Case Study: Appleton strengthens library safety and emergency response with Response Technologies

Appleton strengthens library security in 2 seconds with Response Technologies

After a shooting incident at a public library, the city of Appleton needed a proactive security solution to protect its community. Appleton partnered with Response Technologies, implementing their Centurion Elite® security system through integrator Nielson Communications to address this critical safety challenge.

Response Technologies delivered a comprehensive solution featuring the Centurion Elite® system, which integrates door sensors, panic buttons, and instant lock-down capabilities with direct-to-radio alerts to first responders. This provided the library staff with tools for immediate emergency notification and peace of mind. The successful collaboration and training ensured the system was fully operational, serving over 400,000 annual visitors, and has become a model that other area libraries are now evaluating for their own needs.
