CRG Mapping

The signature offering of Critical Response Group is the Collaborative Response Graphics® (CRG) product, which enhances situational awareness and help prepare first responders for more effective command and control between diverse agencies and disciplines when responding to unfamiliar buildings and campuses. CRGs are standardized, site-specific, and geo-rectified common operating pictures that combine facility floor plans, high-resolution imagery, accurate labeling of key features, and a gridded overlay together into one map. CRGs were born from lessons learned by US Special Operation Forces (USSOF) and successfully transitioned for use by domestic public safety professionals.

911Cellular

911Celluar's Mobile Panic Alert System, rated the #1 panic button vendor by the Florida Department of Education Selection Committee, offers a comprehensive panic alert system that goes beyond a simple mobile app. 911Cellular provides schools with multiple emergency communication options, including wearable badges, wall-mounted buttons, and software-enabled panic buttons on cell phones, tablets, smartwatches, and computers.
