CENTEGIX and SaferWatch: A New Era in Emergency Response
In a groundbreaking move to enhance safety protocols across the United States,
CENTEGIX, the largest provider of wearable safety technology, has announced a strategic partnership with
SaferWatch, a leading provider of safety and security applications. This collaboration aims to integrate their technologies to improve emergency response times for organizations, particularly in the education sector.
Transforming Emergency Communication
The integration centers around
CENTEGIX's CrisisAlert wearable panic buttons, which allow staff members to signal for help instantly and discreetly from any location on campus. This innovative solution is currently trusted by a significant number of major U.S. school districts and is expanding its reach into healthcare and government sectors.
SaferWatch, on the other hand, is known for its robust emergency communication platform that connects schools, municipalities, and public venues to law enforcement agencies. With services extending to over 6,000 locations, including partnerships with more than 200 emergency management agencies, the company is well-positioned to enhance security measures in various communities.
Key Benefits of the Partnership
The joint effort will streamline emergency response workflows significantly:
- - Immediate Notifications: Staff can initiate alerts with the CrisisAlert wearable button, triggering campus-wide notifications through visual (flashing strobes) and audio signals, ensuring everyone is aware of the situation.
- - Precise Mapping: Alerts sent to building administrators will show the exact location of the incident on a digital map, allowing response teams to act quickly and efficiently.
- - Real-time Communication with Law Enforcement: The system immediately notifies the SaferWatch Incident Management Platform, providing critical information to first responders, including exact location details.
Brent Cobb, CEO of CENTEGIX, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, "With SaferWatch, we compress emergency response time by delivering crucial emergency information directly to 911 centers, outlining who needs help and where assistance is required, down to room and floor level accuracy."
Impact on Education Institutions
The
Broward County School District in Florida, the state’s second-largest, is among the first to implement this integrated solution. Superintendent Howard Hepburn highlighted how this partnership aligns with
Alyssa's Law, enhancing the existing safety measures with real-time notifications that guide response strategies.
Geno Roefaro, CEO of SaferWatch, echoed this sentiment, stating, "Our collaboration with CENTEGIX allows us to offer the most comprehensive panic button emergency response solution available, bridging the gap between schools and law enforcement like never before."
Conclusion
As
CENTEGIX continues to lead in creating innovative safety solutions, and
SaferWatch strengthens its emergency communication capabilities, this partnership represents a significant step forward in safeguarding students, staff, and communities across the U.S. With a commitment to efficiency and rapid response, these companies are setting a new standard in emergency preparedness and response.
