Your Safety Partner When Every Second Matters™
If you’re a modern higher education institution, you know you can’t stand still—you’re constantly evolving to better serve your faculty and students. Whether you’re expanding your campus, improving your facilities, or adding to your offerings, colleges and universities must prioritize campus safety and security at every level—and you need campus safety solutions that can help you do it.
Educators across the country rely on us to help them meet their unique campus safety needs while protecting their communities. The CENTEGIX Safety Platform™ is the foundation of your layered campus safety plan, empowering the fastest response to emergencies. Because every second matters.™
Here recently, we’re averaging probably two students a week that are having medical issues and we’ve had to call ambulances in. Our staff have gotten so comfortable that they’re really hitting it now…Our response time has been in the seconds, not in the minutes. And it’s been fantastic for us.
Unique Campus Challenges of Higher Education
Campus environments present their own unique challenges.
Expansive Campuses and Multiple Buildings
Colleges and universities can have campuses ranging from multiple buildings to multiple acres, making it a challenge to monitor all areas at the same time. When you lack that visibility, emergency response times can increase, putting lives at risk.
Communication Gaps
In an emergency, getting help to the scene quickly is the most important factor. Buildings on college campuses can sometimes present unique challenges to communication—such as lead ceilings or basement labs and facilities. You need a solution that can work anywhere on campus and eliminate those gaps left by other solutions.
Vulnerable Areas
Higher ed campuses contain many areas that are more vulnerable to safety incidents, such as parking lots, dormitories, science labs, libraries, and isolated walkways. You need a safety solution that protects those vulnerable areas.
High Foot Traffic and Events
Prospective student tours, sporting events, lectures, and many other activities can bring a number of familiar and unfamiliar people to your grounds, creating an additional challenge to keeping your campus safe and secure.

CENTEGIX CrisisAlert™ for Higher Education
It’s peace of mind at the push of a button. Promote campus safety with CrisisAlert, the wearable panic button for colleges and universities that empowers faculty and staff to get help anywhere on campus instantly. With single-button activation, help is on the way when and where they need it.
Why CrisisAlert is the Best Campus Solution
Immediate notification
With a push of a button, the safety alert instantly reaches administrators and responders, displaying a map of who needs help and where they are located. Security teams can monitor alerts in real time, enabling an accelerated response and support. No delay, no valuable seconds lost.
Total campus coverage
Our private, managed network secures every square foot of your campus–the CrisisAlert badge functions everywhere. So whether your campus spans seven buildings, seven acres, or seven counties–your request for help instantly reaches responders. No Wi-Fi or cell signal is needed.
Real-time location accuracy
Our innovative technology provides precise location details, down to an individual floor and room, so first responders know exactly where their help is needed. Regardless of your campus’ size, help gets the right location quickly.
Discreet, one-button activation
The CrisisAlert wearable badge has a single button, enabling discreet, quick human action in emergencies. No need to draw extra attention to the situation—simply push the button and help is on the way.
Improves communication and eliminates gaps
Administrators can quickly manage and monitor an emergency event as it’s unfolding through the CrisisAlert Responder App. The wearable panic button facilitates direct communication between first responders and the person that needs help. It bridges communication gaps left by other solutions, allowing every request for help to get delivered.
Audio and visual notifications
Campus-wide alerts communicate emergency information using colored strobe lights, desktop alerts, and intercom and mass communication integrations so everyone can get to safety as soon as possible. With just a single notification, an entire campus can go into lockdown in an instant.
Peace of mind through 100% coverage
The CrisisAlert wearable badge alleviates concerns often raised about app-based safety solutions. It also offers unique features other wearable providers can’t deliver, like precise location information and full-campus coverage. All faculty and staff have a badge, allowing for 100% user coverage and peace of mind campus-wide.

CENTEGIX Safety Blueprint™ for Higher Education
Digital maps of your campus—including buildings and assets—are a critical part of your campus safety plan. Our dynamic digital mapping solution, Safety Blueprint, ensures help arrives at the precise location on your campus and can access the appropriate safety assets quickly.
Update, Layer, and Share Digital Campus Maps Across Departments
Use dynamic mapping capabilities to improve safety planning, incident response, situational awareness, and communication. Easy to edit and update, IT, Facilities, and Safety/Security teams can define and customize map layers while collaborating across departments and with first responders such as law enforcement, fire departments, and local PSAPs.
Safety Asset Management Taken to the Next Level
Visualize all of the data relevant to your safety assets and planning from one source. Run inventory counts, review inspection dates, define construction zones, mark hazardous materials and chemicals, and plan efficient routes—based on the precise physical location of assets—to address any maintenance required or safety concerns.
Precision Location of Critical Safety Assets, Visually Mapped and Response-Ready
An emergency response often relies on critical safety assets. Knowing the precise GPS/GIS location of your assets, that they’ve been properly maintained, and that they are fully functional is vital to managing through the crisis. Safety Blueprint eliminates your reliance on disparate spreadsheets and questionable version control.
The system has a very sophisticated mapping feature that allows responders to see exactly which room or hallway the emergency is coming from and from whom. In the event of a real active shooter, we could share this information with outside police agencies who may be coming to aid us.
CENTEGIX Enhanced Visitor Management for Higher Education
Whether you’re expanding your campus, upgrading your facilities or anything in between, you need a way to keep track of independent contractors, vendors, and any other temporary guest that has access to restricted areas. CENTEGIX Enhanced Visitor Management system keeps track of these visitors while they’re on your campus and can locate them during their stay. Plus much more.
Locate contractors in real time and record acitivites
See your contractors’ precise real-time location displayed on the campus map. Log arrival, departure, and location to hold them accountable for their time on campus.
Promote campus safety and security
