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 Works
Press the button once or twice, depending on the situation
ArcAngel button talks to the app (running in the background) & sends alert automatically
No unlocking the phone or fumbling for an app
Text and email alerts sent to up to 5 people (parents, siblings, friends...)
Alerts can be customized from our templates
Alerts include GPS location which can be shared with others or law enforcement

Tracks for 24 hours or until alert is cancelled
Tracks only when button is pressed
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.

Trusted by Parents, Valued by Teens
“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.”
Emma M. • 9th Grader in California
Protect them. Reach them. Help them - instantly.
ArcAngel was created because both of us — as a former police chief and a former Navy pilot, and as parents — saw firsthand how often kids don’t call when they feel unsafe… and how fast things can unfold.
We knew kids and teens needed a way to reach a parent instantly, discreetly without using a phone or drawing attention... and, something they'd actually use.
So, we built something simple enough to use under stress, subtle enough to blend into daily life, and powerful enough to reach you instantly.

Meet the Founders
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, 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. You can press it once or twice depending on the situation, and you can press and hold to cancel the alert.
What happens if the button is pressed by accident?
No problem. An accidental alert can be easily canceled within 10 seconds. Either press and hold the button to cancel, or it can be canceled 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. We urge our customers to try it out and practice as a family for a few days. Create a plan and then settle in to better safety!
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 (e.g., "This is an emergency alert from [Your Child's Name]. They need help.") and a link to their real-time GPS location. Both the 1-press and 2-press alerts have a built in template you can edit for a customized alert message.
Can I customize the emergency alert message?
Yes. The ArcAngel app comes with message templates and 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 - wherever they sell batteries.
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 LE-LR (Low-energy, long-range), 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. You can also cancel the alert at any time. There are other apps out there for 24/7 tracking, but kids don't like to be tracked. ArcAngel provides empowerment, confidence, privacy, and peace-of-mind.
What kind of customer support do you offer?
We offer comprehensive customer support via chat and email. Our team is US based and 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.
What's the activation fee for, and what's included in my purchase?
Your ArcAngel requires professional activation, device programming, and contact configuration before it can protect your family. This one-time $35 fee covers that hands-on setup work (Waived with annual plan!). We include everything in every purchase. The button, wristband, metal clip, app, all the features like text and email alerts, up to 5 emergency contacts, GPS alert tracking, geofences, timed check-in's, multiple languages, and more. Scroll back up to see all of the features you'll get.
What if it doesn't work for me? Can I cancel?
If you're having trouble, let our support team know and we can help troubleshoot it. It's likely we can solve the problem. If not, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, return your ArcAngel within 30 days for a full refund of your first payment. There's no long-term contract. You can cancel anytime after your first month. Your coverage continues through your paid period.
