Common DoC Safety Issues and How OK Alone Helps

High-Risk Home and Community Visits

Corrections and parole officers often enter unknown environments where risk can escalate quickly. With High-Risk Check-Ins, officers can flag visits as higher risk so missed check-ins trigger faster escalation and response if something goes wrong.

Immediate Threats Requiring Discreet Help

Officers may not be able to make a phone call if a situation becomes threatening. The Panic Button allows them to silently raise an alert and share their location instantly, ensuring help is initiated without escalating the situation.

Loss of Signal During Field Work

Community supervision often takes officers into various areas with poor reception. Low Signal Mode+ ensures officers can still check in or raise alerts via SMS or call when mobile data isn’t available.

Officer Incapacitation or Sudden Injury

If an officer is injured, attacked, or loses consciousness, they may be unable to call for help. Man Down Protection automatically detects inactivity and raises an alert, ensuring assistance is sent even if the officer can’t respond.

“We wanted to provide staff with a sense of the agency’s motto, ‘We never walk alone.’ We wanted them to know even if they were by themselves there was a way they could get help if they needed it and a way for us to determine where to send that help.”
