MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Knightscope, Inc., a leading developer of autonomous security robots (“ASRs”) and blue light emergency communication systems, today announces that a major city in Texas is adding 3 K1 Blue Light Towers to the existing 16 already in use by the city’s department of parks and recreation. This will bring the total number of Knightscope towers in use to 19 for this user, all of which will be monitored by the Knightscope Emergency Management System (KEMS) software.

Public parks quickly lose their value and benefit to the community when citizens feel unsafe or are unable to easily access emergency services. Keeping parks and recreational facilities safe is a key to community wellness and has a direct relationship to their usage rate. Knightscope helps establish a feeling of comfort and security in communities with its familiar line blue light emergency phones that provide highly visible points to establish reliable, one-touch communication with police, fire and EMS.

Emergency communications are always available and are particularly helpful when cell phone service is scarce or a device’s battery has died, and they provide the exact location of the device being used so that services may be quickly dispatched. By contrast, law enforcement professionals are unable to pinpoint people using their personal cellular devices to contact 911 because GPS data is not transmitted through the system.
