Case Study
Quick Thinking - And Quick Calling - Find Missing Pennsylvania Girl
A school district in Pennsylvania had been using the Global Connect system for routine messages such as school closing and absence notifications, but when a fourth grader went missing, the school discovered just how effective the system can be during a crisis. While police officers combed the area between the girl's home and the school with bullhorns, the school Principal sent a voice message broadcast to each of the parents in the district. "I was able to call every one of our contacts within minutes," explained the Principal. "I gave a description of our student, asked parents to watch for her, and requested that they ask friends and neighbors to do the same." The quick thinking of the Principal paid off, as did the quick calls made possible by Global Connect's unsurpassed speed and capacity. The fourth grader was found unharmed, and the police department was so impressed by the system's effectiveness that they are researching its use for emergency notification.
