Imagine you’re a teacher and a student has a seizure, or you notice an unauthorized visitor in the building or a student reveals a gun and suddenly there’s a threat of an active shooter. It’s a sobering reality for way too many teachers and college professors in the United States.
Teachers have a sacred responsibility to safeguard their students from any harm that may come their way, whether it be a medical emergency, an unauthorized visitor freely roaming the halls of the school, or another student that has brought a gun to school. These are all scenarios that, unfortunately, teachers across the United States face daily.
There are 55 million K-12 students in the United States and more than 15 million college students, and in 2024 alone, there were more than 80 school shootings at K-12 schools and colleges, which resulted in 38 deaths and more than 100 injured victims. More than half a million children require transport to an emergency room during the school day each year, and roughly 10% of high school students report having been in physical altercations on school grounds.
The bottom line is the need for effective, technology-driven communication and emergency response solutions are paramount in our schools today.
True Guardian is poised to meet this need by reducing response times and integrating with existing security measures, enhancing overall safety and ultimately saving lives.
True Guardian is any teacher’s trusty, easy-to-use and effective emergency response device.
Traditional communication systems are outdated and slow, lacking integration with modern security technologies like video surveillance and emergency alerts.
As a result of inefficient or fractured communication, response time during emergencies is often too slow. In the event of a medical emergency or a school shooting, every second counts, making rapid response systems essential. The difference between a timely response and a delayed one can be lifesaving.
The stress and fear associated with an emergency can impair the ability of staff and students to respond effectively. Comprehensive training and easy-to-use systems are essential to ensure that responses are swift and calm.
Investing in solutions like True Guardian has become a moral imperative. The safety of our children, educators, patients and healthcare providers is paramount, and through the adoption of innovative technologies, we can create safer spaces. True Guardian is not just beneficial for teachers, but essential.
