During the recent shooting incident at Apalachee High School, teachers were able to quickly call for help by utilizing panic alert buttons on their badges. This new technology had only been implemented a week prior to the tragic event, as reported by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
The badges worn by teachers at the school were equipped with panic alert buttons, allowing them to notify law enforcement of any dangerous situations. According to the Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith, the Centegix ID badges were instrumental in alerting authorities during the crisis.
