Strengthening Safety & Communication in JK–12 Schools

How City-Com by Incotel Helps Schools Build Safer, Smarter Campuses

Every student and staff member deserves to feel safe in their learning environment. For schools from JK to Grade 12, safety isn’t just about reacting to emergencies; it’s about creating a connected culture of awareness, communication, and rapid response. 

Today’s schools face a wide range of safety challenges, from bullying and mental health concerns to fire, flood, and security threats. To manage these effectively, technology must bring information together in real time, across every building and classroom.

That’s where Status Solutions, together with City-Com by Incotel Group, comes in.

Why School Safety Must Evolve

Traditional alarm systems and PA announcements are no longer enough. A truly safe school uses integrated technology that connects people, devices, and data. When communication systems, cameras, and alerting tools work together, administrators and teachers can respond faster and make informed decisions in critical moments.

City-Com, a trusted Canadian technology provider and part of the Incotel Group, partners with Status Solutions to bring these innovations to life. Together, they help schools design and install complete safety and communication systems that ensure accountability, visibility, and peace of mind.

Smart Safety Solutions for JK–12 Schools

  1. CATIE – Communication and Access to Information Everywhere

CATIE is the communication platform that keeps everyone connected — students, staff, and even parents.

  • Instant alerts and updates across phones, tablets, and displays during emergencies.
  • Accountability during evacuations — students and staff can mark themselves safe or request help.
  • Daily tools such as announcements, directories, and check-ins, helping CATIE become part of daily school life.
  • Anonymous reporting, allowing students to safely report bullying or mental health concerns.

With CATIE, schools can communicate across the entire campus — instantly and reliably. City-Com provides the network cabling, secure Wi-Fi, and device integration to make this system run smoothly across every building.

  1. SARA – Situational Awareness and Response Assistant

SARA connects all alerting and monitoring systems into one intelligent network. If there’s a medical emergency, intruder, or environmental hazard, SARA instantly sends alerts to the right people; teachers, administrators, or first responders, with clear information and location details.

Paired with City-Com’s security cameras, access control, and paging systems, SARA becomes even more powerful. Schools can see what’s happening, lock doors if needed, and communicate across the campus all from one central dashboard.

This integrated approach gives schools faster response times and better coordination — critical when every second counts.

  1. MIMI – Data and Insights for Safer Schools

Status Solutions’ MIMI (Merging Information into Meaningful Insights) turns data into action. By analyzing alerts, attendance, mood trends, and behavior reports, schools can identify risks early; before they turn into crises.

City-Com helps schools connect MIMI with their existing systems, ensuring the data flows securely and reliably. Whether you’re reviewing evacuation reports or monitoring response times, these insights help schools continuously improve their safety procedures.

  1. Mass Notification and Paging Systems

When an emergency occurs, clear communication saves lives. City-Com by Incotel designs and installs mass notification and paging systems that integrate directly with SARA and CATIE; ensuring that messages reach classrooms, offices, and mobile devices simultaneously.

These systems can alert staff of lockdowns, severe weather, or evacuation orders, while providing instructions that minimize panic and confusion.

Building Safer Schools Together

When integrating these systems into a JK–12 environment, City-Com and Status Solutions help schools focus on what matters most; the people inside the building. Together, they ensure:

  • Age-appropriate communication tools for younger students.
  • Private, secure data handling that meets Canadian standards.
  • Smooth integration with existing infrastructure like intercoms or PA systems.
  • Ongoing training for teachers and administrators.
  • Scalable technology that grows with the school.
