One school in Connecticut is doing something extra special to keep students safe. Just about every student on campus has a key chain device with a panic button. When the button is pressed campus police are notified of the caller's location and identity so help can be dispatched immediately.

The maker of the device, Somerset, says crime at the University of Bridgeport has gone down drastically with the help of the security system.
