Threats Don't Wait — Neither Should Your Response
Picture this: It's mid-afternoon at a local shopping plaza. Staff are busy, customers are flowing in and out, and everything feels normal — until a loud crash echoes from the far end of the property.
People start looking around. Someone runs into the store shouting, "There's a guy outside with a weapon!"
You don't know:
- Where the threat is
- Who's already in danger
- Whether to lock down, evacuate, or wait
This is the moment where seconds matter — and communication makes the difference.
Enter: Tec-Tel's Threat Alerts System
Threat Alerts is Tec-Tel's real-time communication platform built for critical incidents:
- • Active threats
- • Suspicious individuals
- • Weapons on property
- • Workplace violence
- • Dangerous behavior escalating fast
It enables your team to trigger fast, location-specific alerts and initiate a coordinated response — in seconds.
Here's how it could work in that moment:
1. Staff Hits a Threat Alert Trigger
From a mobile app, desktop button, or discreet physical panic trigger, a staff member signals:
"Active threat near east entrance."
This isn't a group text or a call tree. It's a system-wide emergency alert.
2. Instant, Targeted Communication
Everyone who needs to know — immediately does:
- • Security gets details, location, and visuals (if camera feeds are tied in)
- • Employees receive shelter-in-place instructions
- • Emergency services are notified (if configured)
- • Public announcements or lockdowns can be triggered
No confusion. No missed messages. Just action.
3. Your Emergency Protocol Activates
Depending on how it's configured, Tec-Tel's Threat Alerts system can:
- • Lock designated doors or secure certain zones
- • Send instructions to staff and security in real-time
- • Push live camera feeds to command centers or responders
- • Track every step of the incident response for post-event reporting
Why Threat Alerts Matter in Public Spaces
In high-traffic environments — you don't always get a warning.

Real-World Scenarios Where Threat Alerts Save Lives
Corporate Office Complex
A disgruntled former employee enters the building during lunch hours when security is lighter. Reception spots them and immediately triggers a threat alert.
Result:
- • All floors instantly notified to shelter in place
- • Key personnel evacuated via secure routes
- • Police dispatched with building layout and threat details
- • Elevators locked, access doors secured automatically
Shopping Mall
Security camera AI detects someone with a weapon in the food court. The system automatically triggers an alert before human security even sees it.
Response:
- • Store managers get immediate lockdown instructions
- • Shoppers directed to safe zones via PA system
- • Security converges on location with real-time updates
- • Emergency services arrive with live camera feeds
Healthcare Facility
A patient becomes violent in the ER waiting room. A nurse discretely activates a panic button from their mobile device.
Immediate action:
- • Security team alerted with exact location
- • Medical staff in adjacent areas notified
- • Patient areas temporarily restricted
- • Incident logged for regulatory compliance
The Cost of NOT Having Threat Alerts
When seconds count, traditional communication methods fail:
Without Threat Alerts:
- • Confusion about what's happening
- • Delayed response while people make phone calls
- • Critical personnel unaware of danger
- • No coordination between security and staff
- • Emergency services arrive without context
With Threat Alerts:
- • Instant situational awareness
- • Coordinated response in seconds
- • Everyone knows their role immediately
- • Automated safety protocols engage
- • First responders arrive prepared
