Revolutionizing School Safety
Critica was founded in recognition that it is time to do something about school safety. The founders have been leaders and innovators in 911 data analytics and 911 telephony services for decades and have school aged children and grandchildren of our own.
We have talked for years about the value of Next Generation 911 (NG911) and the revolutionary change it would bring to public safety. But to what end? Most NG911 solutions are focused on modernizing the legacy systems that have been in place for the past 60 years.
That doesn’t seem very revolutionary. So we asked ourselves a simple question, “how can we use NG911 to revolutionize the safety of our schools?”
Critica is a fundamentally new approach to public safety awareness in schools. Automatic notification of 911 calls to the first responders who are closest to the call. As soon as the first call is made, not waiting for a teacher to push a panic button.
Seconds save lives in this game. Imagine having a two minute head start responding to an emergency, what would be different? Imagine knowing when and where every 911 call is made from your campus?
Critica does not replace the tools you have already. Instead, Critica revolutionizes those tools and enhances your awareness.
Awareness is security.
What are the benefits of Critica?
- Close the awareness gap.
No more finding out later. Onsite responders are notified of emergency events quickly and automatically. Know when emergency events happen in real-time.
- Save seconds, save lives.
Activate onsite responders immediately to ensure the fastest response to every emergency.
- Improve the safety of our schools and communities.
Awareness is security. By being aware you can engage more resources sooner.
- Revolutionary NG911 technologies.
Customized notifications that work. Advanced technologies ensure that notifications are not missed during the most important moments.
- Enable proactive public safety strategies
Data collected from NG911 systems is invaluable in creating a proactive approach to school safety and enabling strategies for continuous improvement.
