Agencies can enhance the safety and efficiency of their officers by creating a realtime connection between an officer’s gun and holster and command. When a weapon is drawn, fired, or separated from the officer an alert is instantly delivered to the E911 dispatcher to allow immediate support and backup to be sent to that officer’s location.

Control rooms are the brains of any facility. Designed to receive torrents of information, control centers rely heavily on technology to keep things organized and efficient.

We'll celebrate the formal launch of the R2 Network with an eye towards the future. We will highlight what's to come from the Network designed to enable innovators and support end-users of the public safety industry.

Yardarm Holster Aware detects when a handgun is removed from or inserted into a holster. The device works with most connected officer technology and applications, including body-worn cameras from leading manufacturers. The sensor continuously analyzes the presence of the firearm within the holster to create removal and insertion events. As events are detected, this information is transmitted via a secure, AES-encrypted wireless link to any smartphone, land mobile radio, or other Bluetooth device. Data from Holster Aware can deliver real-time event alerts to nearby officers, E911 dispatch, or other devices including auto-activation of body worn cameras. The sensor is easily installed onto approved holsters using 3M™ VHB™ adhesive.

The sensor captures comprehensive telemetry including: - Holster state - 3-Axis weapon orientation - Weapon discharge - Weapon jams - Racking the slide - Magazine removal - Magazine insertion

First responders and public safety agencies can use the product finder to identify the technology solutions their agency needs to address response and resiliency challenges.

Holster Aware is the core of Yardarm connected officer solutions. It autmoatically captures, analyzes, and transmits real-time data during critical events in the field. Powered by advanced sensors, Yardarm brings smart technology to holsters and weapons and enables advanced machine-to-machine capabilities. The company holds patents with hundreds of claims, and continues to expand its intellectual property to maintain technology and thought leadership in forensic firearm technology.

Innovators can add important details about their products, using the product builder, that will help end-users on the R2 Network identify their solutions and understand fit.

Finding investors to support start-ups in the public safety market is a huge challenge. A growing list of institutions and individuals are helping to meet the critical need. This resource will help connect funding sources with venture-ready public safety technology companies.

We've all been in at least one poorly run meeting. In fact, some of us are in them regularly and businesses waste a lot of money on them.

Yardarm integrates into existing officer aware platforms, allowing sensor telemetry to be delivered to any industry standard computer aided dispatch (CAD) or realtime crime center (RTCC) software solutions via standard APIs.

Sensor data is transmitted through an officer’s smartphone, land mobile radio, or other connected device to deliver realtime alerts to the platform.

Public safety agencies will be able to use the Grant Portal to identify the grants they qualify to procure needed technology and resources. Entrepreneurs can use the grant portal to find funding to support the development of their technology.

In-person and online opportunities to engage with the public safety community around what's new in response and resiliency technology.

Stakeholders are the backbone of the public safety industry. Federal agencies, associations, distributors, corporations, and other service providers play a vital role in the innovation ecosystem. We're launching a dedicated Stakeholder user group in the R2 Portal to help streamline Stakeholder interaction on the Portal with admin like abilities to create programs, events, content, and even products. Stay tuned for continued feature releases to improve stakeholder functions through 2022.

Departments now have an option to gather critical forensic evidence in the event of lethal use-of-force involving an officer’s weapon or holster. Yardarm Blackbox generates after-action telemetry reports much like those available for conducted electric weapons. As the product name suggests, this service operates in a manner similar to aircraft flight data recorders. Yardarm sensors installed in weapons or hoslters are configured to record all weapon activity.

Programs and challenges designed to help promote and support the growth of public safety innovation. Stakeholders can add opportunities and recruit participants, while innovators will be able to apply in just a few clicks.

Lesson planning eats up a lot of time for teachers. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, K-12 educators spend around seven hours of every work week just on lesson planning.

In critical situations officers must focus on protecting themselves and others. Yardarm Holster Aware wirelessly activates industry-leading body-worn cameras, removing the burden from officers who may forget or are unable to manually activate their camrea.
