Florida's Statewide Centralized Alert Platform (FLSCAP)
In accordance with Section (s.) 1006.07(4), Florida Statutes (F.S.), the Department of Education, in cooperation with the Department of Management Services, shall identify a centralized system for use by all public safety answering point infrastructure which can receive alerts from all panic alert systems and integrate digital maps used by public schools, charter schools, and other educational institutions.
Statutory Requirements
The centralized system must:
- Receive alerts, location information, and relevant data from all department-approved panic alert systems
- Integrate and display digital school maps to provide real-time situational awareness to law enforcement and emergency responders.
- Retain and provide access to historical alert data for use by authorized state agencies.
Each public school and charter school shall confirm with the district school board that the school’s respective panic alert system is connected to the centralized system. Panic alert systems must be integrated with the centralized system to ensure seamless notification of law enforcement and emergency responders.
Vendor Selection
Following a competitive procurement process, SaferWatch has been selected as the provider to implement the State’s new centralized alert platform.
This new program will be known as Florida's Statewide Centralized Alert Platform (FLSCAP). Information for PSAPs, Law Enforcement, Schools Districts, School Safety Specialists and Security Vendors will be posted to this page as details become available.
