How Weapon Detection Systems Improve School Safety - IdentiSys in FOX 11 News

School safety is top of mind for many districts across the country, and recent incidents in Green Bay highlight the importance of taking proactive steps to protect students and staff. In a recent FOX 11 story, Green Bay Area Public Schools shared new measures being considered to keep campuses safe—from clear backpack policies to modern weapon detection systems.

We’re proud that Brandon Peters, IdentiSys District Sales Manager in Wisconsin, was featured in this story to explain how today’s detection technology can screen thousands of students quickly and effectively—without slowing down entryways or creating long lines.

As Brandon explained in the FOX 11 interview, “A single lane can screen 2,000 people per hour, and a double lane can screen 4,000 people per hour.” He also noted that “the systems are designed for free-flow traffic, so students can walk side by side, and 92–94% of people flow right through.”
