Alyssa’s Law is critical legislation addressing the issue of law enforcement response time when a life-threatening emergency occurs because time equals life. The law calls for the installation of silent panic alarms that are directly linked to law enforcement, so in case of any emergency they will get on the scene as quickly as possible, take down a threat and triage any victims.

The Alyssa’s Legacy Youth in Schools Safety Alert (ALYSSA) Act was introduced at the federal level by Representative Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ-5). This life-saving legislation mandates and funds silent panic alarms for public schools in the United States.
U.S. Representatives Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5), Tony Gonzales (TX-23), Jared Moskowitz (FL-23), and Don Davis (NC-1) reintroduced bipartisan school safety legislation to require silent panic alarms in schools nationwide and invest in School Resource Officers.
SOS Act (HR 5000)
The Strengthening Our Schools (SOS) Act of 2023 (H.R. 5000) was also introduced by Representative Gottheimer to increase investment in more well-trained School Resource Officers so that every school has a first responder already on campus in the event of a critical incident.
Representative Gothheimer introduced a bill to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to provide funding for school resourse officers, and for other purposes.
