AlertNet™ is a next-generation public-safety app that provides real-time firearm breach advisories, including stolen-weapon alerts, shots-fired notifications, and unauthorized-access warnings. It integrates secure & encrypted law-enforcement API data as well as SSC- ARUD arms recovery unit system’s network to protect individuals, families, schools, and communities across Canada.

Yes. AlertNet™ will launch as a free mobile app for Canadians. The first 25,000 downloads are reserved for individuals and organizations who join the Early Access list.

• By integrating local, provincial, and national law-enforcement agencies via their API’s.
  Once a breach is confirmed, the app automatically sends a location-specific alert to a user within a defined danger zone, much like an “Amber Alert for firearms,” but far more localized and instantaneous.

• By integrating ARUD-equipped firearm’s network API’s

AlertNet™ provides:

• Firearm breach advisories

• Shots-fired notifications

• Stolen firearm bulletins

• Unauthorized access warnings

AlertNet™ gives people seconds that save lives.
Schools, parents, teachers, workplaces, community centres, and families can take immediate safety actions the moment a gun-related threat emerges nearby.

AlertNet™ will be digitally linked via its API to the ARUD Network.
When an ARUD-equipped firearm case is tampered with:

1. The owner is instantly alerted.

2. Once the owner validates the breach, AlertNet™ broadcasts a community advisory.

3. All users within the defined radius receive a real-time alert with evidence-grade details.

No. AlertNet™ does not monitor or record your personal location.
It only uses anonymous radius-based geofencing to determine whether a verified firearm threat is near you. Your identity is never shared.

No. AlertNet only sends verified Weapons related alerts.
These are rare, high-priority events. The system is designed to avoid unnecessary or unverified notifications.

When an alert is issued and an individual has reached safety, they can instantly notify their pre-defined loved ones list, family, partners, coworkers that they are secure. With a single tap, real-time reassurance is sent out, reducing panic, confusion, and unnecessary emergency calls. This transforms AlertNet from a one-way warning tool into a true two-way personal safety network, connecting people in moments when clarity matters most.

Every advisory must be verified through one of the following:

• Direct ARUD breach confirmation

• Owner validation

• Secure API access to police-verified reports
  This eliminates speculation and prevents false alarms.

AlertNet™ is developed by the National Firearm Safety Initiative (NFSI), a Canadian nonprofit, and co-engineered with Sound Sentinel Corporation, creators of ARUD.

AlertNet™ follows strict Canadian privacy standards.
No personal information, firearm data, or user identity is ever shared outside the app.
All communications are encrypted end-to-end.
