Woot! The Internet Patrol has been selected for the 2017 Best of Sunnyvale Award in the Software & Internet category by the Sunnyvale Award Program.

The Internet Patrol is very happy to announce that we have been judged one of the top 50 safety, security and survival blogs in the world! The award, awarded by security outfit Security Search, out of New Zealand (go All Blacks!) went to fifty sites dealing with various aspects of security, including online security, family safety, senior safety, self defense, and survival.

While parents often agonize over their kids’ smartphone usage, Steve Latham is grateful that his 11-year-old son Samuel knows how to use a smartphone. That’s because Sam Latham saved Steve’s life by using the Red Cross smartphone app when his dad seemed to be having a heart attack while driving.
