Why It Matters

Your Safety Partner When EVERY. SECOND. MATTERS.®

We know that becoming an educator is a calling. But everyday diversions—medical emergencies, student altercations, unauthorized visitors, suspicious activity—limit learning and test the passion of your teachers. They’re looking to leaders like you to protect the learning environment, and that’s a responsibility no one should bear alone.


Schools across the nation rely on us to protect those in their care. The CENTEGIX Safety Platform® is the foundation of your layered safety plan, empowering the fastest response to emergencies. Because EVERY. SECOND. MATTERS.®

CENTEGIX CrisisAlert™ for Schools

It's educator's peace of mind in the push of a button. CrisisAlert is the wearable panic button for schools that empowers teachers and staff to get help anywhere on campus with the push of a button. With single-button activation, help is on the way when and where they need it.

CrisisAlert Is in a Class of Its Own

We don't just raise the bar. We built it.


We lead the nation in wearable panic button technology—for good reason. CrisisAlert is the most widely adopted solution of its kind, deployed in hundreds of thousands of real emergencies. No other solution offers the same depth, reliability, or reach.


Unlike other wearable panic buttons, CrisisAlert activates a fully integrated emergency response and notification system, including flashing strobes, intercom announcements, and computer screen takeovers. It’s the only solution with 100% campus-wide coverage that immediately sends a digital map to first responders with precise location details, down to the exact floor and room, detailing every safety asset in proximity of the alert, to protect your staff wherever they are.


As the most trusted and deployed solution on the market, CrisisAlert goes beyond the badge, delivering unrivaled reliability, redundancy, notification, and response capabilities.

The Technology

One Badge, Two Types of Alerts

Activate the Staff Alert for everyday incidents including medical emergencies, student altercations, and unauthorized visitors. It notifies local administrators and responders immediately, displaying a map showing who needs help and where they’re located on campus.


For extreme situations, the Campus-wide Alert instantly initiates a campus-wide rapid response to emergencies. It notifies 911 dispatch, activates full audio and visual communication, and delivers precise location details with a map displaying who needs help and where they’re located.

The CrisisAlert System was activated by one of our staff pressing his badge which gave notification throughout the school of the cause for concern. In terms of the notification, we heard it over the intercom, the strobes lit up and it came up on the smart boards and monitors in the classroom and throughout the school. We were all made aware, and the teachers responded appropriately.

School Improvement from a Culture of Safety

When your educators feel safe, they’re empowered to focus on their calling: educating the minds of tomorrow by creating
a productive learning environment.

The eye-opener for us was the ability to address teachers’ mental and emotional health as well as teachers’ safety. We wanted to respond to that in a way that really honored their voices and gave them an opportunity to see that we’re listening and will do something. When we listen to our teachers and respond, we’re able to retain our teachers. We saw over the past two years that we had 25-30 teachers return who had left the district. They came back because they heard the district was really honoring and listening to their voices.

FAQs

What’s the difference between CrisisAlert and other wearable panic buttons?

Backed by years of experience, proven in hundreds of thousands of real emergencies, and trusted by more schools than any other provider, CrisisAlert activates a fully integrated emergency response system—including flashing strobes, intercom announcements, and screen takeovers—to immediately alert the entire campus and notify first responders. CrisisAlert delivers over 20 critical features that set it apart.

Why is a wearable mobile panic button preferred over an app-based solution?

Most app-based incident response and communication solutions lack functionality critical in real-world emergencies. Does everyone in danger immediately know to take action? Can your teachers and staff easily request help, even while under duress? Do responders know exactly where to go? A wearable panic button eliminates vulnerabilities related to app-only solutions and enables rapid incident response.

How does school safety boost enrollment?

Your district’s safety practices are a compelling selling point to attract families, retain students, and enhance your community’s perception of your district.

Can I experience how the CrisisAlert badge works for myself?

Yes! We offer a demo of CrisisAlert. We’ll send you the CrisisAlert badge in the mail so you can physically touch it and see how easy it is to use. It is not functional and therefore, you can press the button and experience the badge without any concern about notifying first responders.

Is there supplemental funding to help cover the costs of CENTEGIX for my school district?

Yes! Federal, state, and private funding sources are available to help you purchase school safety solutions and technology.
