Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for managing a panic mode for a communication device. The communication device may trigger a panic mode causing the communication device to emit an audible alert while simultaneously causing the communication device to capture any detected sound at a frequency below the audible alert. The communication device may also collect metadata including a date stamp, a time stamp, and a location that may be associated with any captured audio and stored locally or streamed to a communications server for storage. The communication device may also send a message to one or more other endpoints indicative of the communication device having engaged panic mode.
