About this Webinar

West Virginia recently enacted Alyssa’s Law, permitting wearable panic alert devices in public schools across the state. Districts that move forward must adopt systems capable of integrating with local PSAPs to transmit 911 calls, mobile activations, and initiating campus-wide lockdown notifications. County boards shall also ensure critical security data, including school maps, is accessible to law enforcement.

In this webinar, product leaders from Raptor and Critical Response Group (CRG) demonstrate how Raptor Badge Alert meets the panic alert requirements, with CRG’s mapping seamlessly integrated into the platform. Viewers will learn how these tools work together to support timely, informed emergency response.

Key Takeaways

  • What the new law requires for West Virginia schools that choose to adopt panic alert systems.
  • See how Badge Alert delivers critical data to 911, provides multiple alerting options, triggers multi-channel campuswide notifications, and integrates mapping data from CRG.
  • Learn about the value of integrated emergency response solutions and how they help law enforcement respond faster and more effectively.
