We were talking about this in admin chat just now and here's what I had to say:
The posted idea adds maybe a *bit* too much complexity to it for it to be as effective as I think OP wants. I like the idea of a dedicated crisis PDA app, but the remote ID Access escalation sounds counter to the way ID access is designed and somewhat overpowered. It would make sense in an IRL system to help people, but in terms of the current game design, it doesn't fit.

It sounds like the main problem he wants to address is to avoid "bystander syndrome" where people see the alert, but don't act on it assuming someone else will. To that end, I think a solution that would give you more bang for your buck(in terms of ease of use and simplicity of development too) would be something like this:
Add a link in the chat message from the original CRISIS ALERT which the recipient can press for their pda to instantly send a message back to the person who sent the alert and to the crisis mailgroup saying "Officer X: RESPONDING"

But going further and giving them more buttons to press in response to the response and whatnot are just going to lead to noise if they're sending out more chat messages.
