Texas school district in Argyle implements district-wide communications system

March 18, 2021

Argyle Independent School District is located in Argyle, Texas, and serves more than 3,600 students and 450 faculty and staff across its five campuses. The school district was looking to implement an emergency communications system across the district for everyday alerts, as well as emergencies, threats or weather events.

Partnering with FiveStones Safety, the school district chose to implement the CENTEGIX CrisisAlert solution.

In the event of a school emergency, the solution connects communications across the district, to local law enforcement and provides first responders with precise location information enabling them to respond faster in any situation. The incident alerting solution features activation via a CrisisAlert badge and covers 100% of the district's campus.

"This product provides us the ability to enhance the communication in an emergency response. This will allow our Argyle ISD police department a faster response time by pinpointing the nature of the emergency," said Argyle ISD Chief of Police, Paul Cairney. "It also continues to show our community the commitment to safety and protecting our campuses."

In this webinar, we are going to explore all the different cloud models used in video surveillance and cloud access control solutions. We will also discuss the rising trend of “Security as a service” and how this can impact the future of security buying, maintenance, and relationships between security providers and clients.

With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the cyber security practices are increasingly getting integrated with the physical security practices.
