The SaferWatch app allows users to send texts, photos, audio, or video in real-time, allowing for a quicker more cohesive coordinated response time by first responders committed to saving lives.

The system is connected to Florida legislation prompted by the 2018 attack that killed 17 and injured 17 others at Majory Stoneman Douglass H.S. in Parkland. The legislation is named "Alyssa's Law", after victim Alyssa Adelhoff.
