  • Summary

    Police made an arrest of a person who attempted to rob a convenience store and did not count on RapidSOS being there to prevent it. A store employee triggered a silent panic alarm, which was verified by a safety agent at their corporate operations center. Through RapidSOS, the safety agent sent a Digital Alert to the store’s closest 911 center and was even able to share a photo of the intruder from the security camera. When police arrived on scene, they quickly identified the intruder and made an arrest.
