    Navigate360 is proud to announce an enhanced partnership with Critical Response Group (CRG) and 911Cellular.

    School safety is complex, and Navigate360 understands the need for a proactive, multi-layered approach. This partnership delivers precisely that—seamlessly integrating powerful emergency response technologies to ensure rapid action in critical moments.

    When every second matters, the speed and effectiveness of a school's emergency response can be the difference between lives saved and tragedy. The partnership between Navigate360, CRG, and 911Cellular provides actionable information, shortened response times, and enhanced coordination between staff and first responders.

    CRG Mapping

    The signature offering of Critical Response Group is the Collaborative Response Graphics (CRG) product, which enhances situational awareness and helps prepare first responders for more effective command and control between diverse agencies and disciplines when responding to unfamiliar buildings and campuses. CRGs are standardized, site-specific, and geo-rectified common operating pictures that combine facility floor plans, high-resolution imagery, accurate labeling of key features, and a gridded overlay together into one map. CRGs were born from lessons learned by US Special Operation Forces (USSOF) and successfully transitioned for use by domestic public safety professionals.

    911Cellular

    911Cellular's Mobile Panic Alert System offers a comprehensive panic alert system that goes beyond a simple mobile app. 911Cellular provides schools with multiple emergency communication options, including wearable badges, wall-mounted buttons, and software-enabled panic buttons on cell phones, tablets, smartwatches, and computers. Designed for rapid response, it ensures instant, discreet connections to first responders and security personnel while maintaining Alyssa's Law compliance. Its advanced indoor positioning technology, tested by NIST, provides precise location details, helping emergency teams respond faster and more effectively.
