Benefits of Metal Detectors in Schools

 

 

 

 

Parent, Student, and Public Peace of Mind:

When parents send their children off to school, they deserve to feel confident in their safety. By implementing metal detectors, you provide an additional layer of protection that brings peace of mind to families, fellow students, and the wider community. It's about fostering an environment where everyone can focus on learning and personal growth, free from the constant worry of potential dangers.

 

Increased Situational Awareness:

Metal detectors are not just physical barriers; they significantly enhance situational awareness for security personnel and school administrators. By swiftly identifying potential risks, these devices empower you to respond proactively and mitigate threats effectively. With improved situational awareness, you can ensure a safer and more secure learning environment for everyone.

 

Prevention of Dangers:

The foremost goal of metal detectors is to prevent dangers before they have a chance to unfold. By effectively detecting concealed weapons and unauthorized items, these devices act as powerful deterrents against individuals with malicious intentions. You proactively safeguard your school community from potential harm by implementing metal detectors.

 

Cost-Effective and High Return on Your Investment:

We understand the importance of balancing your budget while investing in security measures. Metal detectors provide a cost-effective solution with a high return on investment.

Mythbusters: Metal Detectors in Schools

 

 

 

 

MYTH: Metal detectors require lots of additional personnel to operate them

An important goal of the site assessment is to minimize the number of open and staffed entrances. In the morning, students arrive at just a few secure entrances, where they are screened promptly as they arrive. Once the morning rush is complete, only a single checkpoint entrance remains open, reducing the need for staffing for the rest of the day. Additionally, this is a frequent topic of competitor obfuscation – Garrett checkpoints can typically be staffed at fewer than three people per machine. Garrett does recommend that a campus law enforcement officer or some other trained security professional be stationed at each checkpoint.


MYTH: Metal detectors will make my school feel like a prison

The perception of metal detectors continues to evolve as people gain greater exposure to them at airports, sporting events, concert venues, amusement parks, and other public sites. A child’s first encounter with a security metal detector is likelier to be at an airport or sports arena than a prison. For many parents, the question has moved from “Why should our school buildings feel like prisons?” to “Why are our prisons, airports, and stadiums safer than our schools?”. A well-run metal detector checkpoint brings safety and peace of mind without causing a significant slowdown to the school day during ingress.


MYTH: Metal detectors can’t achieve the results of “weapons detectors”

This claim, which often originates from misleading marketing by weapons detector companies and a lack of public education on modern security technologies, is false in two ways. First, it appears to contrast metal detectors and weapons detectors when most weapons detectors are rebranded metal detectors marketed towards mass-transit applications. Second, metal detectors can achieve similar throughput and detection results to weapons detectors, but it is by lowering their detection settings below the normal levels for most security applications. Modern metal detectors exceed the detection capabilities of these weapons detectors but are perfectly capable of lowering the rigour of their detection.


MYTH: Metal detectors will make students late to class

 A proper site assessment can optimise the number of detectors to mitigate or eliminate lines. Staff training and operation guidelines, machine placement and configuration, and student education and preparation all contribute to a successful implementation. Metal detectors have effectively and efficiently screened millions of guests at concerts, sporting events, airports, amusement parks, and government buildings worldwide for decades.
