SAS Halo School Safety

 

The 911 HALO platform, powered by 911informTM offers a comprehensive notification and security management system designed to enhance safety and compliance across school campuses. Key features include:

Concealed Threat Detection

The Syght system detects and identifies the threat and the 911 Halo alerts district personnel and first responders to threats before the perpetrator is aware of detection, providing early intervention decision support.

Be the First to Know

The 911 HALO platform delivers immediate communication for 911 emergencies to the PSAP, school-requested Police Mobile Data Terminals, and the school and district officials listed in your School Security Plan. It connects precise caller location identification to building controls for existing door locks and surveillance systems, providing instant notifications when a 911 request is made.

911 HALO pinpoints an emergency’s geographical location while concurrently notifying local authorities and on-site school personnel. It offers instant access to the caller’s detailed area map and your school’s floor plan, directing first responders to the nearest parking entrance to the emergency.

In the Moment Communications Saves Time

911 HALO provides Real-Time Situational Awareness with two-way communication between first responders and school officials across multiple platforms without requiring a mobile app. The connected building platform enables emergency response teams to manage crises effectively by offering bi-directional communication and controls, ensuring total situational awareness and in-the-moment communication.

Instantly Controls the Building’s Security Systems

During an emergency, first responders can instantly control building security systems, cameras, telephones, doors, lights, strobes, and other systems. They gain access to building or room intercoms, monitoring, and paging for wide-area communication. Responders can text essential on-site personnel from their vehicle or mobile device, receiving real-time notifications via text, desktop, and mobile application.

Security Practices

Compliance

Kari's Law

  • The system must allow direct access to 911 without any access codes.
  • The system must provide on-site notification that the call has occurred and from what station.

RAY BAUM’S Act

• Any call to 9-1-1 must deliver a dispatchable location to the PSAP/ECC (Public Safety Answering Point/Emergency Communications Center).
• Any call to 9-1-1 must deliver a dispatchable location to on-site personnel.

Alyssa’s Law

• All public elementary and secondary schools must install either panic alarms or alternative emergency mechanisms approved by The Department of Education.
• As of July 7, 2024, these states have adopted Alyssa’s Law:
• New Jersey (February 6, 2019)
• Florida (June 30, 2020)
• New York (June 23, 2022)
• Texas (May 5, 2023)
• Tennessee (May 10, 2023)
• Utah (April 10, 2024)
• Oklahoma (May 14, 2024)

Compliance with the Law

New Federal 911 calling laws require public and private sector organizations to furnish an internally provided Dispatchable Location to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) when a 911 call is placed.

Relaying a general street address is no longer adequate. Information that includes the building floor and room or other relevant location information must be provided to assist first responders. Using IP-PBX Multi-Line Telephone Systems, GPS, geo-mapping, and geo-fencing technology, powerful location discovery and notification capabilities identify a 911 caller’s location anywhere in your building or campus.

911 HALO supports 911 calling compliance with Kari’s Law & RAY BAUM’s ACT and supports the emerging Alyssa’s Law.
