LEE COUNTY —
In an emergency, every second counts, and real-time information is critical. Now, life-saving information is available like never before in Lee County. The “DigitalSiren System and App” work together as a patented, state-of-the-art mobile warning system for communities like Lee County.
With the push of a button, Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputies can now alert motorists and civilians of immediate dangers within close proximity of an active police pursuit, an emergency vehicle approaching or when stopped nearby, as well as alerts for critical incidents or active threats.
DigitalSiren is easily installed with a cutting-edge, portable alert device plugged directly into law enforcement’s in-car laptops. When a local emergency response or law enforcement critical incident occurs, the officer pushes the appropriate button to send a geographical alert to the nearby public. Citizens within that area are immediately alerted on their mobile phones by the free-to-download DigitalSiren app, empowering them with situational awareness by placing never-before-available information directly in their hands
“As Sheriff, I and the deputies of the Lee County sheriff’s Office understand that the safety and wellbeing of our citizens is our first and highest priority,” said Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones. “We hope that the addition of this technology to our vehicles will demonstrate to you and your family our commitment to the safety of our community. Your part is to take advantage of it by downloading the app and making sure those you love do the same.”
For the public, all you need to do is download the free DigitalSiren App, which is available for Android and iOS devices. Then you will receive notifications automatically whenever you enter the range of a pursuit or emergency response by a participating law enforcement agency anywhere in the country.
