ALYSSA,S LAW KEEPING OUR CHILDREN SAFE AT SCHOOL
Named after Alyssa Alhadeff, a 14-year-old girl that tragically died in the Parkland shooting, Alyssa’s Law requires schools to have silent panic alarms installed and linked to law enforcement. This legislation addresses the issue of response time in emergencies. Alyssa’s Law already passed in Florida and New Jersey, with federal legislation working its way through.

What you should know about Alyssa's Law
Going Beyond Compliance
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, only 27 percent of schools reported using silent panic alarms connected to local law enforcement. Student safety should be a priority aside from state or federal compliance, but often school funding can present a problem.
Many cloud-based solutions offered today are associated with high monthly usage and licensing fees. There are ways to eliminate those fees and save on additional IT resources by implementing a built-to-own system. Besides, for a cloud solution to work, all the elements must perfectly align starting with a compatible device, updated operating system, battery level, unit readiness, Wi-Fi, and cellular network accessibility/availability. There are too many risks. After all, is it a good idea to place a life-safety panic alarm on a mobile device that is unsupervised?
On the other hand, providing staff, a physical, institutional-grade bi-directional panic button can be essential for the safety of all stakeholders.
SECURalert™ brings more than 27 years of experience deploying wireless panic buttons. That experience has shown that 78% of events occurring in a school do NOT require first responders. A fight in a classroom or a student having an epilepsy episode needs immediate attention from local stakeholders and therefore they should be notified first and respond based on local protocols and procedures.

What Are The Typical Worst-Case And Best-Case Reporting Times Given The Environment?
On average, 2-3 seconds, with the longest being 5.8 seconds
How Is The Panic Button Device Worn And Is It Easily Accessible By The Employee When In Distress?
The transmitter can be worn on a lanyard and clipped with a carabiner on clothing. We also have holsters to be used with a belt. Our transmitters are uniquely designed by safety professionals and can be triggered with single-hand operation. The recessed button ensures that no false alarm is generated
How Is The Panic Button Activated?
There are two buttons on our transmitters. The first button is used for triggering the need for assistance and the second is a test button. SECURalert™ transmitter devices are equipped with a self-test button, allowing the user to test the device anywhere, anytime without the need to call the duty office to confirm the test. Most schools include a self-test be made prior to each day and reports can be generated for compliance. SECURalert™’s wireless duress system provides positive feedback to the user for both self-test and personal alarms. The device vibrates and flashes a green LED to indicate to the user it has successfully transmitted an alarm. The panic button device also indicates directly to the user when the battery is low by flashing a red LED. SECURalert™ transmitter devices are smaller and rechargeable, therefore there is no requirement to stock or replace batteries. The transmitter will last 30 days on a single charge (4-hour charge if fully depleted). MOST IMPORTANTLY THE SAME TRANSMITTER WORKS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE FACILITY
Does The Panic Button Device Sound A Local Audible Alarm When Activated?
There are over 30 different patterns and behaviors that can be programmed centrally for each unique transmitter or as a group. MOST IMPORTANTLY, our transmitters are addressable and bidirectional, meaning that not only will they transmit the need for assistance with the name/ID of the person and their exact location but the central controller will send an acknowledgment back to the transmitter confirming that the alarm has been received and notify the person in distress by vibrating the transmitter. The LED light on the transmitter will also follow a different pattern depending on the status (low battery, in alarm, test confirmed, etc.). Audible can also be programmed or muted. The transmitter can also, be equipped with fall-down detection
