Broward County law enforcement has unveiled a new app that will help students and staff report potential threats to police quicker.
Broward Sheriff’s Office officials are releasing the “Safer Watch” app which will link those who have downloaded it to deputies and investigators within the agency.
Users can send text messages as well as photos, video, and audio clips about possible threats. They can also record incidents that take place on campus.
BSO officials, including Sheriff Scott Israel, have come under fire in the months following the deaths of 17 students and staff inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on February 14th.
