Customer Testimonials

The system has a very sophisticated mapping feature that allows responders to see exactly which room or hallway the emergency is coming from and from whom. In the event of a real active shooter, we could share this information with outside police agencies who may be coming to aid us.
Paul Cordova
Police Chief, Aldine ISD, TX

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.
Dr. Craig Lockhart
Superintendent, Valdosta City Schools, GA

It empowers teachers to be in control of the safety of their room. They can summon a principal at the push of a button. We know where and we know who. That is a powerful technology.
Trent North
Superintendent, Douglas County Public Schools, GA

We love it. It’s such a great product. There are not too many things that are easy anymore, especially in education, and this is an easy one.
Thomas McKee
Superintendent, Rudyard Area Schools, MI

There were multiple staff members who pressed a button and there was an immediate response. And that quickness of response is something that made me feel much safer. And I'm glad to have this device now…We just received [CrisisAlert] last week, and we had a major incident on campus within a week—that shows just how important this response mechanism [is].
Reuben D'Silva
Rancho High School teacher, Clark County School District, NV

We use it almost every day—if a teacher has an issue with a student or there’s a medical emergency. We don’t have to worry about getting to a phone and calling the office and trying to page someone. [With the badge], we just react automatically and it saves on time. It’s been very helpful…[Teachers and staff] all realize the time it saves them and how they can get help immediately. It’s become something they don’t want to do without.
Mark Hiltunen
Principal (Retired Summer '24), North Branch High School, MI

We don't want our staff to have to rely on their cell phones. Many of our schools don't have good cell service, as well as many staff members don't always have their phones on them. The wearability of CrisisAlert gives us total coverage and immediate connection to law enforcement if needed. We also wanted something that could support our current systems (i.e. Informacast) and investments, and CrisisAlert does just that.
Lou Cammiso
Director of Safety and Security, Naperville Community Unit School District 203, IL

I love the simplicity of the CENTEGIX safety solution. I love the fact that it empowers everyone to be on duty. We have a saying on our team that we’re all on duty when it comes to safety. This actually lives that message out.
Mark Martin
Superintendent, Meade County School District, KY

At Ingenuity Prep, we’ve made it our mission to build a robust culture of safety, backed by cutting-edge tools and systems. Despite our best efforts, we identified a critical gap in the speed and effectiveness of our internal communications during emergencies. CENTEGIX has been a game-changer for us. With its rapid, precise alerts to both administration and staff, we’re able to respond instantly to any situation—whether inside or outside the school. This solution not only enhances the safety of our students but also gives our staff the peace of mind they deserve.
Will Stoetzer
CEO, Ingenuity Prep Charter School

We chose CENTEGIX because we wanted our students, families and staff to have confidence that help can be activated quickly, anywhere on campus, with a reliable solution that meets the needs of our geographically and culturally diverse district.
Clayton Anderson
Superintendent, Elko County School District, NV

Here recently, we're averaging probably two students a week that are having medical issues and we've had to call ambulances in. Our staff have gotten so comfortable that they're really hitting it now…Our response time has been in the seconds, not in the minutes. And it's been fantastic for us.
James Perry
Chief of Police, West Georgia Technical College, GA

CENTEGIX meets the rapid communication needs of school leaders that include responding to crisis events and the emergencies that happen in schools. Our highest priority is keeping our Eagle students and staff safe, and this is another step in protecting and fortifying our schools.
Dr. Telena Wright
Former Superintendent, Argyle ISD, TX

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.
Joe Fasolino
Behavioral Health Operations Specialist, Vail Health Behavioral Health, CO

What we’ve really seen is the value in medical distress situations. A teacher can stay with a student, press the badge and get help to that classroom quickly.
Michael Garcia
Chief of Staff, Fontana Unified School District, CA

The goal is to immediately notify everyone on campus that the school is under a threat and follow safety protocols as soon as possible.
Steve Ptacek
Superintendent, Jacksonville School District 117, IL

That nurse wasn’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.
Michael Armantrout
Security Manager, Avita Health System, OH

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

Workplace safety [is the] number one issue not only for the schools but also throughout the nation, so this gives an extra level of security for our staff members.
Frank Stanage
Human Resources Director, Alamo Heights ISD, TX
