During times of school emergencies, from medical issues to serious threats, seconds truly make a difference. Getting the right information to the right person at the school and to public safety as quickly as possible is critical to minimize the negative effects of emergencies, including the potential for saving the lives of our most vulnerable.
The State of Texas introduced HB 3: Relating to the development of, implementation of, and funding for public school safety and security requirements.

Why is School Safety Important?
School safety is crucial for the well-being and success of students, staff, and the entire school community. It is essential that schools take proactive measures to create a safe and secure learning environment.

Encourage Learning
When students feel unsafe at school, they may not be able to focus on their studies, which can impact their academic performance and long-term success.
-
Protection from Harm
Whether it be physical, emotional, or mental harm, students want to be protected while attending school, whether it be bullying, harassment, violence, and accidents.
-
Positive School Culture
Students will feel more comfortable approaching teachers, students, and staff for help as well as participate in extracurricular activities.

GeoComm’s School Safety Solution
GeoComm’s School Safety Solution nearly instantaneously links a 9-1-1 call or the press of a panic button to designated school personnel (e.g., SRO) and law enforcement, displays the caller’s location on a detailed indoor map and alerts others to the incident. This solution is a game-changer. Built using powerful GIS technology from Esri, GeoComm’s School Safety Solution serves as the foundation for additional system integrations such as access control, cameras, gun detection and pre-plan and training applications.
In addition, the indoor maps can be provisioned into public safety applications, resulting in greater interoperability. The indoor map acts as the hub, integrating capabilities which can have a significant effect on reducing response times and improving situational awareness.
