Metrasens has revealed that the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) in Texas has chosen the company’s weapons detection solution to help bolster safety measures for graduation ceremonies and extracurricular events.
Serving nearly 75,000 students across 140 schools, FWISD conducted a meticulous internal assessment of various technologies, ultimately selecting Metrasens as its preferred solution.
FWISD deployed six Metrasens Ultra weapons detection systems during its 2024 graduation ceremonies.
“We are confident in our choice of Metrasens Ultra to elevate our extracurricular safety efforts,” said Daniel Garcia, Safety & Security Executive Director at FWISD.
“With regards to FWISD graduations and other ceremonies, it’s paramount that students, faculty and visiting families feel assured and confident as they come together to commemorate these special occasions.
“As we open our facilities to families, it’s essential to offer reassurance that Metrasens Ultra systems provide a completely safe solution for all members of our school community.”
Metrasens Ultra swiftly and accurately pinpoints potential threats such as concealed weapons, without emitting any harmful radiation.
Its versatility enables effortless transition between indoor and outdoor settings, while its portability ensures convenient setup and relocation between facilities, without necessitating physical contact, Metrasens says.
“We are honored to have been chosen by FWISD to implement our advanced detection technology at their extracurricular events,” said Chis Arbeitman, Vice President of Market and Business Development at Metrasens.
“The district’s dedication to safety aligns perfectly with our mission to provide innovative solutions that meet the diverse security needs of our customers.”
