How audio logging improves school safety

In emergencies, communication isn’t just talk, it’s evidence. School safety teams need more than just radios. They need a reliable way to capture, store, and verify every call and alert. Audio logging isn’t just for operations checks, it’s your record when miscommunication isn’t an option. Discover why clearer logs correlate to safer campuses: https://hubs.la/Q03z0f1m0

WP Davidson High School, one of the largest public schools in Mobile County, Alabama, had a problem. Built in the 1960s, the school needed a modern solution to unify its disparate systems and serve as a model for the rest of the district. Their solution? InformaCast! By using InformaCast as the core of their mass notification system, the school unified disparate technologies, creating a single, reliable alerting system. Watch below to hear from the school staff on how we’ve helped better protect their students and faculty and enhance its safety and communication capabilities.

"It's not a matter of if, but WHEN." That phrase always makes us think of emergencies. But what about communication for every day? The real value is in a platform that is powerful enough for a crisis, yet simple enough that it becomes essential for daily operations. W.P. Davidson High School is a great example of this. They use Singlewire to make mass communication easy for everything from weather alerts to regular bell schedules. From a partner perspective, that's the conversation to have. Moving from "emergency-only" to "everyday essential" is how you deliver incredible value. Is the conversation with your clients about a 'just-in-case' tool or a 'daily-use' platform? #MassNotification #EmergencyAlerts #SaaS #ChannelSales

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐎𝐓𝐀’𝐒 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒? Back in 2023, the BCA promised that by the end of 2024, every police department would have the new Intox DMT. It’s now September 2025—still nothing. No announcement. No rollout. No explanation. Meanwhile, these “new” devices were supposed to run on Windows 10 — an operating system that Microsoft is phasing out next month. Minnesota is about to deploy “new” machines already running on outdated software. Add to that Intoximeters’ long trail of problems: inaccurate information about minimum standards, a wasted 2018 purchase of thirty unusable machines, and failure to train new BCA scientists on how to even fix or maintain the devices. If this was supposed to be Minnesota’s “upgrade” in fairness and reliability, why hasn’t it happened? And how much longer will courts and defendants be stuck with the old system? 👉 Read the full breakdown here: https://lnkd.in/g7sPis-Y Next week: Part 2 — Why a wider breath tube may be a hidden admission that too many people were unfairly labeled as “refusals.”

🚨 Still using walkie-talkies on campus? You’re leaving gaps. Walkies, intercoms, and landlines might feel “good enough,” but when seconds matter, they can actually slow staff down and create blind spots in your safety plan. Take a look at this comparison 👇 — Vocera isn’t just another communication tool, it’s a purpose-built solution for schools: - Instant 1:1 or group communication - Private, secure conversations - Discreet emergency alerts - Staff location visibility - Direct integration with 9-1-1 and mass notifications Walkies can’t do that. Intercoms can’t do that. Panic buttons can’t do that. If your campus is still relying on radios, you’re settling for delays and missed connections — and in an emergency, that’s a risk you can’t afford. 👉 Curious how other schools are closing those gaps? Let’s talk. #SchoolSafety #K12Leadership #EdTech #CampusSafety #Communication

With multiple intercom systems across 15+ school buildings, Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation faced a maintenance nightmare… until they partnered with Fairchild Communication Systems to standardize with Bogen Quantum. Greg Ferguson, communications foreman for the district, says it is the Fairchild Communication Systems, Inc. team that really impresses him and affirms they made the right decision. “They are very quick to respond and have always treated us right and fair. Over the years, they have pulled us out of some tough situations.” Now, systems are easier to manage, more reliable, and can even be monitored remotely. Most importantly, communication is fast, clear, and consistent. Just what schools need in critical moments. #FairchildCommunications #communicationiskey #systemintegration #comprehensivesecurity #communicationsystem #lifesafetysystems #Protectyourworkplace
