BluePoint Alert Solutions
RA-COMM is proud to be a BluePoint Alert System Partner.
To decrease response time of first responders and allow building occupants to take precautionary measures in an emergency situation. Both of these steps are likely to reduce risk and shorten the duration of a threat. The BluePoint Alert Solution is founded on three simple facts:
- The faster first responders are on site, the faster an emergency situation ends
- The faster building occupants take preventative or defensive measures, the more likely the threat can be minimized.
- Panicked people do not think or react rationally.
The BluePoint Alert system (patent pending) provides a series of simple initiation devices similar to fire alarm pull stations that are strategically placed throughout a facility for anyone to initiate. These devices take no training and little thought to use. Additionally, wearable devices can be given to strategic building occupants. Once any device is activated, the emergency dispatch center is notified and dispatches police to the facility. Simultaneously, a pre-recorded message is broadcast through the public address system to warn building occupants of the threat. Rapid response starts with rapid alert.
What makes BluePoint Different?
The patent pending BluePoint Alert system automatically contacts police and alerts building occupants to a threat within the building with minimal human intervention. It is a system that is available to anyone in the building to activate and does not dictate building response protocol – just initiates it. Thirdly, BluePoint provides initial location of threat information to first responders and to building administration. And, lastly, as with a security alarm system, by making known that your facility has a BluePoint Alert system, intruders will be deterred from even initiating a threat within the building.
What It Does
- Acts as a deterrent similar to a security system
- Automatically contacts police with minimal human action
- Automatically communicates a threat situation throughout the building and to Key Stake Holders
- Lets the intruder know Police are on their way
- Provides Police and Key Stake Holders initial location of threat information
Why It's Needed

- Panicked people don’t react rationally or think clearly through even simple operations
- The faster the first responders are on site, the faster the emergency situation ends
- The faster the facility initiates its emergency protocols, the faster the occupants are safe
