About this app

This application is restricted only to active law enforcement officers in good standing of a federal, state or local law enforcement agency, or a retired officer in good standing, as defined in accordance with 18 USC § 926C, a “qualified retired law enforcement officer.”

The Hero911 Network™ is a voluntary, nonprofit foundation of federal, state and local law enforcement officers. The Hero911 Network™ forms a Social Protection Network™ dedicated to reducing law enforcement response time to active school shooting incidents.

When installed, the app will alert officers of an active school shooting emergency. The alerts are sent to all on duty and off duty officers who are in close proximity to the incident.

The app alerts the officers, displays a mapped location of the school, reports how many uniformed and plain clothes officers have acknowledged the alert AND provides a timer from the onset of the initial alert.

The app is part of a system that simultaneously calls the appropriate 911 call center.

ALL federal, state and local law enforcement officers, including certified retirees, are encouraged to download the app and join the Hero911 Network™ today!

You must certify that you are a law enforcement officer during the signup process. Your signup will be fully vetted before your app will be activated.

Impersonating a law enforcement officer is punishable to the extent of a felony violation.

Ratings and reviews

Used to be an exceptional app, but as of late, it has deteriorated to the point that I receive the information from CNN before Hero911. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR AN APP TO GIVE L.E. THE UPPER HAND. If it is an option of paying for the services, I know for myself, that I would gladly pay to receive the information faster than the "Average Joe"!

I really wish this concept would take off, its absolutely a great idea. Recently i haven't received any notification, unsure if its working right of things have been that low key lately.

Push notifications come too late to make a difference to users. Most recent notification was for an incident that occurred @ 0909 hrs, but received through app at 1051 hrs. News reports on TV come quicker.

What's new

Updates to support newer Android devices and changes to the signup process to make app permission requests more clear.

Update to resolve an issue affecting some Android 13 and 14 users when the app is operating in the background.
