Move over metal detectors. Sensor technology can be used in many ways, and one example is being able to identify potential threats quickly and accurately—such as concealed weapons—in schools.
Consider the example of Metrasens Ultra, which is providing its technology to Tulsa Public Schools independent school district. Each of the 77 learning communities in Oklahoma’s largest district has the flexibility to tailor safety plans and protocols to their unique communities.
This system is unique in a few ways: it can be used both indoors and outdoors and is portable, meaning it can be moved between facilities. Metrasens Ultra is a completely passive technology, emitting no harmful radiation, and thereby safe for everyone including people with medical implants or expecting mothers.
Here is how this can help:
- Heighten security and safety protocols in public schools.
- Identify threats early.
- Addresses deficiencies in conventional screening methods with advanced technology.
Looking to the future, we will continue to see the rise of new technologies that are connected, portable, and passive that will help make schools a safer place for everyone to learn.
