GARLAND, Texas, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas-based
Garrett Metal Detectors – in partnership with DVS Solutions –
announced that its new Paragon walk-through metal detector
(released 2023) attained a significant competitive victory in a bid
for security upgrades for Memphis Shelby County Schools. More than
160 Paragons were installed across 100 or more ISD locations over
the last month.
Garrett's best-in-class 66-zone Paragon security detector
achieved the win due to rigorous analysis by district security.
"After extensive side-by-side comparison with multiple [competitor]
systems, we felt the Paragon was the best system to meet our
needs," said Carolyn Jackson, the
Memphis Shelby County Schools Chief of Safety and Security.
"Paragon will match and exceed the competition for power and
flexibility," added US Security Sales Director Chris Parker. "Weapons detectors need to be able
to catch the threats that schools care about if they want to sell
to schools. Paragon can go the distance, catching the threats our
competitors can't at half the cost or less."
Paragon is the first of Garrett's walkthroughs to come with 4
distinct screening programs specialized for school applications,
and its industry-exclusive Ambiscan feature and Zero Touch NFC
capability make it a market leader for ease-of-use in the
ever-changing world of school security.
