Schools' security cameras can also be looped in, Miller said, and the plan is to get Red Clay's integrated by next fall.Īll county-owned buildings are also equipped with the app at this point, and Miller said any organization or facility in New Castle County can request to be added to the program by or (302) 395-2700. The goal, Miller said, is to ensure emergency dispatchers and responders have the most information possible when responding to a potentially dangerous scene. It cost about $200,000, Miller said, not including annual licensing costs. "We're arming our teachers with technology."Ĭounty Executive Matt Meyer said if it was up to him, the Rave Panic Button app would be deployed statewide.Īs it is, the county purchased the technology about 18 months ago. "It's a much quicker way to get the word out," Miller said. They can also send out alerts to the rest of the building, advising teachers and students to either shelter in place or evacuate. If the call is disconnected or the person who hit the button can't safely talk, 911 dispatchers can use the app to send text messages. Other staff members would get an alert letting them know the panic button had been activated, while back at 911 headquarters, a profile of the school would pop up on the dispatcher's screen, complete with the building's address, integral employee contact information, blueprints and satellite imagery.
