Accelerate Emergency Response
Schools are enhancing coordination with first responders
Real-time coordination between schools and law enforcement is essenital during emergencies. Clear communication and defined escalation paths are non-negotiable—these are the factors that drive better outcomes for everyone involved. Verkada makes this possible by providing seamless access to critical information through live camera feeds, floor plans, and voice communication. This gives local officers, whether onsite or through dispatch, real-time intelligence that powers an effective and immediate response.
With Verkada’s software, schools can grant local onsite officers or police departments direct access to cameras and floor plans, or stream footage directly to their cruisers or mobile command centers via Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). By sharing live school activity through SMS or direct links, dispatchers and first responders can rapidly assess threats, coordinate movements, and respond with unmatched speed and precision.
NEWCOM is fully committed to ensuring the safety of students and the entire educational community. We work with school districts to design, implement, and install Verkada’s advanced technology solutions, creating an environment where safety is proactive, not reactive. This collaboration empowers law enforcement and school officials with the tools they need to respond effectively, improving security and peace of mind for all.
