Stop The Worst-Case Scenario With A Weapon Detection Systems

A good education prepares individuals for a bright and constructive future, but when students and faculty are concerned about violent outbursts, they cannot entirely focus on learning. While preventing such episodes requires vigilance from parents, teachers, and the community, installing a weapon detection system is essential.

A report by the  National Center for Education Statistics indicates a troubling trend. The May 2022 document states: "During the 2019–20 school year, 2,400 public school students from kindergarten to 12th grade were reported to have possessed firearms at schools in the United States. This translates to an overall rate of 5 firearm possessions per 100,000 students."

Detection Without Delay 

Ensuring that every student that passes through your doorways is clear takes time. Whether your security team looks through every bag and coat or wands each individual entering the building, the process slows entry and causes congestion. We implement coordinated systems that prevent the entry of weapons into your school and keep traffic and access flowing. 

By using sophisticated technology, safety agents can screen a vast majority of your students, preventing bottlenecks, and avoiding frustration and missed classes. In addition, our systems use smart systems to distinguish between everyday items, like coins, keys, cell phones, and actual threats, like guns, ammo, knives, and other instruments of violence. 

Situational Surveillance

The adage of 'knowing is half the battle' is especially true when it comes to keeping people safe. Rather than providing generalities, our installations allow you to identify trouble faster and more accurately than ever before by utilizing cutting-edge technology to pinpoint a device's location in real-time. Sensors indicate potential risk by indicating where on a person a weapon may be, focusing cameras on that location, and alerting relevant staff. 

 In the rare case where a weapon gets through, Gunshot detectors use ultrasonic acoustic sensing to identify the exact location, discriminate the sound from other loud reports, and instantly notify security and first responders. The sensors are mounted unobtrusively throughout the school grounds, diligently listening for signs of trouble. The units can also alert you to the sounds of breaking glass for any attempts to gain entry through windows.
