Customer Testimonials

A nurse noticed a suspicious individual following her. They weren't able to get on a phone and explain the situation, so they used their duress badge, and help came immediately and deterred the situation.

CrisisAlert is the solution we’ve been looking for. Knowing that in healthcare, if there’s a problem, you just hit that badge…This is an outstanding solution to a long-standing problem.

As a behavioral special education teacher, it is a comfort when you need assistance with a student, you have [the] immediate help needed to deescalate a situation. For all teachers working with students, the response time is much better having our CENTEGIX badges.

The immediate response is something I love…it’s not even a second after I hit my button,” Stiebel says about the responsiveness of CrisisAlert. “It’s that comfort and reassurance that my team is here for me and will help protect me and the clinic.

When you have a solution like CENTEGIX and you have the different methods of notification—the computer takeover, the strobes, the intercom message—your response is so much quicker…You don't have any of that apprehension about what's going on.

We're not going to give anybody free rein in our hallways for 90 seconds.

Emergencies, they don't wait for someone to locate the manual, or unlock the phone, or open up an app. In a crisis, time compresses, and stress truly increases, and so clarity truly does matter. For us, it was more about moving from compliance to readiness.

The difference to me [between a successful response and a response to learn from] is constant communication, real-time information, and leveraging technology...Those are the end-all-be-all to making sure our communities stay safe.

Student and staff safety remains our highest priority. This investment allows us to proactively strengthen safety practices across our entire district and aligns directly with our board of education’s goal of maintaining a persistent focus on the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We are grateful for the leadership and partnership from San Bernardino County and Supervisor Jesse Armendarez in helping us bring this critical resource to every school.

The minute we receive a map in an architectural drawing or PDF is the minute it is out of date! If I have to call an architect or vendor to update maps, I waste time and money. CENTEGIX’s Safety Blueprint is the best of both worlds: we can make updates in real-time, and we don’t have to spend money every time we make a change, like consolidating rooms or adding a mobile classroom. The assessment management and inventory management capability is icing on the cake.

We call it a force multiplier: putting this technology in the hands of more than 25,000 employees gives me 25,000 sets of eyes to help keep the campus safe.

Thanks to the CrisisAlert data, we were able to identify the need and make the case to our Board to invest in areas that needed help. A year later, our CrisisAlert data demonstrated the effectiveness of the changes we made.

In Burkburnett, there is almost no cell service. Phones show no signal at almost all campuses. While working, I tried to send a text that said, “It has to be 115 in here,” but it never went through. So even if I had been able to move my fingers and get my phone out of my pocket, there’s no guarantee it would have been able to dial out.

At J. Frank White Academy, our families entrust us with what matters most, their children. This safety technology helps us continue to provide a campus where students feel protected, cared for, and free to focus on learning. Safety and excellence go hand in hand here.

I don't know of another product out there that can help control the response time to emergencies. Whether it is a whole campus situation—the unthinkable—or these different medical emergencies, or classroom events. I cannot think of anything that's going to speed up a response the way this does, or enable as many employees to be able to get help and initiate a response.

The ability to have that additional sense of safety and security with CrisisAlert, it gives our staff such a sense of safety, protection, and consideration.

When I first saw CrisisAlert, two key elements drew my attention: the wearable badge for every staff member and the visual strobes placed down hallways, in gymnasiums, cafeterias, but most importantly in EVERY classroom. [These places] can be extremely noisy at times. The visual alerts provided by the strobes throughout each campus are a critical part of alerting our students and staff during any campus-wide incident.

To empower people who are under your care with a simple tool where they can press a button to get help during a panic situation makes you feel that we truly are a family and that they are truly cared for when they come to work every day.
