WJC Alert is an emergency response and reporting solution for communities.
Its use is restricted to registered users who have been authorised by a WJC-affiliated community organization that has adopted use of the NowForce system.
WJC Alert enables real-time communication with that community organization which may then choose to dispatch the optimal responder – based on proximity, availability and experience – to the scene of the reported incident.
This application enables:
- registered individuals to use their mobile devices to send an immediate distress signal or report a crime/hazard/emergency
- security personnel or first responders to transform their smart phones into mobile data terminals, receiving alerts, navigation, and status updates of incidents in their vicinity.
Key Features - SOS Alert & Incident Reporting
- Send an immediate distress signal when youre in danger: Automatically connect with community services by swiping the SOS button. The distress signal can be transmitted in silent or regular mode, and if desired, simply by opening the app.
