HOUSTON, Feb. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Florida Department of Education has named Raptor Technologies , the nations leading provider of integrated school safety software, as an approved partner for Floridas Alyssas Law mandate. This announcement follows the somber third anniversary of the tragic event at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that was the impetus for Alyssas Law.

Raptor Alert helps schools quickly and easily comply with the new legislation calling for silent panic alarms linked to law enforcement and first responder services.

We’re honored that 73% of Florida districts, totaling over 2,500 schools, already trust Raptor to keep their schools, students and staff safe.
