Stackbench and Ken have been available to assist me any time that I have needed them. They are open to ideas that are tailored more to our department needs and assist in ensuring that our needs are met. They have treated us as a family member or close friend since the first day we met. The UPC App is simple and easy to use while also allowing me to put a lot of information out to our department as well as our community. Everyone I have spoken with about the app tells me how user friendly it is and it is so easy to navigate. I will be using the app to alert the communities about any emergency situation that may arise that may affect the community. It will not only be used to pass on criminal incidents that may be occurring, but will also be used to keep the community informed of any road closures, traffic situations, etc.
“Ken and the team at StackBench have been amazing to work with. We can call them any time day or night and they are always ready to assist. We love the app design and the ease at which it takes to learn to add/change data. We most enjoy the fact that the app can be personally configured/designed to meet the needs of our department. We use the app to spread awareness about our department, events, programs and real time public safety bulletins. The fact that we can receive crime tips, set up extra patrols on houses/businesses and send out messages to all employees are just a few more of the reasons we are very pleased with the UCP app. We highly recommend this based upon ease of use, price point and customer support.”
Before we implemented the Sheriff's app from Confianz Global, we were using pagers to push critical information to our team. Using the Sheriff's app, we are able to communicate internally and externally seamlessly and efficiently.
Ken Schul would be your single point of contact.
