Neutralizing Weapons at School Before They Ever Fire

A proactive weapon detection system is now a necessity for schools in America to keep students, teachers, and staff safe in the event of an active shooter or other violent incident. Using advanced analytics, facial recognition, and subject live-tracking, these systems detect the presence of weapons on school grounds, alerting authorities in real-time for an optimal response in case of emergencies. 

At ASAP Security Services, we make it our mission to protect schools in Conroe, TX, and all across the state from the latent threat of violence. Read on to learn how our gun detection systems protects schools with the latest in smart security integration and automation.

Deter and Prevent Crime

Smart weapon detection systems are faster, more efficient, and less invasive than traditional metal detectors and wands. They also help prevent a tragedy before it even occurs. By detecting weapons on school grounds, authorities can intervene before a potential shooter has the opportunity to harm anyone, preventing the loss of life and trauma associated with violent incidents. 

Smart weapon detection systems also reduce the overall level of fear and anxiety that students and staff may feel in the wake of a school shooting. By providing a smart, non-invasive layer of security, these systems help to create a sense of safety and security for students and staff. 

System Integration & Analytics 

For an optimal performance, weapon detection systems must be integrated with other security measures. For example, Avigilon offers a concealed weapon detection system that detects where a gun is on a person, uses facial recognition to identify a threat, and sends real-time alerts to staff, monitoring stations, and law enforcement agencies. Monitoring stations can track a potential shooter using the school surveillance cameras, and direct him through the building by strategically managing access control points. 

Using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and real-time acoustic analysis, a weapon detection system easily differentiates between a shot and other noises. If a shot is detected, an integrated alarm system can then send mass alerts to anyone in school grounds while simultaneously alerting law enforcement. 

While smart weapon detection systems can be an effective tool for keeping schools safe, it is important to recognize additional measures must be taken as well. For instance, a comprehensive approach to school safety includes training staff and students on how to respond to potential threats.
