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 or staff member 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 — not the campus or the district — 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

    The right people, not all of them.

    Firefly routes the message to the right responders by site, by time of day, by incident type. It can also lock doors, broadcast over speakers, and send alerts to administrators, SROs, and 911.
  5. A school staff member with a lanyard ID badge walking with calm purpose down a school hallway lined with lockers.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 teacher who pressed the button gets steady feedback through the entire response.
One quick line

Curious how this would route on your campus?

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

A school panic button should do more than trigger an alert.

It should help staff locate, verify, and coordinate a response immediately — before outside help arrives.

Firefly is built for K–12 districts and higher ed campuses, with the orchestration to fit different sites, different times of day, and different kinds of incidents.

What happens next is Firefly.

Firefly is designed for the realities of campus safety. Staff in classrooms, district leadership in another building, response plans that change between the school day and after-hours.
  1. 01

    Campus, building, classroom

    Resolves to the room, not the campus, so responders go to the right door, not the right address.

  2. 02

    District-wide orchestration

    One platform across every school. Each site keeps its own plan, district keeps the bigger picture.

  3. 03

    Different workflows by site and time

    School day, after-hours, weekend events. Different responders, different routing, same button.

  4. 04

    Internal coordination first

    The first move is internal. Lock doors, alert staff, brief responders. Outside help arrives into a managed scene.

The Firefly difference

The button is the input.
The response is our product.

Most systems escalate everything the same way. Firefly does not. It can route by school, time of day, incident type, and response plan, with clear feedback to the staff member who pressed the button and a much cleaner path for the people responding.

Make safety your advantage

The first seconds
