Colchester Public School District Emergency Communication Case Study

This case study examines how Colchester Public School District in Connecticut implemented Raptor Team Assist to enhance their emergency communication systems. The district serves 2,185 students across four buildings and faced challenges such as a lack of real-time communication among staff during localized incidents, which led to slow responses. The previous system did not allow for effective tracking of incident responses, resulting in limited visibility into ongoing situations. Raptor Team Assist provides configurable alert types for various incidents and enables staff to communicate through group messaging. This feature allows for better documentation of incidents and improves the efficiency of localized responses by ensuring that the appropriate personnel are notified quickly. The case study highlights specific use cases where Team Assist has facilitated timely responses to emergencies, demonstrating the importance of strong communication methods in school safety.
