At the request of many of our investors, we are sharing a noteworthy case where the Bond service offered unique security value to an end user. Let us know if you find this post interesting, and we’ll share more in the future!

Case summary: A Bond member (female student) entered the car of a man she just met in a bar. He told her he would take her home. After a few minutes in the car, she noticed that they were headed in the wrong direction. She realized that he was taking her somewhere against her will. She decided against clicking the Bond SOS button, since that would require her to speak with 911 and alert the driver she was seeking help. Instead she tapped the chat button on the Bond app. A Bond security agent in a Command Center received the chat, noticed that she was in a moving car, activated one-way audio to listen in to the situation, determined that it was an emergency, activated local 911, and informed them a member had been abducted. 911 immediately dispatched a police unit for search and rescue.

Note that prior to hearing from Bond, 911 didn’t know that the woman existed, didn’t know she was having an emergency, and didn’t know where she was.

Bond alerted 911 to the emergency and then directed them in their pursuit of the car. At some point, the driver of the car got off the highway and stopped the car. The police were nearby and with Bond’s orchestration arrived at the car and rescued the woman.

Insights:

1) This is an example of a situation where the member (the woman) transitioned from a phase where it was too early to dial 911 (she didn’t feel it was an emergency until she was in the car) directly to one where it was too late to dial 911 (she didn’t want to alert the driver once she realized something was wrong)

2) Bond’s security platform (technologies and Personal Security Agents) allowed it to uniquely:

   a) Detect the risk

   b) Pinpoint the location and identity of the member

   c) Activate local 911 (note that there are ~6,000 911 centers in the US - Bond can pinpoint the one closest to the member)

   d) 911 knows of Bond, and accepts Bond’s direction as provided by Bond Personal Security Agents who are all trained on 911 protocols and “”speak the same language”" as 911 dispatch

   e) The end user member is safe

   f) As humans, we are subject to what psychologists call “”hindsight bias”" - namely, since there was a positive outcome in this case one might assume that such outcome was inevitable. Note that in most cases when a woman is taken in a car against her will, the outcomes are horrendous.
