A report on the effect of safety tools in K-12 schools across the country was released and highlighted the benefits of wearable panic button solutions. The School Safety Trends Report: Fall 2022 analyzed over 50,000 incidents gathered from CENTEGIX's CrisisAlert usage data for the Fall 2022 semester, along with survey data from 1,200 educators and staff who have used the platform to call for help.
According to the survey results, access to a safety solution that offers campus-wide coverage with precise location indication was highly effective in protecting staff and students. This correlates with the usage data that showed 47% of incidents reported in the fall of 2022 occurred outside the classroom.
