What about the project?
LiveSafe (https://www.livesafemobile.com/solutions/) is a cornerstone of healthy, happy, and productive communities. We act on this belief by creating software that changes the dynamics of how individuals communicate with safety officials, security personnel, and others for improved safety outcomes.
Our “social safety” products allow employees and students to easily connect with corporate security and campus safety, as well as with each other. Passion for building safer communities is in our DNA and we are serious about providing a high quality product that works every time someone needs it.
Since going to market, LiveSafe has helped to save a student’s life, led police to make several arrests, contributed to an overall 40% reduction in crime at one of their partner schools and prevented an unquantifiable number of other incidents from occurring.
