Full deployment will safeguard personnel at every TDOC site, routing each wearable panic button signal directly to the new Corrections Safety Intelligence Center located in Nashville

/PRNewswire/ -- CENTEGIX, the pioneer in rapid-response safety technology, has revealed that the Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC), led by Commissioner Frank Strada, is advancing officer and employee security measures across the entire state. TDOC plans to introduce the CENTEGIX Safety Platform at every state-run correctional facility, directing all alerts to the department's newly established Correction Safety Intelligence Center (CSIC) in Nashville.

The introduction of CENTEGIX throughout TDOC facilities delivers these key advantages:

Quicker Reaction Times: Activating a CENTEGIX CrisisAlert wearable panic button immediately informs designated responders on site with the individual's identity and exact position inside the facility, shortening the time needed to address any incident.
Comprehensive Statewide Coverage: The system will cover all 10 state-operated correctional facilities linked to the CSIC, positioning Tennessee among a select group of corrections networks offering real-time, unified oversight of staff safety events from one central hub with instant cross-facility coordination when assistance is needed.
Unified Oversight: All signals reach the CSIC for continuous 24/7 monitoring by TDOC staff, who add context and assist in organizing responses among facilities and partner agencies when required.
Complete Facility Access: Each officer and staff member receives a simple wearable panic button ensuring full coverage, allowing help requests from any location within a TDOC facility.

"The dedicated professionals working in our facilities handle some of the toughest public safety roles in Tennessee, making their protection my top concern," stated Frank Strada, Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Correction. "This rollout ensures every officer and team member can request immediate assistance and receive a synchronized response without delay. It represents the future of corrections safety."

"Commissioner Strada and the TDOC group are defining a fresh approach to safeguarding correctional workers," noted Brent Cobb, CEO of CENTEGIX. "Tennessee has gone beyond adopting new tools by constructing an integrated safety framework statewide, and we are proud that CENTEGIX serves as the platform their teams will depend on daily."
