Bogen Communications Joins the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools

Bogen Communications strengthens its commitment to education safety and security by supporting the mission of the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS), further supporting K–12 institutions

MAHWAH, New Jersey (August 10th, 2026) – Bogen Communications LLC, a longstanding leader in commercial audio and voice communications technology, has joined the growing list of PASS Partners, a coalition focused on improving safety and security in educational environments through industry collaboration and guidance. The approval and our donation highlights Bogen Communications’ investment in the education industry and positions the company within a network of manufacturers, consultants and public safety professionals focused on standardizing school safety practices.

PASS develops School Safety and Security Guidelines that provide a tiered framework for assessing risk and implementing protective measures across K-12 facilities. The guidelines are widely referenced by school administrators, design consultants and integrators when planning and upgrading safety infrastructure.

By supporting PASS, Bogen Communications gains direct visibility into evolving school safety requirements and the opportunity to contribute to discussions that shape how communication systems are specified and deployed in educational settings. Bogen Communications' engagement allows the company to align its product development and system design with frameworks already used by decision-makers in the field.

“Joining PASS provides a structured way to stay aligned with how schools are approaching safety planning and procurement,” said Randall Lee, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at Bogen Communications LLC. “It gives us direct input from consultants, end users and public safety professionals, which helps ensure our communication systems support both daily operations and emergency protocols in a way that matches real-world requirements.”

“PASS was founded to help schools make informed, evidence-based decisions about safety and security,” said Chuck Wilson, Board Chairman of PASS. “I’m pleased that Bogen Communications is supporting the mission of PASS. School safety requires a layered approach that brings together policies, procedures, training, roles, processes, and technology. We welcome partners who are committed to learning from and contributing to the proven solutions within the guidelines”.
