Enhancing School Safety with Rapid Emergency Response

Alyssa’s Law mandates that all public elementary and secondary schools be equipped with silent panic alarms directly linked to local law enforcement. This critical legislation addresses emergency response times, ensuring officers can arrive quickly to neutralize threats and provide aid when every second counts. By enabling immediate, discreet alerts, Alyssa’s Law helps protect students and staff, reinforcing school safety without disruption.

The Story Behind Alyssa’s Law

Alyssa’s Law is named in memory of Alyssa Alhadeff, a 14-year-old student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. On February 14, 2018, Alyssa was one of 17 victims tragically lost in a mass school shooting.

Following the tragedy, Lori Alhadeff, Alyssa’s mother, founded Make Our Schools Safe, a nonprofit dedicated to improving school security. Her advocacy helped fast-track the passage of Alyssa’s Law, ensuring schools nationwide implement silent panic alarms for faster law enforcement response in emergencies.
