The CENTEGIX Story You Won’t Hear on the News
When thinking about school safety, active shooter scenarios are always the headline. But what many don’t realize is that CENTEGIX CrisisAlert is used daily—not just for worst-case scenarios, but for everyday emergencies that demand an immediate response. Did you know that nearly 70% of school nurses report handling a life-threatening emergency every school year? When seconds matter, immediate response is critical.
The Numbers Don't Lie
CENTEGIX is deployed in over 12,000 locations, and more than 90% of activations are for daily incidents, not active shooters:
- Medical emergencies – A student collapses in the hallway.
- Behavioral crises – A teacher needs urgent assistance.
- Physical altercations – A fight breaks out.
- Elopement — a student leaves campus unnoticed.

Why Traditional Safety Tools Fail
It’s no surprise that states are mandating wearable safety systems. Many schools rely on mobile apps or wall-mounted panic buttons—but these have serious flaws:
- Cell service dead zones make apps unreliable.
- Finding and unlocking a phone app takes too long.
- Wall buttons aren’t always accessible—or safe to reach.
- Teachers are reluctant to use personal devices due to privacy concerns.
CENTEGIX: Safety That Works in Seconds
CENTEGIX eliminates these risks with a wearable badge that works anywhere—no Wi-Fi or cell service needed.
- Three clicks activate a staff alert (used 2x per week per school on average!)
- Continuous clicks trigger a school-wide lockdown, instantly alerting staff, flashing strobes, and integrating with 911 dispatch.
- Precise location tracking (within 20-30 feet) ensures responders reach the right place fast.
The Future of School Safety
The question isn’t whether your school will need this system. The question is: Will you have it when the moment arrives? With a simple installation process and visitor management included, Centegix is the obvious choice.
Because emergencies don’t wait.
