What is Alyssa’s Law?
Alyssa’s Law, named after Alyssa Alhadeff who was massacred in the Parkland, Florida school shooting, is critical legislation that addresses the issue of law enforcement notification and response times when a life-threatening school emergency occurs, because “time equals life.”
The law calls for the installation of panic alarms in schools that are directly linked to law enforcement, so in any emergency, law enforcement will be notified faster and be on the scene as quickly as possible, take down the threat, and triage any victims. Reduced notification time + reduced response time = lives saved. When Seconds Save Lives®
We have relied on the powerful, proven effective and simplicity of SchoolGuard for the past several years. We highly recommend other school districts in Florida to implement the Guard911 serve as well.

How SchoolGuard Works
With a single touch of a smartphone screen, the mobile panic button app immediately and simultaneously:
- Speed-dials 911 for the “activator” to report the emergency.
- Sends a campus-wide alert to all users while activator waits to speak to 911.
- Alerts properties in a 5-mile radius. Organizations that are also protected with Guard911 are notified for situational awareness.
- Officers in the Hero911 network are instantly notified. This feature is exclusive to Guard911 panic button products.
For over three years, Bay County Schools have relied on safeguarding their school district with the SchoolGuard service offered by Guard911 and I remain a strong advocate to this service.
