Panic Buttons for Schools
Be ready when every second counts.
In an emergency situation, every second counts. That’s why Navigate360 has partnered with 911Cellular to deliver a comprehensive panic alert system—with integrated panic buttons—that enables real-time communication with first responders. Whether it’s a medical emergency, safety threat, or critical incident, our platform empowers teachers and staff to respond immediately and discreetly.
With flexible deployment options and comprehensive alerting capabilities, this is more than just a panic button—it’s a critical component of your district’s emergency response and school safety plan, helping ensure compliance with Alyssa’s Law and similar legislation.
Instantly Connect to 911 Dispatch
Traditional 911 calls can take precious minutes. Navigate360’s integrated panic alert technology cuts through delays with direct, silent connections to emergency services.
- No routing delays – alerts go straight to 911 and internal security teams
- Silent or audible alert options depending on your configuration
- Visual & audible building-wide notifications keep all staff informed no matter their location
Compliant with Alyssa's Law
A growing number of states now require panic buttons in schools through Alyssa’s Law, which mandates direct communication with law enforcement in a crisis.
Navigate360’s integration with 911Cellular Technologies provides:
- Compliance with Alyssa’s Law requirements
- A silent panic alarm system that communicates with 911 instantly
- Certified technology built to meet rigorous legislative standards
Flexible Options
Our panic button solution is built for the way schools actually operate. Whether at a desk, in a classroom, or walking the halls, users can initiate an alert through:
- Cell phones, tablets, smartwatches – ideal for mobile staff
- Computer/desktop apps – front office & admin use
- Wearable panic buttons – perfect for roaming staff, hallway monitors
- Wall-mounted panic alarms – great for classrooms and shared spaces
NIST Tested

- Supports both indoor and outdoor tracking for full campus visibility
This ensures responders know exactly where help is needed—even if there is an inability to verbally communicate.
Preferred Panic Button Solution
911Cellular was rated the #1 panic button vendor by the Florida Department of Education Selection Committee.

Once triggered, our system delivers instant schoolwide alerts via audio, visual, text, email, and screen overrides—a level of communication unmatched by other providers.
