Product Features
A badge holder for your teachers and staff that is truly the first of its kind. The list of Badge Messenger® features is so plentiful, it's hard to narrow down the single best attribute.

Like A Reliable Admin Member, But Better
There are school safety products and then there is CAREL.
CAREL is an acronym that highlights Badge Messenger’s most important features: Communicate, Alert, Respond, Evaluate, and Learn.
CAREL is a communication system that dispatches and monitors all alerts and notifications within your school for both routine requests and emergency situations. It’s customizable for each school and the associated badges. Public K-8 school with 1,500 students? No problem. Specialized primary school with enrollment of 400 students preschool through fourth grade? Badge Messenger has a solution for that as well.
The Robust & Dependable Campus Alert System
Teachers don’t have enough time in their day to learn new systems, so Badge Messenger makes security easy.

How Does Badge Messenger Work?
When you need help, press the appropriate button. The CAREL Operator will see your request and assign or address it according to school protocol. You will see the progress of your request every step of the way until it is resolved.
Establish CAREL's placement in a centralized location. Badge Messenger can enhance or fortify existing systems for communication, and connect badges to individual teachers, support staff, and faculty.
The greatest benefit of Badge Messenger is that it’s not app-based and works independently from WiFi and cell phone networks. No need to worry in a power outage since both the CAREL and the Messengers are battery operated and can be recharged through USB. Communication on the Badge Messenger system is encrypted and happens on our own wireless network.
