This will be best used at vulnerability points, to function as a metal detector, catching concealed weapons like the machines you see at the airport, but with a much smaller footprint and much smaller price tag.This will be the first school year the tech will be used in schools.

There are 35 thousand schools in five thousand districts across the country also utilizing their suite of tools that help schools track drills, and employ a Raptor Alert. “We have bullet resistant glass, or films that go over and if fire department needs to breach, they figure the fastest way is to go through glass, and they can’t. They’re wasting time, valuable time,” said Armelli.
