Campus Security

Student enrollment in community colleges has grown dramatically in the past decade.  Your campus security teams face many of the same issues as their counterparts in four-year schools, but you also have extra challenges.

Community college students are transient and fluid because they don't live on campus.  They represent a larger, more diverse cross-section of society in comparison to four-year college students.  Community colleges are also an open campus environment.

In addition to mass notification systems for emergencies, you need a solution that ensures the safety of your employees and students for different levels of urgency.  All your faculty and staff must be able to take control of their safety, and the safety of those around them, to prevent dangerous and threatening situations, such as:

• Disruptive, threatening students in classrooms
• Hostile students in faculty and administrative offices
• Harassing students in libraries and public places on campus
• Distraught students in counseling and health centers

Don't limit control of personal safety to a chosen few!  Install ePanic Button in every classroom, administrative office, library, receptionist's desk - all areas for all public-facing employees - to ensure complete coverage for anyone who needs to request support and security.

ePanic Button Benefits Community Colleges

ePanic Button is a simple yet flexible, versatile and powerful PC-based distributed alert system.  With just the click of a mouse, keystroke or foot pedal, your employees can send and receive customized alert messages peer-to-peer via pop up window, email, and text on mobile devices.

You configure your own buttons, messages and receiver groups according to your needs and requirements.  Your messages can simply request support for a lone worker, or alert staff to contact 911.  Everyone will feel safer and be better protected:

• Empowers your employees to quickly take control of uncomfortable or emergency situations
• Gives you the ability to rapidly, discretely, and easily request support and security
• Enables technical and non-technical employees to customize and use the system intuitively and quickly
• Accelerates the speed with which help and security reach your people
• Distributes security notifications to everyone who needs them, including roaming security personnel, and off-site or traveling employees with email and text messages
