With the frequency of shootings in public spaces, schools all over the country have increased security measures. These measures are, unfortunately, necessary to keep people safe from additional security personnel to metal detectors.
The team at Ballistiglass has developed entrance metal detectors for schools and other public places that see lots of foot traffic during the day. These are used to ensure that no one – students, staff, or anyone else – brings dangerous weapons onto the property. These detectors can reduce the risk of violence and increase feelings of safety and security on campus.
The presence of metal detectors at a school entrance can reduce the risk of anyone entering the building with a knife, a gun, or other instruments that can cause harm.
With security personnel present and ready to handle any violations and built-in technology that can immediately notify authorities, our technology is an excellent deterrent.
With active shooter drills becoming more commonplace in public schools, it’s understandable that anxiety among both students and staff may be heightened. This is deeply unfortunate since schools should be safe, secure places. Children should be able to focus on learning and developing friendships with peers rather than worrying about getting hurt by a shooter. With entrance metal detectors, safety is prioritized, and so is peace of mind.
The presence of this technology can help facilitate calmness and readiness for learning in students and staff. School administration can be confident that they are doing their due diligence to protect the people in the building since everyone must be cleared before they can come in. Anyone with nefarious intentions can see these detectors and think twice about carrying a weapon onto the property.
Some people may feel comforted by the presence of an entrance metal detector, but others may see it and feel more anxious because of the reminder of why it’s needed. Schools can decide if they want an obvious setup where everyone knows they are walking through it, as opposed to a more discreet system like BallistiSCAN. BallistiSCAN is a low profile, portable, walk-through metal detector that can help keep the school entrance welcoming for everyone while staff and students are kept safe.
Ballistiglass has a wide range of metal detectors, bulletproof glass, and other security products. Our products are portable and easy to set up, with software that can be used to customize unique settings and preferences.
