Where Centurion Fits in Education
According to the National School Safety Center, over the 5-year period 2002 to 2006, teachers were the victims of approximately 234,000 total crimes at school each year, including 144,000 thefts and 90,000 violent crimes. In education facilities, immediate communication is the key to a solid emergency response and security plan…the Centurion Wireless Security System is the answer. A co-worker, faculty or administrator's call for help is a race against time. Seconds can mean lives, a fact that makes the Centurion's superior transmitting speed not only impressive but critical.

Centurion
The Centurion Wireless Security System is the fastest wireless panic alarm system on the market, transmitting unique pinpointed messages without delay to faculty, staff and officers by way of two-way radios, pagers, phones, and email. The Centurion allows for two key things to take place:

1. Immediately alert teachers and school officials of what is happening, when, and where—as it is happening.
2. Simultaneously alert local law enforcement, campus police and SRO’s of the volatile situation without any dispatch delay via two-way radio or phone.

Here’s How It Works:
A location-specific voice message is recorded on the Centurion system. That message, which is triggered by a wireless duress button or other various sensors, is received by school staff and personnel by way of two-way radio, pager, phone (landline or mobile), and/or email in seconds. Staff members and school security officers know immediately where they're needed and how to react. At the same time, Centurion alerts law enforcement of the situation allowing them to respond without dispatch delay. Centurion tells what is happening, when, and where—as it is happening. It’s about time!
