«Breaking News» Panic button app is installed on teacher's phones in South Carolina

With a click of a button, South Carolina teachers can now alert first responders to emergencies within their schools. 

Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster said a panic button app is being installed on every teacher's cellphone in his county.

Foster said when someone hits the button, it instantly alerts police, paramedics, firefighters, school administrators and calls 911.

According to Rave Mobile Safety, the Rave Panic Button emergency response app 'enhances emergency response by communicating details of an onsite crisis to faculty, staff, and security resource officers, while simultaneously notifying 911 officials'. 

'Having the ability to get that notification we believe that we're saving anywhere from three to four minutes from that notification to the first responder,' Chief Deputy Todd Johnson told WTOC. 

The app displays a large panic button with the words 'active shooter'. 

It shows the four options of police, 911, medical responders and firefighters. 

Foster said the app can save valuable seconds, since first responders can head to the school while a 911 dispatcher gathers information.

According to the sheriff, Newberry County is the first in the state with the app.

Foster said the app can also pinpoint the location of any 911 call made from a school.

The Panic Button app was installed on all school district administrator's phones last year, according to WTOC. 

Foster said the app is important to have because there are 13 campuses spread out over 620 miles in Newberry County. 

The app works through a geofence to ping where your location is, so having it installed on a phone allows first responders to pinpoint exactly where the emergency is.

Officials said the app costs around $10,000 a year, which is split between four agencies in the county, including the sheriff's office, the school district, Newberry County Public Safety and Newberry County Memorial Hospital. 

Each agency pays about $2,500 a year.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
