Alyssa's Law Nebraska

Reducing Law Enforcement Response Time

Alyssa’s Law addresses the issue of law enforcement response time when a life-threatening emergency occurs. The law calls for the installation of warning lights and a panic alarm in  schools to provide the fastest possible support during a code red. In a code-red red, every second counts.  Alyssa's Law has now been passed in the state of New Jersey, and a bill has been filed in the state of Florida.  Petitions have been started to ensure the Alyssa Law gets passed at the national level.  

The Alyssa Law was named after 14 year old Alyssa Alhadeff, who lost her life in the Stoneman Douglas School shooting. An investigation of the tragedy found that insufficient response time was found to be a contributing factor in the loss of life.  The Alyssa Law would require all public elementary and secondary schools to install either silent panic alarms or alternative emergency mechanisms approved by the Department of Education. To learn more about Alyssa's Law and the organization behind it, visit the Make Our Schools Safe website.

ASR and Alyssa's Law Nebraska

Mass Notification Instantly

ASR Alert Systems is a state-of-the-art critical incident response technology specializing in the field of threat alert notifications to local Law Enforcement and First Responders in the event of a crisis. The threat notification capabilities include Active Shooter/Assailant, Medical and Severe Weather. Our team of professionals has diverse experience in Security, Law Enforcement and Special Operations Military. ASR has melded these capabilities for use in both the public and private sectors.

          Quotation Open  ASR’s President, Hector Delgado, says, “Our system empowers students, faculty, and staff to notify local first responders, 911 dispatch, and all personnel within their facility in an active shooter/assailant situation with the simple push of a button. The notification pinpoints and provides the exact location of the threat. This not only helps police respond immediately with accurate information, but it also helps our students, faculty, and staff know where the threat is located so they can run away from the threat, not towards it. There is no question that the ASR Alert System can make a difference, we truly believe that saving time saves lives!”
