Project Statement

We are blessed with a system of responsive emergency workers. Our firefighters rush to extinguish blazes, our EMTS rush to treat the stricken, and our police rush to help victims of crime. But do we stop to consider that when our lives are threatened often, so are theirs? With all that they do for us, someone should be watching over them. Our project, the Silent Sentry, puts tracking, sensing, and communication technology to work to help protect the lives of these valiant rescuers.
