Violent occurrences at schools are unfortunately on the rise. To date, there have been an estimated 129 school shootings in the United States since 2010. With this number of active shooter incidents, many people are thinking of ways to avoid such tragedies in the future. A CRS Notify<\/a> holdup button for schools helps cut down on the response time. Holdup buttons can also contact a principal, fellow teachers or others during an emergency. A holdup button can also instantly contacts authorities when seconds matter the most.<\/p>\n

How Do Holdup Buttons Within Schools Contact a Principal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"Holdup buttons within schools vary in functionality. Organizations will often use their current burglar alarm company to provide them with a hard-wired holdup button. These hard-wired holdup button alarms are usually inexpensive. It is also easier to create an account since the alarm company is a current vendor.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, technology-driven holdup buttons from CRS Notify<\/a> systems give schools the ability to alert multiple responders with just a push of a button. These updated holdup buttons also give notifications that the alert was received by responders. There is no hardwiring involved and setup only takes a few minutes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why Use a Holdup Button to Contact a Principal During a Crisis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The idea behind having a holdup button for a school is to lower the time between the onset of an incident and when responders are on the scene. The goal is to notify responders rapidly. This allows for a quick de-escalation of any crisis, which lowers the opportunity of victimization. The large time delay of the traditional holdup buttons is the reason why these buttons are rapidly becoming discounted and ruled ineffective by responders.<\/p>\n

There are many\u00a0benefits tech-driven holdup buttons offers that other tools do not. Setting up holdup buttons in the common\u00a0areas of your school increases security. Also, this type of setup allows staff to easily access the holdup buttons in the event of an emergency. Quick access to these holdup buttons cuts response time down to mere seconds rather than several minutes. Responders<\/p>\n

\"\"also have the information provided by the alert system to handle the emergency more efficiently.<\/p>\n

Holdup buttons within schools are not very expensive\u00a0to install. Very little effort is needed to set up these programs, so daily activities are rarely disrupted. Technology-based holdup buttons are icons disguised in the tray icons or on the screensaver of your computer workstation. Equally, many holdup button providers offer optional hardware devices that can be easily hidden from a criminal during a volatile emergency situation.\u00a0Which in turn, also provides\u00a0the peace-of-mind needed to operate a safe school environment.<\/p>\n

When Choosing a Holdup Button System Consider the Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In conclusion, the holdup button systems of today are far more reliable than the old school duress buttons of yesterday. \u00a0New age software<\/a>\u00a0alerts systems are also far less expensive and easier to install. When choosing a holdup button for your facility, step into the 21st century. Leave the outdated holdup button systems in the past where they belong. Holdup button systems should be updated regularly to combat our country\u2019s growing statistics of crime. Don\u2019t be left behind in the technology revolution.<\/p>\n
