911 Locator

  • 911 Emergency Locator

    Faster location of emergency notifications made to emergency response centers 


    Emergency Message

    With the TEC 9-1-1 locator, notification, and recording software, the district has the tools to take control of any emergency immediately and send help directly to where it is needed.


    When 9-1-1 is dialed on any district phone, the emergency call is sent directly to a 9-1-1 response center. Simultaneously, TEC starts a local recording of the phone call, alerts staff members of the phone call, and provides the exact location of the phone used to make the call. The location information is immediately presented to staff members for action , and a copy of the call is available to district staff members, law enforcement and 9-1-1 response centers as needed.


    TEC can also provide in-hall or room LED speaker systems that will display messages about emergency locations. Speakers also are constructed with two-way voice communication for greater safety.

Call Recording
