CENTEGIX Hits One Million Panic Button Activations Nationwide

The company’s CrisisAlert system, which now protects over 18 million people, relies on a network of wearable panic buttons that provide immediate location data to responders. CEO Brent Cobb frames the milestone not as a corporate victory, but as a measure of the trust organizations place in the platform during high-stakes emergencies. To maintain this reach, the firm has recently integrated AI-driven threat detection and live video streaming, which activates only when a distress signal is sent to preserve user privacy.

Beyond basic alerts, the platform’s expansion includes the acquisition of Pikmykid to manage daily operational safety, such as school dismissal and attendance. John Gregitis, Chief Growth Officer, noted that the system’s footprint now covers all 50 states. As demand for connected security grows, industry advocates like Lori Alhadeff, co-founder of Make Our Schools Safe, emphasize that the value of such tools lies entirely in the speed of the intervention, arguing that faster coordination directly correlates to lives saved during critical incidents.
