Alyssa's Law

Alyssa Alhadeff was only 14 years old when she lost her life during the Parkland Shooting. Alyssa’s law is a legislation that addresses the issues of law enforcement communication and response time during any life-threatening emergency on school property.

Faster Emergency Response for Safer Schools

What is Alyssa's Law?

On February 14th, 2018, 17 students and staff were killed, and 17 others were critically injured at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The New York Times reported that poor communication, slow response time, and numerous other failures on behalf of law enforcement officers contributed to the devastating death toll.

The time that it takes for emergency personnel to get to the scene of an emergency can mean the difference between life and death. Alyssa’s Law proposes a set of regulations that significantly decrease the amount of time that it takes for law enforcement, EMS teams, and the fire department to respond to life-threatening emergencies on school property.

Florida School Compliance with Alyssa's Law

Alyssa’s law requires all public and charter schools to implement an advanced panic alarm system to allow law enforcement to react immediately in the event of a critical emergency. These solutions make it possible for officers to get to the scene quickly, take down the perpetrator, and minimize the number of lives lost.

How SaferWatch Helps Keep Schools Safe

SaferWatch equips schools with powerful emergency tools that meet Alyssa’s Law requirements. With a mobile panic button, instant law enforcement access, and advanced communication features, staff can act quickly and discreetly to protect students and save lives.

Mobile Panic Button

Florida schools must have a mobile panic button to comply with the regulations set forth by Alyssa’s Law. This panic button serves as a silent alarm system that is not audible from inside the school. School staff can access these tools quickly to notify law enforcement in the event of an emergency.

Direct Connection with Law Enforcement

Silent alarm systems must provide immediate access to law enforcement and emergency services dispatch. These tools must provide real-time and instant communication between school staff, law enforcement, and several other local and county first responders.

Advanced Security Systems

Installing a comprehensive, integrated security solution system is the best way to meet the requirements of Alyssa’s law. These solutions provide staff and administrators with instant access to first responders during any emergency situation.
