Critical Response Group (CRG), the nation’s pioneer in critical incident mapping data, has become an Industry Partner in the ZeroNow alliance of educators, security specialists, technology experts and students working to bring violent incidents in schools to zero.

CRG combines military-inspired techniques and rigorous on-site verification processes to deliver detailed, accurate, and human-verified critical incident maps that enhance emergency response coordination and save lives.

Public safety software

The company’s maps are compatible with security platforms in use across the safety ecosystem, from mobile apps and 911 centre/PSAP systems to public safety software used by first responders, allowing all stakeholders to work from the same map when responding to an incident. CRG is already implemented in 15,000 schools across the U.S.

When it comes to threatening incidents in schools, we all know that seconds count,” said Ara Bagdasarian, Co-Founder of ZeroNow. “The common operating picture CRG provides saves critical moments in an emergency, which can save lives. And the passion the people at CRG bring to their work protecting schools matches that of ZeroNow’s other industry and nonprofit partners. CRG is a great fit for our alliance.”

Incident mapping solutions

We look forward to collaborating with other stakeholders in the fight against school violence,” said CRG CEO Mike Rodgers. “Our critical incident mapping solutions are validated by thousands of real-world incidents under the most stressful conditions and are deployed across the United States to protect schools, businesses, hospitals, and other critical infrastructure. As a ZeroNow Partner, we’ll be able to share knowledge with others in the field who are working toward the same goals.”

ZeroNow was founded by technology partners Additional, Axis Communications, Axon, Omnilert, and Status Solutions, along with campus safety nonprofit partners the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA), NASPA (the Association of Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education), Campus Safety Magazine, and VTV Family Outreach Foundation.
