Alyssa’s Law Passes in Washington: SB 5004

Passed in May 2025, Senate Bill 5004, also known as Alyssa’s Law, mandates that “school districts must work collaboratively with local law enforcement agencies, public safety answering points, and safety and security staff to develop an emergency response system using evolving technology to expedite the response and arrival of law enforcement in the event of a threat or emergency at a school.”

“Emergency response system” includes:

Panic or alert buttons linked to school administration, school district staff, and emergency response providers.
Live video feed with law enforcement, school district, and school access.
Remote control access to doors.
Live interactive two-way communications.
A system that complies with applicable state building code requirements for group occupancy for emergency response systems or systems developed as part of a safe school plan.

Washington school districts can comply with the requirements of SB 1004 with the CENTEGIX Safety Platform® featuring CrisisAlert™ wearable panic buttons and Safety Blueprint® digital mapping.

What our clients are saying

I had a student who was refusing to follow directions and became very defiant. This student was beginning to get aggressive. I used my badge to alert our campus security monitor to remove the student from the situation. It is a very useful tool when the response was as immediate as it was.

Clark County School District, NV

A student was having trouble breathing and her vision was beginning to black out. We don’t have service in our building and it can be difficult to get ahold of the office staff, so having something to immediately alert them of emergency was incredibly helpful in a very scary situation.

Elementary School Teacher

Clayton County Schools, GA

A student was having a severe panic attack, trouble speaking, crying, not able to answer my questions as to what was wrong with her. I used the device to call for administrative help and it worked like it was designed to. Help arrived in a matter of seconds. I saw firsthand how well it works.
