In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch, VP of Public Safety at 911inform, explores how Next Generation 911 (NG911) technology is revolutionizing school safety.

Learn how NG911 integrates modern communication tools directly into emergency response systems, enabling:

• Instant Alerts: Teachers can activate panic buttons—either physical devices or mobile apps—to immediately notify 911 dispatchers of potential threats.
• Real-Time Data Sharing: Upon activation, these systems provide dispatchers with precise location information, live video feeds, and critical text alerts to both emergency personnel and school administrators.

Discover real-world applications, such as the recent incident at Apalachee High School in Georgia, where teachers utilized wearable panic buttons to swiftly alert law enforcement, facilitating a rapid response that likely prevented further casualties.

Explore how NG911 systems integrate with various safety technologies, including access control systems for building lockdowns, mass notification platforms for campus-wide alerts, and gunshot detection systems to enhance preparedness and response capabilities.

By embracing NG911 technology, educational institutions are taking significant strides toward ensuring the well-being of their communities, bridging the gap between educators and emergency responders.
