Weapon safety and monitoring system

A firearm holder system for use in association with a firearm, a holster, said firearm holder system comprising:

• at least one first sensor adapted for monitoring one or more critical signals, at least one of said critical signals being a withdrawal of the firearm from the holster;
• at least one second sensor for monitoring a at least one non-critical signal;
• a first communication module adapted for emitting wireless communication according to a first wireless communication protocol;
• a second communication module adapted for emitting and receiving wireless communication according to a second wireless communication protocol different from the first wireless communication protocol;
• and
• a processor in communication with the at least one first sensor, the at least one second sensor, the first communication module, and the second communication module, said processor adapted to selectively emit a communication via either the first communication module or the second communication module based at least in part on whether a critical signal is detected or a non-critical signal is detected.

A safety communication system for use in association with at least one firearm and at least one holster, said safety communication system comprising:

• at least one firearm holder system including
• at least one first sensor for sensing a critical event;
• at least one second sensor for sensing a non-critical event;
• and
• a processor adapted for
• emitting a first signal via a cellular communication protocol and via a first low energy communication protocol in response to detection of the critical event, and
• further adapted for selectively emitting a second signal via either the cellular communication protocol or via the first low energy communication protocol in response to detection of the non-critical event;
• and
• a central control adapted for communication with the at least one firearm holder system.
