Teachers and staff in @SCPSInfo are able to press a panic button via the app @RaveMSafety and through a security system called @MutualinkInc have emergency crews dispatched immediately. Spoke to @SeminoleSO about why the system works. @MyNews13
SANFORD -- After shootings like the one last month in Parkland, several school districts are taking a hard look at their security measures.
The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and school district feel a system they use called Mutualink is something that all schools districts across the state should implement.
Captain Rick Francis with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office did a test run of the system to show how it instantly connects various emergency response agencies with just the click of a panic button.
“More importantly, we know who is calling, we know what emergency they are declaring, and we know where they are,” said Capt. Francis.
When an emergency comes in, Mutualink allows for video, radio communication and GPS location to be shared with any agency Seminole County connects to access.
