Partner network
CHICAGO, Ill. & MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., August 11, 2015 – BluePoint Alert Solutions
(http://www.bluepointalert.com/) the leader in Rapid Emergency Response Systems (RERS),
today announced its partnership with Low Voltage Contractors (LVC), a Minnesota-based
security solutions provider that serves not only Minnesota, but, Arizona too. Founded in 1983,
LVC (http://www.lvcinc.com/) has provided fire and life safety solutions for more than 30 years.
Its new partnership with BluePoint will help provide RERS to schools, commercial buildings and
other facilities in the Minnesota and Arizona areas with the ultimate goal of dramatically
improving the response time of law enforcement and first responders to crisis scenarios.
“We are excited about both the partnership and the potential for continued growth with LVC,”
said John Shales, co-founder and CMO of BluePoint. “With its proven track record of successful
fire and life safety installations, LVC is the ideal partner for BluePoint as we continue our
mission to improve response times in crisis or emergency situations.”
BluePoint’s Rapid Emergency Response System is specifically designed to speed the response
times of law enforcement/first responders and notify building occupants when life-threatening
incidents occur within schools and other facilities. Similar to a standard “fire alarm,” occupants
can activate a BluePoint pull station and instantly notify police of an emergency situation to
expedite a rapid response. It also communicates automatically with building occupants to
initiate emergency management protocols that are proven to save lives in times of chaos and
crisis. Similarly, BluePoint also offers a Medical RERS solution that speeds the response time of
medical first responders, as well as communicates to designated individuals in the building in
the event of a medical emergency.
LVC will act as an extension of BluePoint by being able to sell, install and maintain its awardwinning RERS solution. To date, BluePoint has eight Certified Partners located throughout
various parts of the U.S. as it continues its expansion nationwide.
“We look forward to working with BluePoint and believe there is a clear need for its solution in
our areas,” said Bert Bongard, vice president of sales and marketing at LVC. “In areas like the
Twin Cities, southern Minnesota and Phoenix, we believe that a Rapid Emergency Response
System can be a real difference-maker in the unfortunate incidence of an active shooter or
other crisis scenario. This partnership is ideal from both a technological and life safety
perspective.”

About BluePoint
BluePoint Alert Solutions was founded with a very specific goal – to help speed the response
times of police and other first-responders in the event of an active shooter or other emergency
situation where lives are at stake. It is first-to-market with a dedicated Rapid Emergency
Response System (RERS) that acts like and is as easy-to-use as a standard “fire alarm” – but is
focused on alerting police/emergency responders and school/building occupants to potential
danger. BluePoint is initially focusing on education institutions, yet the need and interest within
other facility/campus-type environments will lead to expansion. For more information please
