THE EMERGENCY BUTTON

Help is four taps away

Turn on the emergency button and it stays on screen in the Tango Tango app. Tap it four times fast and your team is alerted. No talking, no menus.

Always within reach

Drag the button to any corner of the screen so it's right where your thumb expects it.

Hard to trigger by accident

Four rapid taps declares an emergency, which is deliberate enough to avoid pocket alarms.

Bluetooth panic buttons

Declare from a Bluetooth button like the AINA Voice Responder or the Tango Tango Bluetooth button, without reaching for your phone.

Send every emergency to the right team

You decide who gets alerted. Send every emergency to one list, or route alerts to different teams based on who declared them.

Alert feeds

Add users to your emergency alert feed and they get every emergency sent to it, in the app and the admin portal.

Groups

Route Team A's emergencies to Team A's supervisors and send everyone else's to your default list.

ALERTS THAT GET THROUGH

Can't-miss alerts, even on silent

When someone declares an emergency, everyone assigned gets a loud alert tone and a prominent banner, along with the caller's location.

Breaks through Do Not Disturb

Turn on Notify in Do Not Disturb so alerts sound even when a phone is silenced or in Focus mode.

The caller's location, instantly

The location of the person who needs help goes to everyone receiving the alert, so responders know where to go.

Dispatch sees it too

Admin portal users get a banner on every page, with View on Map to go straight to the caller's location.

Use cases

When seconds count, nobody has to ask where

Emergency Alerts give your team a silent, instant way to call for help and tell responders exactly where to go.

Officer needs backup

A deputy on a traffic stop can call for backup without keying up or tipping off the subject.

Working alone

Night shift, maintenance, or field staff can call for help from anywhere they have coverage.

Security teams

A school or church security team member can quietly alert the whole team to a threat, with their location attached.

Command stays informed

Supervisors see every active emergency on the portal map, even when more than one is active.

Emergency Alerts FAQ

Common questions.

Answers to what we hear most from buyers.

How does someone declare an emergency?

Tap the on-screen emergency button four times quickly, or press the emergency button on a supported Bluetooth device like the AINA Voice Responder.

Who receives the alert?

The users you add to your emergency alert feed, in the app and the admin portal. Use Groups to send different users' emergencies to different teams.

Will it sound if a phone is on silent?

Yes, with Notify in Do Not Disturb turned on. If a push-to-talk call is active, the alert tone pauses so the call can be heard.

How is an emergency ended?

The person who declared it, or any admin portal user, can clear it for everyone. Any user can silence the tone on their own device.

Do responders see the caller's location?

Yes, as long as the caller allowed Tango Tango to use location on their device, which is normally done at install.

Does this cost extra?

No. Emergency Alerts are included on every plan. If someone needs help, they should be able to ask for it, whatever plan you're on. Just update to app version 4.1 or later.

BUILT FOR THE AGENCIES OTHERS OVERLOOK

Serious support for small agencies.

Most public safety vendors chase the largest metro contracts. Tango Tango was built for the agencies without the budget to staff dedicated LMR or IT personnel — the small and rural departments that make up the majority of public safety agencies but who get the least attention from the industry's largest vendors.

Trusted by those who protect

Don't take our word for it.

Hear from agencies across the United States.

Tango Tango Interoperability is a must in rural Georgia. Many cases cross jurisdictional boundaries and we all have different radio systems. We've greatly improved response and officer safety. We can communicate in a minute's notice.
