San Antonio police are adding another tool that they hope could help officers better respond to active shooter situations.
Members of SAPD’s SWAT team gathered at a church in northwest Bexar County on Tuesday to try out LifeSpot, a cellphone app meant to cut down on response times and better manage the confusion at the scene. The training was scheduled before the Uvalde school shooting happened, according to SAPD.
Schools, businesses, and churches can subscribe to the app, which allows users to trigger an alert that would put them into contact with 911 while simultaneously notifying everyone else at the location about the shooter and police officers who have the app. “Especially in smaller jurisdictions, you may have one, maybe two dispatchers of people that take that call. So you have 100 people, and some of them may have very life and death -- pertinent information they can’t get through,” said LifeSpot CEO Brett Titus, a former Denver Police Department SWAT officer.
