“With the POM Safe I feel more comfortable to go into neighborhoods I don’t know. If it gets uncomfortable, the Fake Phone Call helps me to get out discreetly.”

Just one day after setting up her POM Safe, on Aug. 25, 2017, a woman was physically attacked by a man in her home. She reached into her pocket and activated her POM Safe device, which called the 911 dispatcher.
The dispatcher’s voice came through the POM Safe speaker and startled the attacker, which caused him to flee. The attacker was later arrested and put in jail. In her own words, “the POM Safe helped save my life.’’ She admitted there was no way she could have gotten to her phone to dial 911.

How POM Safe helps protect
healthcare employees
Be proactive. Not reactive.
The best outcome in a potentially violent situation isn’t first responders being able to find you, it’s first responders not needing to be called in the first place.
Leave Nothing to Chance
Healthcare employees can tap the POM Safe device once to:
Send a fake text or phone call to their phone.
This de-escalates potentially violent situations and provides a convenient method of distraction and escape.
Connect with a dispatcher for a one-way or two-way voice call.
This offers emotional support and/or lets a would-be attacker know they are being observed.
Auto-send a user’s GPS coordinates & profile info.
GPS coordinates tell you and 24/7 dispatch the user’s profile, and exactly where to send help – minimizing response time.
Other Lifesaving Features
Mass Alerts
Directly alert everyone with the POM Safe app of a safety issue.
Check-in
Have staff check in and out of appointments to reassure them you’re there if they need you.
Virtual Escort
Set a destination and arrival time. If you don’t arrive at your destination by the set time, the POM Safe will automatically send a text to a pre-set recipient.
