Xtract One solution to safeguard schools in US state

Xtract One Technologies has confirmed that its newly-debuted Xtract One Gateway solution is being deployed by Tift County Schools in Tifton, Georgia, US.

The Gateway solution will protect school entrances and ensure a welcome, streamlined and secure experience for individuals entering the building.

Tift County Schools to deploy Gateway

According to the solutions provider, Tift County Schools will deploy Gateway at the entrances of their high school and middle schools.

There are also plans in place to deploy the system across all K-12 schools in the future.

This installation will help strengthen safety and security measures within the district.

Moreover, this highlights a joint dedication to prioritising the wellbeing of students and staff while maintaining a positive school atmosphere.

Gateway features advanced bi-directional screening technology for weapon detection and identification, allowing individuals to keep personal belongings on them, dramatically reducing screening times.

“An experience that still remains inviting”

“As a district with 11 schools, nearly 7,700 students and over 1,000 teachers and staff members, it’s critically important for us to prioritise our students’ learning, wellbeing and overall school experience,” said Jonathan Judy, Chief Information Officer, Tift County School District.

“We’re excited to be using Xtract One Gateway to further our mission to protect and nurture the future generations of Tift County.

“We investigated several technologies to secure our facilities and found that Gateway provided a broad set of weapons detection while also significantly reducing unnecessary bag searches, x-ray machines or complex operations.

“Our students, teachers, staff and visitors deserve the best and with Xtract One’s enhanced security solution, we’ll be able to deliver an atmosphere district-wide for anyone entering our schools that is even more secure, with an experience that still remains inviting.”

“This sets a new standard”

“Safe schools are a prerequisite for student achievement and, to a larger extent, an important standard for the wellbeing of the surrounding community that supports the school,” added Peter Evans, CEO, Xtract One.

“We’re continuing to deliver innovative security solutions that empower schools to address modern threats and enhance safety without compromising the welcoming environment that students deserve.

“With technology like Gateway complementing existing security operations, students will benefit from enhanced, non-invasive security that allows them to walk into school freely without needing to divest their personal belongings.

“This sets a new standard for school safety and allows students to focus on their education.”
