Customer Testimonials

Stacey Locke

For our staff, it has been mindblowing [with the badge and the safety network having access to CENTEGIX technology], they now feel valued. We now have 2,000 additional eyes and ears on the safety of not only Yakima School District, but also the community as a whole and I can tell you what a difference that has made when we talk about a comprehensive culture of safety.

Deputy Superintendent, Yakima School District, WA

Chad Hecktor

This adds another layer of safety and security to their kid’s school day, so their kid can focus on—and they can focus on—their kid’s education and less on their kid’s safety.

Director of Technology, South Callaway R-2 Schools, MO

Howard Hepburn

Our District is adding a layer of safety with the CENTEGIX CrisisAlert wearable badge for Alyssa's Law, gaining the on-site notifications—strobes, computer screen takeovers, intercom announcements—that initiate our emergency protocols and direct everyone on campus to follow their safety training.

Courtney McBride

This to me is an extra thick layer of safety that is immediate. You’ve got somebody on the scene within a matter of seconds. You press that button more than three times and you’re fixing to have police, everybody is coming, and the response time, I know, is going to be just as fast.

Kentucky Elementary School Teacher

A student passed out in my classroom. I was able to use the CrisisAlert badge to quickly summon the nurse, principal, and assistant principal to my classroom to provide assistance. The badge was on my lanyard so I did not have to leave the student’s side to access the phone for assistance. Help was immediately notified, and they were able to quickly get to my classroom to offer assistance.

[I used CrisisAlert™ for a] student fight. I think it is a great asset to have to aid in safety and rapid response.

If you’re not near a phone, if you don’t have a walkie, if you’ve got your cell phone laying on your desk, [you can’t get help]. So that’s what we were looking for: immediate communication from anywhere that would get people to you.

Principal, North Branch Elementary School, MI

Vickie B. Turner

I've made many decisions over my tenure on that board, but I will put [CENTEGIX] up there in the top five. It's probably one of the most important decisions I ever had to make and I have never looked back on it. There's no price to put on safety.

Former Board Chair, DeKalb County School District, GA

Michael Armantrout

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.

Landmark Teacher

We received training on the system. The support and trail of the system was easy and clear. We will run a drill for staff/students after the entire team is trained on the system. The system is created for expediency and ease of use, both of which are necessary in an emergency situation.

Scott Jones

When we evaluated dozens of solutions to comply with the panic button mandates in different states, we were impressed with CENTEGIX’s unique ability to cover every square foot of a property. That—along with the ease of installation and their responsive approach to customer support—led to our decision that CENTEGIX is the best solution for our properties.

Working night audit is always an isolated job, but thanks to CrisisAlert™, I know that help is just a click away.

Douglas County High School Teacher

3 students in a neighboring class got into an argument that was escalating quickly and almost turned into a fight. I ran to the class and use my badge to alert help. Within seconds the administrators came and help separate the students. It’s quick, easy and super efficient.

Joe Fasolino

I think workplace safety has improved tremendously [since implementing CrisisAlert]. Having the response system has made it so there is an efficient way to reach out if you have a situation escalating that you need immediate help with.

Dr. Craig Lockhart

This entire event—from the first shot that we heard to the time that law enforcement was heavily on the scene and responding and the threat was over—it was all done within three minutes. It just shows just how critical three minutes actually is. Saving lives comes down to seconds. And CENTEGIX was able to cut through a lot of the misunderstandings because we knew there was a lockdown, we knew we needed to respond, and we knew where to go.

Superintendent, Valdosta City Schools, GA

Dr. Kristina Hudson

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.

Douglas County Middle School Teacher

Two students got into a physical altercation in my room. I used my Centegix button and I quickly received help and got my class back in order. It allowed me quick help that I needed.

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.

Medical Emergency At School, Student’s Life Saved

A Dunwoody High student has been working to ensure that Narcan—a medication that rapidly reverses the effects of opioid overdose—is in every classroom in the school, after a student died from a fentanyl overdose in May 2024. The effort paid off in August 2024 when some of those extra doses were used to revive another student having a medical emergency.
