Panic alarm means a silent security system signal generated by the manual activation of a device intended to signal a life-threatening or emergency situation requiring a response from law enforcement. Specifications include:

• The alarm shall be directly linked to local law enforcement authorities—In the case of a school building located in a municipality in which there is no municipal police department, a location designated by the Superintendent of State Police.
• Alarm shall immediately transmit a signal or message to such authorities upon activation.
• The alarm shall not be audible within the school building.

No other school safety platform can offer the range of functionality, ease of use, and reliability.

Alyssa's Law in a COVID-19 Environment

Students at home, in school, and even outside of the school building all are learning in a new environment influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. When something critical happens, like a shot goes off in the school, the well-trained staff instantly alert all of the faculty members and law enforcement of an active shooter and begin to get their students to safety. But in this new environment, how do staff members know which students are at home, and which students are in the building? As safety becomes more complex in this new blended learning environment, it is important to have a safety platform to not only alert everyone of a critical event, but to also have the tools to swiftly get every student to safety. Don't invest in a one-dimensional warning system, invest in a safety communication and management platform.
