Dallas Police Request Active Threat Notifications Software

The Dallas Police Department (DPD) has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for active threat notifications software on a three-year contract.

According to the RFP, DPD “seeks to implement a state-of-the-art software solution that will allow direct notifications and precise information to be transmitted from authorized personnel who are at the scene of the immediate threat, directly to first responders.”

Authorized personnel listed in the solicitation include businesses, schools and other entities, all of which must be able to submit real-time threat information from their respective locations confidentially.

The requested solution must be hosted on a secure, web-based cloud platform, allow users to call 911 from a mobile and/or desktop application and transmit threat alerts within a geo-fence no greater than 0.25 miles surrounding the authorized entity.

The solution must be compatible with Microsoft, Google Chrome and Apple browsers and able to integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. DPD officers and authorized staff should have the ability to locate and communicate with end users through a mobile application available for both Apple and Android devices.
