What We're Building
Safety Alert Patrol is a web-based platform connecting organizations (schools, churches, community centers) with retired volunteers for enhanced safety and security monitoring.
Purpose: Bridge the gap between organizations needing safety monitoring and retired community members seeking meaningful volunteer opportunities
Key Features:
- Smart Matching System - Swipe-based matching with geo-location, time-based availability, and intelligent filtering
- Role-Based Dashboards - Organization, volunteer, admin, and super admin dashboards with tiered permissions (admins handle support/disputes, super admins manage system settings and admin accounts)
- Credential Management - Volunteers build and maintain professional profiles with qualifications and experience
- Event Management - Organizations create safety monitoring events, volunteers apply, organizations approve/reject
- Optional Background Verification - Volunteers can complete background checks ($35) for verified badge, priority matching, and increased trust
- Digital Liability Waivers - E-signature waivers and emergency contact collection required before first event application for legal protection
- Attendance Verification & Reviews - Organizations submit arrival/departure times and performance reviews after each event, automated no-show detection, cancellation policies, reliability scores for volunteers and organizations
- Trusted Member Program - Verified volunteers skip re-application process for trusted organizations (still require attendance verification)
- Communication Suite - Private messaging between organizations and volunteers, trusted member channel groups
- Smart Notifications - Real-time alerts for new events, applications, and messages
