Centegix Staff Badges

At Ferguson-Florissant School District, the safety and security of our students and staff is a top priority. That is why FFSD continues to invest in new technology and security measures that enhance safety across the district, including the new CrisisAlert staff badges through Centegix.

How does it work?

The CrisisAlert badges serve as a silent panic alert system. Teachers and staff will be able to call for help with the push of a button on the badge they wear daily.

When an alert is activated by pushing the button on the badge, administrators and local police can see who pushed the button and the location so they can send immediate help.

There are two types of alerts staff can initiate.

• Staff Alert: Three clicks of the badge initiates a Staff Alert. This is an individual call for help that might include medical emergencies or the immediate need for administrators or emergency personnel.

• Campuswide Alert: Multiple and continuous clicks of the badge initiates a campus Active Intruder Lockdown. Through this new safety feature, our campuses and buildings are now equipped with strobe lights that flash and an intercom announcement that lets our students and staff know that an active intruder is in the building.
