DC Domestic Violence Group Arms Staff with Silent Beacon Safety Tech

DC's oldest domestic violence organization partners with Silent Beacon to equip staff with wearable panic buttons for emergency 911 alerts and GPS location sharing.

This partnership represents a critical advancement in protecting frontline workers who face daily risks while supporting domestic violence survivors. With domestic violence incidents increasing despite overall crime rates falling, the safety of social workers and shelter staff becomes even more paramount. The technology addresses a gap in protection for those working in isolated or high-risk situations, potentially preventing tragedies and ensuring that help can reach vulnerable workers immediately. This innovation could set a new standard for worker safety across social services, encouraging other organizations to adopt similar protective measures for their staff who regularly face dangerous situations while serving communities in need.
