DESCRIPTION

Raptor Technologies is a provider of integrated school safety technologies for K-12 schools across the United States. Raptor developed the first Web-based visitor management system designed for schools. The Raptor system monitors visitors, contractors, and volunteers who enter a building and provides instant screening for sex offender status and custody orders. The system has flagged more than 50,000 registered sex offenders attempting to enter K-12 schools. In the fall of 2017, the company unveiled Raptor Emergency Management, a system that helps schools prepare for, respond to, and recover from an incident with drill management, active incident management, and parent-student reunification tools. It also provides real-time reporting dashboards allowing administrators to track the status and location of every individual in a building in the event of an emergency. Raptor Technologies was founded in 2002 and is based in Houston, Texas.
