Dan retired in 2021 after serving 23 years with the Connecticut State Police.  He began his career as a road Trooper, patrolling the northwest corner of CT.  He then spent 12 years as a Detective in the elite Western District Major Crime Squad, where he investigated numerous felony cases such as homicides, bank robberies, sexual assaults, financial crimes and most notably, the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting.  As the Lead Investigator of that tragedy.

Problem Addressed:

In today's security landscape, rapid and effective response to critical incidents, such as active shooter situations, is crucial. Traditional surveillance systems often struggle with real-time management because manually isolating camera feeds is time-consuming. This limitation means that these systems are more useful for post-event analysis rather than providing situational awareness during an incident. During real-time events, having to manually manage processes can conflict with training and distract responders, leading to less efficient responses.

A Better Way:

The PortNexus Active Shooter Early Warning System revolutionizes incident response by establishing two-way visual and audio communication, providing real-time situational awareness, and broadcasting critical information to the entire First Responder team. It shares exact locations, visual details, and optimal routes to the target while leveraging smartphones for broader perspectives and real-time communication. Additionally, it can distract the shooter, inform others, and help manage the scene in real-time as the event unfolds, ensuring a safer and more coordinated response.

Adding 360+ Vision:

Integrating Hanwha Wisenet Wave to manage existing cameras based on their proximity to the PortNexus system significantly broadens the field of vision for the Dispatcher Command Center. This powerful combination eliminates confusion and wasted time by automatically localizing and presenting the four nearest cameras, displaying their feed live to the first responders in control of the event. It enables dispatchers to zoom in, see around corners, and maintain a comprehensive, detailed understanding of the situation, utilizing existing cameras to provide a broader view of the area. This game-changing integration simplifies and revolutionizes threat management, making it more efficient and effective than ever before.

Shaving Minutes Saving Lives:

First Responders can quickly verify threats, removing misinformation and confusion. They get real-time guidance, reaching targets faster and safer. This robust solution extends to smartphones and laptops, keeping everyone in sync and allowing the command center to lead effectively, ensuring coordinated responses.
