For Local Government
There’s no panic button in the courthouse.
Or the city offices. Or public works.
E3 puts a panic button on every employee’s phone. One tap alerts everyone and two taps show you who’s safe in seconds. No hardware, no wiring.
Coordinated response for every agency, facility, and floor
Trigger a building- or agency-wide alert from any device the moment a threat emerges, so every employee and responder knows what's happening in seconds.
Account for staff and visitors in real time as teams check in live, so you know who's safe without sweeping the building floor by floor.
Give responders live, interactive floor plans, so they arrive knowing every floor, exit, and the exact location of the incident.
Secure, real-time messaging built for emergencies. Coordinate your team and responders from one place, without switching apps.
The everyday threat isn’t the headline event.
Ask anyone who works a public counter. It’s the irate citizen: the property owner furious about a tax bill at the assessor’s window, the ex-spouse who shows up where an employee works, the public comment that turns personal.
Most of it ends at words. The numbers say more of it doesn’t. Workplace homicides hit their highest level in over a decade in 2022, and nearly half happened in public buildings.
Your employees signed up to serve the public, not to guess whether today’s angry visitor is venting or escalating. E3 gives every one of them a quiet way to call for help, and gives you a way to answer in seconds.
The patchwork vs using E3.
Most local governments run a hodgepodge of part-way tools. Here's the day-of difference.
“Honestly, I thought it was going to be way higher… the pricing to me seems very, very reasonable.”

Government FAQs
How is E3 priced?
Per building, not per user. Unlimited employees and devices, free responder access. Most counties land between $2,000 and $10,000 per year.
How do counties pay for it?
Most fund it from the existing public safety, EMA, or facilities budget; at this price point it usually falls below formal bid thresholds. Counties have also used homeland security grant funds and risk pool support, and some replace an existing line item E3 makes redundant.
Our budget is already set for this year. When should we start?
Start now. Most counties demo and present to the board months before the fiscal year starts on July 1 or October 1. The demo is where you get the pricing sheet and references your board packet needs, and many counties fall below formal bid thresholds at this price point.
Does the app track employees’ phones?
No. E3 never tracks device location. Check-ins during an event are the only status recorded, and map access is role-restricted.
What about employees who won’t install it on a personal phone?
A fair concern, and E3 was built for it. There is no location tracking, ever; a check-in during an event is the only status recorded. E3 also runs on desktop, so employees are reachable however they work. Most counties see resistance fade once staff learn the app cannot follow them.
Does E3 replace our mass notification system?
No. CodeRED, Everbridge, and IPAWS alert your citizens. E3 is the internal layer: alerting employees, accounting for them, and coordinating response inside your buildings.
Do the sheriff and fire department get access?
Yes, free. Responders get instant alerts and live Smart Maps. If your schools use E3, they may already be connected.
How long does setup take?
Most counties are live in a few weeks. Send floor plans; we build the maps and load your plans. Training included.
We’re a small county with a one-person EMA. Is this too much system for us?
The opposite. One person can alert every building, watch check-ins land, and hand the commission a clean report.
Don’t panic, respond.
Be ready when every second counts, in every county building. Budget planning starts in September, and counties that demo now walk into board meetings with numbers in hand. After your demo we’ll send pricing, IT requirements, and county references in your state.
