When something goes wrong on a campus, the clock that matters isn't the one on the wall. It's the gap between the moment someone dials 911 and the moment a first responder is standing at the right door. That gap is usually measured in minutes — and most of it is spent figuring out where the call came from, who's already on scene, and how to get in.
Here's the frustrating part: most schools already own the technology to close that gap. Cameras, access control, PA systems, mass notification, phone systems. They just don't talk to each other.
On Wednesday, August 19 at 12:00 PM Central, AEPA and SAS HALO are hosting a free live webinar on how districts are connecting those systems into one platform — and what that does to response times.
What the session covers
- Instant 911 notification anywhere on campus — including athletic fields, parking lots, and outbuildings, not just the areas covered by a desk phone
- Caller ID and precise location delivered to dispatch automatically, so no one has to describe where they are
- Real-time communication between the campus, dispatch, and responding agencies while the incident is still unfolding
- Secure mobile access for responders — doors, live camera feeds, floor plans, and PA control available before they enter the building
- More value from safety technology you've already paid for, rather than another standalone system to buy and maintain
- Coordination across every party involved — staff, dispatch, law enforcement, fire, and EMS working from the same picture
Who's presenting
- Thomas Lapping — Chief Executive Officer, SAS HALO
- Cody GrandPre — National Account Manager, 911Inform
- Cara Hart — Cooperative Purchasing Manager, AEPA
