Statement of Values

First Responder Technologies (FRT) is developing powerful tools to enable first responders and security professionals to more effectively protect the lives of innocent people against acts of violence in residences, commercial premises and public spaces, such as schools, hospitals, places of worship, theatres and arenas.

Our cost-effective WiFi-based technology will identify the presence and shape of dangerous metal objects,and provide early warning to the people with a duty to respond. This will protect people in private and public gatherings from being targets of violence, and allow them to go about their business without fear for their safety or fear of:

  • racial, religious or socio-economic profiling;
  • personal intrusion, including loss of liberty and privacy; and/or
  • rapidly changing technology falling into the wrong hands.

We believe these fears are legitimate and we commit to be held accountable to the following principles:

1. Non-Discrimination

  • FRT will minimize the collection, storage or use of personally identifying information (PII) to cases where probable cause has been established and such information is essential to investigate, prevent or stop a security threat.
  • Our detection goal is to enable warning of threats of mass murder without resorting to traditional discriminatory “clues” such as skin colour, gender, use of religiously pious symbols, or perceived socio-economic status.

2. Least Intrusive Use of Technology

  • FRT will always deploy the least intrusive technology solution appropriate to the security threat at hand.
  • We are committed to providing the highest degrees of both detection accuracy and anonymity.

3. No Sales To Those Who Fail to Respect Our Principles

  • We will demonstrate our commitment to these principles through measurable, transparent compliance, determined through consultation with third party experts.
