Dating Safety Check Programs

Programs that allow individuals of all ages who are about to go on a date or meet a stranger for the first time to register with a safety check service in order to confirm their whereabouts and well-being after the meeting. The program provides a neutral third party to support individuals who may not have access to a friend or family member to tell where they are going. The service collects contact information, the meeting location, the name and description of the person being met, as well as other relevant information. If the user doesn't communicate back with the service within 24 hours or another predetermined length of time following the date/meeting, the program will reach out using the contact information provided. If the user still doesn't call back, the service will contact the police and file a missing person report.
