Customer Testimonials

We're not going to give anybody free rein in our hallways for 90 seconds.
Michael Frederick
Executive Director of Safety and Security, Horry County Schools, SC

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.
Dr. Kristina Hudson
Principal, J. Frank White Academy, TN

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.
Howard Hepburn
Superintendent, Broward County Public Schools, FL

We needed that piece that would [allow us to] respond immediately. And we felt this platform, with everything else that it does, was the best option for us.
Jim Fish
Superintendent, North Branch Area Schools, MI

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.
Theresa Rae
Principal, North Branch Elementary School, MI

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.
Justin Quick
Technology Facilitator, Burkburnett ISD, TX

Our previous mobile app didn’t work because there were simply too many places on campus where the service was unavailable. We switched to CENTEGIX because there was nothing else that compared in terms of complete campus coverage and ease of use.
Frank Frangella
Chief of Safety and Security, Martin County School District, FL

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.
Dr. Tahira DuPree Chase
Superintendent, Westbury Union Free School District (NY)

Working in crisis, you always look at a preventative model. We knew we would be taking people who were higher acuity, so we really wanted to have a more secure system and provide that additional reassurance for staff.
Jill Anderson, LPC
Emergency and Acute Program Director, New River Valley Community Services (NRVCS),

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.
Dr. Kevin Klauer, DO, EJD, FACEP
President and CEO, Shepherd’s Hope

This recognition reflects strong overall performance, no underperforming student groups, and a high graduation rate. These results demonstrate our focused efforts and academic initiatives are making a meaningful difference in student engagement, consistency, and overall performance.
Keith Brown
Superintendent, Limestone Community High School District, IL

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.
Kala Bettis, MA, LSC, LAC, LPC
Integrated Behavioral Health Supervisor, Vail Health Behavioral Health, CO

I've spoken to several principals and several teachers throughout the entire district and everyone loves CENTEGIX. Everyone loves what they can do. What I hear mostly from staff members is they don't have to try to communicate an emergency to administration. They can communicate an emergency through the system, and then that alerts the entire building.
Chief Tracey L. Whaley
Chief of Police & Executive Director of Public Safety, Dekalb County School District, GA

Always remember that we have two priorities here. One is to ensure that the safety and security of all students and staff remains our number one priority. We have several actions that have been implemented in our system that show our commitment to safety and security. And second is about providing quality educational experiences to every single one of our learners.
Dr. Carmen J. Balgobin
Superintendent, Volusia County Schools, FL

The idea that anybody can call a lockdown is huge. And not only that, 911 is notified immediately, and they know who activated the lockdown and where they were located...That's good knowledge, especially for law enforcement.
Jeremy Gulley
Superintendent, Jay School Corporation, IN

CENTEGIX badges have helped us tremendously... should we need to press them in a medical emergency or in a code red situation with an active assailant.
Chelsea Evans
School Resource Officer, Palm Beach County School District, FL

As a school administrator for over 30 years and a superintendent for 8, I don’t know of a program that has brought me more peace of mind than the CrisisAlert system. We installed this program in all of our schools in the fall of 2023. Recently, while walking through a school, a young teacher stopped me and thanked me for having the system. She told me of a story where a student had a seizure in her class. She quickly utilized the alert system and in less than a minute the administrative team and medical staff were at her door. Due to the quick response, the student was quickly stabilized and later made a full recovery at the hospital. As she relived this experience, she thanked me again for our district investing in this life saving system. I would never start a school year again without the CrisisAlert system.
Dr. Ed Nichols
Superintendent, Madison City Schools, AL

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.
Courtney McBride
Principal, Flomaton Elementary School, Escambia County Schools, AL
