Carahsoft IACP Webinar 2023: Improving School Safety and Mental Health

SaferWatch and Carahsoft are excited to invite you to join us subsequent to IACP 2023 to explore how your team can innovate, adapt, and collaborate in service of your mission goals by utilizing emerging technologies. 

 

School violence and mental health issues have reached a crisis point in America.  Statistically, over 50 children will be the victims of gun violence at school, excluding mass shooting events. In 2021, more than 1 in 5 students seriously considered suicide and of those, 1 in 10 made an attempt. After action reports from school shootings show that in nearly every case, there are warning signs that if documented and acted upon, could prevent these tragedies. And in a crisis, faster response time is critical for limiting casualties. Many states have provided funding and passed legislation like “Alyssa’s Law” for silent panic alert systems with direct integration to Law Enforcement. But this legislation fails to address the predictive events and it is left for the schools and local law enforcement to choose and deploy solutions that ensure student safety.

 

Schools need more than a silent panic alarm. They require a communication and safety platform that connects directly with onsite resources and law enforcement, and provides parents, students, and staff with the tools to stop tragedies BEFORE they happen.

 

Register now to learn how SaferWatch's "all-in-one" solution leverages common technology like cell phones, tablets, computers, and smart boards to improve school safety, enhance mental health, and meet legislative requirements.
