How Hyper-Reach Helps Livingston County Respond Quickly to Public Safety Threats

Customer: Amanda Schultz, Livingston County Sheriff's Office

Overview: Rapid Notifications for Missing Persons and Public Safety Alerts

When public safety is at stake, fast and effective communication is critical. In the past month alone, the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office used Hyper-Reach to send out two urgent alerts — one for a missing elderly man and another for a felon on the loose.
With Hyper-Reach’s mobile app, the Sheriff’s Office was able to quickly notify residents, mobilize community assistance, and enhance officer response times. The system’s ease of use also empowered supervisors to take immediate action when needed.

The Challenge

Law enforcement agencies must be prepared to issue public alerts at a moment’s notice. The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office faced two separate emergencies in different parts of the county:
  • A missing elderly man who had wandered off and required urgent location assistance.

  • A felon on the run, posing a potential threat to residents.
In both cases, it was critical to:
  • Reach the right people quickly to ask for assistance.
  • Ensure all supervisors could send notifications with ease.
  • Use a reliable system that worked on the go.

The Solution

Using Hyper-Reach, the Sheriff’s Office was able to:
  • Instantly send community-wide alerts for both emergencies.

  • Utilize the mobile app for real-time notifications, even while in the field.

  • Ensure all supervisors were trained and ready to send alerts, with an intuitive, user-friendly process.

The Sheriff’s Office found Hyper-Reach so easy to use that all supervisors quickly learned how to send alerts, with one saying, “Oh, that’s pretty easy!” The simplicity of the system ensures that urgent messages reach residents as fast as possible — no delays, no confusion.

The Outcome

Both incidents demonstrated how Hyper-Reach enhances public safety efforts by:

  • Helping mobilize residents in missing person searches.
  • Providing a rapid and reliable way to issue alerts.

  • Enabling trained personnel to act quickly through the mobile app.
“The app is definitely my go-to when a message needs to be put out. All of my supervisors have it on their phones, and they all found it easy to use. Hyper-Reach was really helpful and continues to help us. We always want the public’s assistance when trying to search for someone.”
— Amanda Schultz, Livingston County Sheriff’s Office
