Link didn't work for me. But I assume this is what the recent Apalachee HS shooting teachers have?

Yes, exactly.

APS is wasting money on cell phone pouches instead.

911 takes 2 seconds and we have phones in our rooms. You guys complain about wasting money and then just want to waste money a different way.

This calls 911, and it allows teachers to call while they are hiding or getting kids into a lockdown position, rather than the teacher needing to be at a classroom telephone.

I understand what it does. I am saying the perceived benefit of safety it provides is negligible. Safety theater. You can dial 911 and never even say anything and the police will come. It’s the difference of pushing one button or three, that’s it

It doesn’t call the Police. It calls the company. The company then calls the Police.
I would be curious how many times this button has been pressed in error. It works like an alarm system at your house or lifeline.

I think what they had in Georgia (if this is the same) also changed every classroom computer screen announce to lockdown. I think pressing a button is faster/safer than calling 911 and having to speak to an operator.

Goodness. So much agonizing, time and effort when what we should be doing it banning and confiscating guns.

911 gets the police to the building. This badge alerts law enforcement to where the active shooter is because teachers wear the badge with location based technology. The teacher pushes the button three times on their badge, which could be done even if they are sheltering/ don’t have access to the phone. This technology allows law enforcement to have a faster response instead of going into the building blind.

It’s called a layered approach, there is no one size fits all.

You have to press it three times in succession, it would be difficult to do that on accident.

You can’t call 911 if you are hiding/sheltering, injured, racing out to the hallway to protect children. You can more easily push the button on your badge you wear on a lanyard in any of those scenarios.
