ATLANTA, Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CENTEGIX, the industry leader and largest wearable safety technology provider for K-12 education, today released a new report on the impact of legislation requiring mobile panic buttons in Florida's K-12 schools. The report, Alyssa's Law: Making Florida Schools Safer, examines how Alyssa's Law and panic button technology are creating safer environments to learn and work.
Named in honor of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting victim Alyssa Alhadeff, Alyssa's Law requires public elementary and secondary schools to be equipped with "silent panic alarms directly linked to law enforcement." The purpose of this legislation is to decrease the time it takes for first responders to arrive at an emergency situation, whether it's a shooting, a natural disaster, or other incidents.
