While international military action may take months or years to materialize, local real time protection is available today. That’s where Rapid Emergency System and its getRapidShield mobile app steps in. This service allows individuals to:

• Activate an SOS alert immediately and notify professional response teams.

• Gain access to monitored security escorts, rapid intervention and tracking.

• Ensure help arrives quickly when every second counts, especially during an abduction or hostage scenario.

In contrast to large scale military operations, which may have complex geopolitical constraints and slow mobilization, a dedicated private-security platform like the one offered by Rapid Emergency System focuses on you the citizen: your location, your threat, your rescue. When kidnappers strike, or when the unexpected happens, your first line of defence might not be a foreign army but the phone in your hand.
