A Phone Isn't a Safety Plan
Kids try to be aware and prepared, but when danger or high-stress moments occur, using a phone isn't always possible. Adrenaline makes fine motor skills disappear. That's the gap in modern safety that leaves even the most prepared families vulnerable.
the calm way to keep your teen safe
ArcAngel: The Missing Layer
ArcAngel was created by a police chief and designed for that moment of stress. It's a simple, physical button. One press - discreet, quick, quiet - is all it takes to send a text alert with their exact GPS location to you and up to four other contacts. No drama. No escalation. Just help on the way.
safety should be simple - help should be immediate

How ArcAngel is Different
Here's the problem. In a high-stress moment—when adrenaline is pumping and the mind is racing, fine motor skills disappear. Unlocking a phone, finding an app, typing a message, or calling becomes nearly impossible. That's why law enforcement, military, and aviation professionals rely on simple actions - physical buttons for emergencies. ArcAngel brings that same proven technology to your family, and blends in to be discreet. One press. That's all it takes.
help is just one press away

“My high school son used ArcAngel when he felt unsafe at a party and wanted to get out of there. I was able to get to him and pick him up in a matter of minutes.”
Tammy D. • Mom of 2 in St. Louis
“I'm a home health nurse and have to go to parts of the city where I don't always feel comfortable. Having ArcAngel with me has made such a difference in feeling safer and more prepared. Me and my sorority sisters could have used this in college too!!”
Sydney L. • Nurse in Dallas
“My mom got me an ArcAngel button and I do feel a sense of security or confidence when I have it with me. I take my dog for walks and hikes all the time and it feels good having it with me on trails, in parks, or when it's getting kinda dark out.”

Dave Newlan, former police chief, school safety expert, & parent
The story of ArcAngel didn't begin in a boardroom. It began with a tragedy. When I was a police chief in Florida, a local woman was attacked and killed by her ex-boyfriend. She had a restraining order. He wore a court-ordered ankle monitor. She trusted the system to keep her safe, and it failed her. That night, she had no way to silently, quickly signal for help. That story is the reason I created ArcAngel.
I knew there had to be a better way to empower the vulnerable among us, from domestic abuse victims to our own children, with a simple tool to get help when they need it most. A tool that works when your hands are shaking and your mind is racing.
My experience in law enforcement and school safety taught me one thing: in a crisis, simplicity saves lives. Preparation and calm decision-making matter most. That's why ArcAngel isn't another complicated app. It's a single, stress-proof button.
We designed it to help your children think clearly, act confidently, and stay safe without losing their independence. Because parents deserve practical tools, not panic, and kids deserve a safety net they'll actually use.
Chris Usselman, former Navy pilot & parent
My career as a Navy pilot was built on one core principle: preparation. In an emergency, you don't have time to think; you have to react. Your training, your tools, and your situational awareness are what get you through.
When I first learned about ArcAngel, I saw that same principle applied to civilian life. Dave had created a brilliant, simple tool to solve a tragic problem. My mission became clear: to make sure that tool was reliable, accessible, and in the hands of every family who needs it.
For me, this isn't just a business. It's a continuation of a life dedicated to serving and protecting - it's in my DNA. As a father, I share the same worries every parent has today. That's what drives me to ensure ArcAngel is a product you can trust when it matters most.
As a parent and former Navy pilot, I know that preparation builds confidence, not fear. ArcAngel was created to help families have better conversations and give kids a tool they can carry with them for life. Our hope is that it becomes a calm, practical source of security you can always rely on."
Questions Frequently Asked
If you’re wondering about something, there’s a good chance another family has asked it too.
How exactly does ArcAngel work in an emergency?
It's simple. When the ArcAngel button is pressed for two seconds, it uses Bluetooth to securely connect to the ArcAngel app on the user's smartphone. The app then instantly sends a pre-written text alert and a link to a live GPS map to up to five pre-selected emergency contacts. The entire process is silent, discreet, and takes only seconds.
What happens if the button is pressed by accident?
No problem. An accidental alert can be easily canceled within 10 seconds directly from the ArcAngel app on the user's phone. Expect some accidental presses in the first week or two, then people will get used to it.
Who receives the alert, and what information do they get?
You can designate up to five trusted contacts (parents, guardians, family, friends) in the app. When an alert is triggered, they will receive a text message with the custom alert you created (e.g., "This is an emergency alert from [Your Child's Name]. They need help.") and a link to their real-time GPS location.
Can I customize the emergency alert message?
Yes. The ArcAngel app allows you to create your own custom alert message, so you can tailor it to your family's specific needs and provide the most relevant information to your emergency contacts.
How long does the battery last, and what kind of battery is it?
The ArcAngel button is equipped with a standard CR2032 coin cell battery that lasts for approximately 3 years with typical use. It is easily replaceable, and you can find replacement batteries at most grocery stores and pharmacies.
Is the ArcAngel button waterproof?
Yes, it is water-resistant with an IP65 rating. This means it is protected from dust and can withstand splashes, rain, and sweat. However, it is not designed to be submerged in water, so you need to remove it before swimming or showering.
How far can the ArcAngel button be from the phone to work?
ArcAngel uses Bluetooth 5 Low Energy (LE), which provides a reliable connection up to 100 feet (30 meters) in an open environment. The range may be slightly less indoors depending on obstructions like walls, but it is designed to work reliably whether the phone is in a pocket, a backpack, or a nearby room.
What is the warranty on the ArcAngel device?
Every ArcAngel device comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty that covers any defects in materials or workmanship under normal use.
Is ArcAngel always tracking my child's location?
Absolutely not. This is a core feature of our philosophy. GPS location is only activated and shared when the button is pressed. The tracking link remains active for 24 hours for that specific alert and then automatically expires. We do not believe in 24/7 tracking; we believe in empowerment and privacy. You can also cancel an alert at any time on the app.
What kind of customer support do you offer?
We offer comprehensive customer support via chat and email. Our team is ready to help you with setup, answer any questions you have, and ensure your family feels confident and secure using ArcAngel.
What if we need help setting it up?
The ArcAngel app is designed to be incredibly user-friendly, with a guided setup process that takes less than five minutes. If you run into any issues, our support team is always here to walk you through it.
