WHAT ARE "SMART BADGES?"
A smart badge is a wearable ID-style device (often Bluetooth enabled) that goes beyond simple identification and can include the following: panic buttons, sensors, location, and communication features to improve safety, security, operations, and awareness.
Since Alyssa's Law came out in places like Texas, several companies have designed solutions that have panic buttons on then to help teachers and other users to have a way to let law enforcement know they need help and - more importantly - accurate location information that will help save lives when every second counts.
Here are some of the best solutions available today through Brookside as past of the perfect public safety ecosystem.
