TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Xtract One Technologies (TSX: XTRA)(OTCQX: XTRAF)(FRA: 0PL) (“Xtract One” or the “Company”) today announced their newly-debuted Xtract One Gateway (“Gateway”) has been selected by Tift County Schools in Tifton, Georgia, to protect school entrances, ensuring a welcoming, streamlined, and secure experience for all individuals entering the buildings.
Tift County Schools is set to deploy Xtract One Gateway at the entrances of their high school and middle schools, with plans to deploy the system across all K-12 schools in the future. This installation aims to strengthen safety and security measures within the district, and highlights the joint dedication to prioritize the well-being of students and staff while maintaining a positive school atmosphere. By differentiating between everyday items—such as laptops, tablets, 3-ring binders, cell phones, and keys—and potential threats such as firearms, Gateway ensures a smooth and secure entry experience for students and visitors who enter carrying a medium volume of personal belongings. The system features advanced bi-directional screening technology for weapon detection and identification, allowing individuals to keep their personal belongings on them, and reducing the need for separate bag searches, thereby dramatically reducing screening times.
“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 prioritize our students’ learning, well-being, and overall school experience. We’re excited to be using Xtract One Gateway to further our mission to protect and nurture the future generations of Tift County,” said Jonathan Judy, Chief Information Officer at Tift County School District. “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.”
“Safe schools are a prerequisite for student achievement and, to a larger extent, an important standard for the well-being of the surrounding community that supports the school. 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,” said Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One. “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.”
