Following a recent shooting incident at Apalachee High School, Georgia law enforcement was promptly notified thanks to a new safety measure put in place just a week prior. Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith revealed that all teachers at the school are equipped with a specialized ID system known as Centegix.
Centegix functions by allowing individuals to press a button on their ID, which then triggers an alert to law enforcement indicating an active emergency situation at the school. Sheriff Smith emphasized the effectiveness of this system, stating that it had been operational at the school for approximately a week.
