Tech that helped get responders to Apalachee shooting | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Appalache High School’s recently installed Panic alarm system played a critical role during a shooting incident, credited with saving lives by immediately alerting police and triggering a lockdown. The panic buttons, worn by teachers around their necks, allowed for quick communication in an emergency. Within minutes, school resource officers confronted the shooter. The system, known as CICS, sent real-time alerts and coordinates to first responders, aiding their rapid response. Experts emphasize that while such technology enhances safety, it is part of a larger, complex strategy for school security, requiring trained law enforcement presence and a combination of safety measures.
FOX 5 is taking a closer look at the panic alarm system installed in Apalachee High School first responders have credited with saving lives during Wednesday’s tragic shooting. The panic buttons worn by teachers instantly alerted the police and the rest of the school that something was terribly wrong.
