There is a reason why we use our key fobs to lock our cars. We hear the beep that tells us the security system has been activated. We know, or hope, that if someone tries to vandalize or break into our cars, the alarm will sound, we'll be alerted, and it will stop the intruder in their tracks. 

While a security alarm system for schools offers more robust protection, it works along the same lines—letting authorities know that someone with ill will is attempting to enter and allowing them to do something about it before the unthinkable occurs. 

Let's explore these systems and why they are vital to your school in Katy, TX. 

These are troubled times, and keeping students and staff safe is an ongoing challenge. The news is filled with examples that reinforce the urgent need for K12 mass notification systems. Relaying information to everyone is critical in emergency situations. You do not want gaps in communications causing confusion, disseminating misinformation, or making the situation worse. 

Our professionally designed and implemented systems give you the power to inform teachers, students, administrators, parents, and first responders when an incident occurs. Whether it’s a weather report or the threat of violence is at hand, you can generate segmented messages that instruct those on an affected campus, parents, media, and the police response from inside a building or in a remote office.
