The next thirty seconds

One press. Five things happen, quickly and in order.

  1. A school staff member with a Firefly device clipped to a lanyard with an ID badge.Step 01 · Alert
    Step 1. Alert

    The press becomes a signal.

    One tap on the wearable initiates an alert with a haptic confirmation on the device. The teacher knows it went through before they look down.
  2. Step 02 · Locate
    Step 2. Locate

    Down to the room, not the campus.

    Firefly resolves position to the building, floor, and classroom — using our proprietary mesh network. No external network required.
  3. A wall-mounted Firefly device with a glowing indicator on a dark panel, with a campus security responder approaching down a glass-enclosed corridor in soft focus.Step 03 · Verify
    Step 3. Verify

    Context, before chaos.

    The alert is enriched with the responder's last known position, the site's response plan, and the type of incident, before anyone is asked to make a decision.
  4. An empty, low-lit school hallway receding into the distance.Step 04 · Broadcast
    Step 4. Broadcast

    Direct to 911. And to the people inside.

    Firefly meets the Alyssa's Law requirement to alert law enforcement directly — and routes simultaneously to administrators, SROs, and on-site staff. It can also lock doors and broadcast over speakers.
  5. A school administrator in business attire with a lanyard ID badge walking past an institutional school administrative wing.Step 05 · Action
    Step 5. Action

    Hands free, eyes up.

    Staff move with a clear instruction set, a live operating picture, and a clean log. The person who pressed the button gets steady feedback the entire time.
One quick line

Curious how this would meet your state's requirements?

We will follow up with a brief, no-pressure walkthrough.

Compliance is the baseline. We do more after the button is pressed.

Firefly helps schools meet Alyssa's Law requirements in every applicable state and coordinate a faster, clearer response — not just a faster call.

Direct-to-911 is the floor. The internal response — locate, verify, route, and act — is what takes minutes off the gap between alert and arrival.
