SDS Introduces ResponderLink to Revolutionize Emergency Notification for Active Shooter Events


New all-in-one system delivers 911 notification and real-time incident awareness to transform police response to gun violence events

Rowley, Mass., Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), an Alarm.com (NASDAQ: ALRM) company and the world’s leading gunshot detection solutions provider, has introduced ResponderLink, a groundbreaking new 911 notification service for gunshot events. ResponderLink completes the circle from detection to 911 notification to first responder awareness, giving law enforcement the enhanced situational intelligence they urgently need to save lives.

Integrating SDS’s proven gunshot detection system with Noonlight’s SendPolice platform, ResponderLink is the first solution to automatically deliver real-time gunshot detection data to 911 call centers and first responders. When shots are detected, the 911 dispatching center, also known as the Public Safety Answering Point or PSAP, is contacted based on the gunfire location, enabling faster initiation of life-saving emergency protocols. ResponderLink also enables the delivery of alerts to a customer-defined list of stakeholders and the integrator servicing the location. By opening the lines of communication between first responders and facility managers, ResponderLink aids in the overall coordination of emergency response to the location.

Leveraging Noonlight’s emergency response call center, trained safety agents provide 911 operators access to a live web dashboard showing shot details, location, and progression as an incident unfolds. First responders on the way to the scene are empowered with ongoing updates for advanced situational awareness when approaching an active threat. For SDS customers, ResponderLink completes the circle as an all-in-one system for unparalleled gunshot detection, 911 notification, and emergency response coordination.
“Active shooter incidents require extraordinary speed and coordination between 911 dispatch and first responders,” said Rich Onofrio, Chief Technology Officer. “Our new ResponderLink transforms emergency communication and response by linking real-time gunshot intelligence to the first critical seconds of an incident. This has game-changing potential to save lives.”

“We’re excited to partner with SDS, a technology that eliminates the frenzy of false gunshot detections and further protects people in the most prevalent and heartbreaking threat facing our schools and businesses today,” said Zach Winkler, President of Noonlight. “Our ability to quickly communicate the exact location and progression of gunshots throughout a building or campus is critical to empowering first responders, reducing response times, and saving lives. It’s a powerful integration, and one that certainly furthers our mission.”

By streamlining notification and equipping first responders with live data, ResponderLink enables law enforcement and EMS to approach active shooter events with the highest level of preparation to swiftly neutralize threats. As part of the standard SDS subscription, ResponderLink is now available to all new and existing customers.

SDS will be offering product demonstrations including ResponderLink at the Global Security Exchange in Dallas, Texas September 11-13, 2023. Schedule a meeting or visit Booth #4345 at the show to learn more.

Prescott College Creates $19 Million Economic Impact in Yavapai County


According to a recent economic impact study, Prescott College, a private, non-profit college located in Prescott, Arizona, has created an economic contribution of more than $19 million to Yavapai County.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — According to a recent economic impact study, Prescott College, a private, non-profit college located in Prescott, Arizona, has created an economic contribution of more than $19 million to Yavapai County.

The study, conducted by Applied Economics LLC, found that in the last fiscal year, which began on July 1, 2022 and ended on June 30, 2023, the College supported job growth, engaged with the local economy, stimulated spending, and brought tourism to the area. This total economic contribution is made up of direct spending by Prescott College and its subsidiary Arizona Serve, as well as indirect contributions from purchases made locally, and the spending of students, faculty, staff, and visitors to the area.The college directly and indirectly supported an estimated 244 jobs and $7.9 million in annual labor income at the Prescott campus, and at other local businesses in the region that are supported by the college.

For Prescott College President Dr. Barbara Morris, it was tremendously important to conduct this study to fully recognize the economic impact of the College within the local community. “As a fixture of the City of Prescott for more than 55 years, Prescott College creates jobs, contributes to tourism, and stimulates the local economy through institutional expenditures and student, faculty, and staff spending. We are a vibrant community living, working, and studying in the City of Prescott. We are proud to play a pivotal role in the economic success and development of our home city of Prescott and Yavapai County.”

In addition to Prescott College’s annual economic contributions, the college has recently embarked on a $2.2 million campus revitalization project. This project, initiated and designed by Professor Tony Brown’s Psychology of Space class, focuses on improving the overall campus aesthetic through structural renovations, landscape and artistic elements. Campus buildings are being renovated to contribute to the updated flow of campus and provide exciting and safe spaces for students, faculty, and staff. Among these renovations include many exterior projects suggested and designed by students. Improvements in the campus revitalization project are ongoing and have thus far created six new jobs.

New Survey from Aeroflow Breastpumps Highlights Breastfeeding’s Impact on Postpartum Mental Health & the Need for Education


Notable survey results include:

  • About 90% of respondents shared they experienced feelings of anxiety, sadness, stress or a low mood after giving birth, with 67% saying that breastfeeding or making sure their baby was fed contributes to their stress and anxiety.
  • More than half (53%) of new mothers experienced anxiety after weaning.

63% of respondents felt they needed assistance to properly breastfeed, and 67% admitted to skipping out on activities due to not having the tools or resources necessary to breastfeed in public.

  • 70% of new moms shared they have also had to skip out on activities due to their postpartum depression.
  • 80% of mothers expressed interest in receiving education around the resources and tools available to help their mental health after giving birth.
  • More than 90% feel that education around what mothers should expect with their postpartum mental health needs to be improved.

While the demand for increased access to breastfeeding support and mental health services is clear, further insights from the survey also conclude that barriers to access when it comes to location exist. More than half (57%) stated that their location interfered with their ability to receive care around breastfeeding and postpartum necessities, while 30% of mothers stated they were never able to get ahold of a lactation consultant when they were struggling. This reveals an immediate need for telehealth services so mothers have access to professional help at all times while breastfeeding.

“Postpartum already brings so many changes to a woman’s body that can impact their mental health, and breastfeeding is just another aspect that can cause new moms to feel stress and anxiety. I commonly see moms experience different struggles that can make the breastfeeding experience stressful and frustrating, such as clogged milk ducts, trouble latching, low milk supply, establishing a feeding schedule and more. We need to provide mothers with more education and resources to ease their breastfeeding journey, which will ultimately result in better mental health outcomes,” said Dr. Jessica Madden, Medical Director of Aeroflow Breastpumps. “Health insurance and care providers play a huge role in increasing access to critical breastfeeding resources that will help moms reach their breastfeeding goals and ensure their mental health is intact. At Aeroflow Breastpumps, we’ve recently partnered with Canopie to provide affordable, app-based mental health support for new mothers through insurance, and are continuing to expand our educational resources for new mothers.”

“The results of this survey illustrate something we know as mothers and as professionals in this space: our mental health overlaps with every single experience of motherhood. This is doubly true with feeding – in fact, challenges and unmet expectations around feeding are some of the most reliable early warning signs that a new mom is struggling,” said Anne Wanlund, Co-Founder and CEO of Canopie. “Poor mental health can negatively impact our ability to feed – and sleep, because we are anxious about feeding. It’s a vicious cycle. We have seen very high uptake and engagement in Canopie’s mental health programming from Aeroflow moms, who are given trustworthy, evidence-based resources and a supportive environment that encourages them to take care of themselves.”
