A house of worship can be the center of a community. Many people congregate there for religious services, special events, school lessons, and community togetherness. Unfortunately, many have become the target of people who wish to do others harm. That is why Ballistiglass, one of the leading providers of built-in safety systems, offers houses of worship protection with top-tier safety devices.
Read on to learn more about how Ballistiglass’ low-profile metal detectors help balance safety without disrupting the warm and inviting atmosphere.
When improving security in a house of worship, the system is always layered. Most houses of worship have an outer area where cameras and security doors are used. The inner area, where worship services happen, need their own line of protection as well. Metal detectors are the perfect safety option here.
Metal detectors can detect a variety of metal objects. Since most weapons and dangerous devices use metals for their durability and strength, they are likely to be picked up by a metal detector.
Placing metal detectors right outside of the worship space is a great way to prevent anyone from entering with something that can be used to hurt others.
No one wants their place of worship to feel like it needs upgraded security. Having highly visible security measures in place may have the opposite effect and make parishioners feel unsafe.
If you want to put in safety devices, keep them as discreet as possible. Ballistiglass offers discrete security measures, like our low-profile metal detectors. Our BallistiScan system is the best option on the market for low-profile metal detection.
Despite being a high-tech metal detector, our BallistiScan low-profile metal detector doesn’t look like one. The BallistiScan looks like two stanchions that you would see walking into any upscale restaurant or theater. Inside, however, it hides the metal detector technology.
The control computer is also small and discreet. The size of a large briefcase, it can easily be hidden behind a partition, or inside a podium. Your parishioners never have to know that they are passing through a metal detector.
The BallistiScan is designed to be highly accurate and highly discerning. Many metal detectors go off at the sense of any metal, regardless of whether it’s part of a weapon: think belts, jewelry, and other innocuous items. Our technology can tell the difference between weapons-grade metals and other metals. This greatly reduces the chances of false-positive scans, so you don’t have to worry or bother parishioners if you don’t need to.
The BallistiScan system is designed to be used by anyone, so you don’t need to hire security personnel specifically to run your metal detectors. However, there is always the chance that you may need help. We support our products with round-the-clock support from expert technicians. If you have any problems with the system, give us a call. We can help you resolve it quickly so you can get back to what you were doing.
Times have certainly changed, and houses of worship are not as revered and safe as they once were. Feel safer and more secure without the alarming presence of metal detectors and other traditional safety features.
