Overview
RapidSOS is a public-safety technology company whose platform connects emergency-response organizations with information from connected devices, enterprises, and other sources. Its stated purpose is to make critical context available to public-safety personnel during emergencies, including information that can support dispatch and response before or alongside a caller’s spoken report. The company describes this connected system as the Safety Network and presents its offering as mission-critical intelligence for emergency response. The company serves several groups involved in emergency response. Its public-safety offerings are presented for 911 agencies, law enforcement, and fire and EMS teams. RapidSOS says it supplies pre-arrival information such as telematics, hazardous-material information, and sensor data to responders. Its enterprise products include Corporate Safety, which gives corporate security operations centers visibility into 911 calls near participating facilities. The company describes alerts that can include location, estimated floor, incident clustering, and notifications through SMS, email, or API, helping security teams coordinate with public safety. RapidSOS says its network connects public-safety organizations, enterprises, and millions of consumer and corporate devices. Its homepage reports that the network is used by more than 99% of U.S. agencies and describes extensive connections among agencies, responders, devices, and enterprise partners. In a company blog post, RapidSOS characterizes the Safety Network as the result of a decade of collaboration and development with public safety, and describes Harmony AI as a system built to turn emergency data into secure, actionable intelligence for public-safety teams. Exact founding details, headquarters, ownership, and listed status are not established by the supplied evidence.
History
RapidSOS describes its development as a decade-long collaboration with public-safety professionals to connect the context surrounding emergencies with the people answering calls, dispatching responders, and serving communities. The company says that first responders, citizens, and communities have helped shape its work, and that public-safety partners have served as collaborators and guides in building a more connected emergency-response system. An early version of the platform was called the RapidSOS Clearinghouse. The company’s account identifies an early iteration being tested by Bob Finney, Director of Communications Technology at the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, in 2017. RapidSOS says the platform developed through years of iteration, testing, and co-development with public safety. It describes the resulting Safety Network as standards-compliant, secure, and interoperable, bringing together agencies, field responders, connected devices, sensors, drones, and cameras. RapidSOS’s present offering spans public-safety and enterprise use cases. Its homepage describes mission-critical AI and intelligence for emergency response, with information intended for 911 agencies, law enforcement, and fire and EMS teams. The company says that connected information can provide dispatchers and responders with context before arrival, including telematics, hazardous-material information, and sensor data. For enterprises, Corporate Safety is presented as a way for global corporate security teams and GSOCs to receive visibility into 911 calls near their facilities and coordinate with first responders. The company’s 2026 Safety Network blog post presents Harmony AI as a further development of the platform. RapidSOS says Harmony AI was developed over a multi-year research-and-development process with public safety, with the intended role of turning large-scale emergency data into secure, actionable intelligence for mission-critical teams. The supplied material does not establish the company’s exact founding date, founders, headquarters, ownership structure, or major corporate transactions.
