For campuses and companies

One agreement. Every person covered.

Issue 3rd-i across a student body or a workforce. Every person gets live trip sharing, one tap escalation and a real Safety Agent, without turning your organization into a tracking system.

3rd-i Command

Everything happening around your people. Nobody's location.

Your safety office watches events, not students. Live escalations, reported hazards and unusual volume across every campus you cover, each one placed and timed, with the person behind it withheld by design.

Who is behind an event

Never shown to your organization.

An event tells your safety office what is happening and where, so they can act. It does not tell them who. There is no view of where a person is, no way to open a trip on their behalf, and no record between trips. A Safety Agent and 911 see what they need to respond. You see the event.

Events are placed, never attributed. Nothing on this screen resolves to a person.

Automated safety alerts

Turn it on once. Your people get warned automatically.

A deployment can push live safety alerts to every covered phone, placed to where a person actually is. Switch on the areas you cover and the app starts warning them the moment something is reported nearby, no app to open and nobody to ask.

Same product, different population.

Universities

The walk back across campus.

Students walk home late, take rideshares alone, and work in labs and libraries at hours when the campus is empty. A blue light phone only helps if you are standing next to it. 3rd-i travels with them.

  • Seats issued to enrolled students, no individual sign up
  • Works off campus, which is where most of the walk actually happens
  • Squads students pick themselves, so they will actually use it
  • Safety Agent monitoring and 911 escalation on every seat

It started on a campus.

3rd-i grew up at the University of Miami, built around the question a student asks at 1am: does anybody actually know where I am right now. The early focus was rideshare safety, which is the campus problem in miniature: alone, at night, in a stranger's car, with nobody watching.

The habit behind the product came first. Founder Dillon Abend used to call friends on late night runs just to have somebody on the line. 3rd-i is that habit, made into software with a Safety Agent at the end of it.

So the campus case is not a repackaging exercise. It is the case the product was designed against first.

3rd-i in the press

University of Miami College of Engineering South Florida Business Journal Business Wire

Built for K-12

The faculty app, built around the campus.

For schools, 3rd-i is rebuilt around the building itself: a silent alarm in every teacher's hand, your blueprints in every response, and a live command center for the district.

A silent alarm active: the phone streams both cameras while campus safety, district command and 911 acknowledge one by one The campus home screen: hold the silent alarm for three seconds to reach campus safety, district command and 911

Faculty silent alarm

Help, without reaching for anything but a phone.

  • Hold three seconds. Silent activation reaches campus safety, district command and 911 at once.
  • Alyssa's Law ready: a silent panic alert linked directly to first responders.
  • Streams instantly. Both cameras go live to district command the moment the alarm fires.
  • Private by design. Streams activate only during an active alarm and are visible only to command and dispatch.

Blueprint digitizing and indoor routing

Your blueprints become the response map.

  • Digitize your facility: a responder-ready map of every building, with standardized floor plans, key infrastructure and emergency access information.
  • Every second counts: synced building maps put your exact room and floor on every alarm, with indoor routing both ways: staff to the safest exit, responders to the incident.
  • Built for low connectivity: new positioning tech locates a person within 5 to 10 feet, even deep inside buildings like schools.
A received tip with a two-way anonymous thread between the reporter and campus safety The anonymous tip line: pick a category, describe the concern, and send without your name, number or device attached

Campus community

Anonymous tips, before something becomes an incident.

  • Anyone can speak up: bullying, weapon concerns, vandalism, mental health.
  • Identity stays hidden, with two-way anonymous follow-up so staff can ask questions.
  • Every tip lands in an admin review panel in 3rd-i Command, triaged by campus and severity.
A lock screen with the campus status widget and a shelter-in-place-lifted notification District alerts: a shelter-in-place order with one-tap acknowledge and a live count of staff who have seen it

District alerts and widgets

From district command to every lock screen.

  • Stay informed, stay prepared: verified real-time alerts for lockdowns, nearby incidents, severe weather and emerging threats.
  • Staff acknowledge in one tap, and command sees exactly who has seen it.
  • Home and lock screen widgets keep campus status and the alarm one glance away.

3rd-i Command

When an alarm fires, the district sees everything.

Live dual-camera streams, the exact room on the digitized blueprint, responder routing and a second-by-second timeline. One screen for the safety office.

Integrations

Built on the 911 response stack

3rd-i plugs into the systems public safety already runs on, so an alarm arrives with verified location, an indoor map and a direct line to dispatch, not just a dot on a map.

Indoor Mapping

The map does not stop at the front door.

Your blueprints become a live, room accurate map. When an alarm fires, campus safety and local responders see the floor, the room and the fastest way in.

Staff route to the safest exit runs the other way.

01 Every building digitized

Your blueprints, standing up.

We take the floor plans you already have and turn them into one standardized, responder ready model of the building: every level, every room, every stairwell and every door, on the same plan for campus safety and for dispatch.

02 An alarm names the room

Not the address. The room.

When an alarm fires, campus safety and 3rd-i Command do not get a pin on a parking lot. They get the building, the floor and the room, on the plan your own drawings produced, while the stream is still opening.

03 The route continues indoors

Past the front door, the map keeps going.

The route threads from the nearest entrance, through the stairwell, to the room the alarm came from. Responders stop guessing which door and which corridor, and staff get the opposite instruction: the fastest way out.

04 Found in feet, not floors

Close enough to knock on the right door.

Positioning built for low connectivity locates a person within 5 to 10 feet, even deep inside a building. A Safety Agent is on the stream first, with 911 escalation behind them, and the routing works both ways: staff to the safest exit, responders to the incident.

On the map

  • Alarm, Room 214. Main floor, north corridor.
  • Nearest entrance: the ground floor lobby, step free, straight to the main stairwell.
  • Staff route to the safest exit runs the other way.
  • Within 5 to 10 feet, even deep inside the building.

Campuses & companies

One system. Every community.

Seats, pooled minutes, privacy, and real human support, connected across every person you cover.

Seats issued centrally

Your population gets covered without anyone having to find the app, pick a tier, and put a safety subscription on a personal card.

Pooled streaming minutes

Minutes sit in one pool across the deployment, so the people having a bad month are covered by the people who are not.

Safety Agent monitoring

Every seat carries the same escalation path: a Safety Agent on the stream, and 911 when it needs to go further.

Privacy that survives scrutiny

You are buying cover, not surveillance. A trip exists only while the person starts one, and nobody, including you, can start one for them.

Their Squad, not your org chart

People choose the squad that watches their trips, so they are sharing with friends rather than reporting to an institution.

One agreement, one bill

Per-seat pricing against your population, on a single invoice, instead of reimbursing individual subscriptions.

You are paying for it. You still cannot watch them.

This is the difference between safety cover and monitoring, and it is the reason a deployment gets adopted instead of quietly uninstalled.

What a deployment gives you

  • Every person in your population covered, whether or not they would have paid
  • A real escalation path with a Safety Agent and 911 behind it
  • Aggregate usage against the seats you are paying for
  • A duty of care answer that works off site and after hours

What it does not give you

  • No ability to see where any individual is
  • No ability to start a trip on somebody's behalf
  • No location, route or video between trips, for anyone
  • No feed of who went where, because that record belongs to them

3rd-i is on iPhone today. For a mixed-device population we will scope coverage and the Android timeline with you directly.

Safety consulting

Sometimes the gap is the protocol, not the product.

The team behind the Safety Agent network, backed by four patents pending, also consults on the program itself: what the protocol says, who moves when an alarm goes off, and what a responder is handed when they get there.

Audit

Safety audits and protocol design

We walk the campus, the venue or the site the way your people move through it, at the hours they actually do it, then write the protocol against what we found instead of against a template.

Dispatch

Emergency response and dispatch workflow

How an alarm reaches a human, what gets transmitted to 911, and how a responder finds the right door: closest entry pinning, access notes and indoor wayfinding, designed around the way dispatch really works.

Late nights

Rideshare and late night transit programs

The problem 3rd-i was built around. Pickup points, verification habits, and the walk from the drop off to the door, turned into a program students and staff will actually use at 2am.

Readiness

Training and drills for the people on shift

Sessions and drills for security teams, RAs, shift leads and front desk staff, so the plan is muscle memory before the night it matters instead of a document nobody opened.

It stands alone, or it comes with a deployment.

Bring us in for the program on its own, or run it alongside a 3rd-i deployment so the protocol and the app agree with each other. The entrance a Safety Agent reads out is then the same door your response plan sends people to.

3rd-i for organizations

Nobody should have to buy their own safety net.

If your people are walking home late, working alone, or travelling for you, cover them properly and let them pick who watches.
