I run a large department store that is visited by thousands of customers every day. Towards the end of a previous month there was a surge in violent weapon-based crime. So in the interest of our customers we decided to take preventative action.
In addition to improving our security system we went ahead and purchased new security metal detectors. The hardest part of that process was having to compare metal detectors on the market but in the end we selected Garrett handheld metal detectors.
Our plan was made up of several stages the most important of which would be to set up manned security stations at each and every entrance to our store. The guards positioned there would be in charge of scanning all the patrons to our store as they enter.
Each of the security stations would be divided into two lines one for males and the other for women. The guards are there to single out customers for carrying contraband items and to take whatever action is required whether it be throwing them out of the store or contacting the cops.
We decided to make use of handheld security metal detectors mainly because we felt that they would allow us a lot more flexibility than the standard standing metal detectors. Of the models that we got to choose from we picked the CSI Pro-Pointer.
It featured both a vibrating and audible alarm and an led flashlight for low-light use. It also came built with a highly sensitive tuner that was effective at detecting most metallic objects within its range such as shell casings or projectiles.
Given that we were not utilizing a fixed metal detector our security guards could scan individuals more thoroughly. This allowed us to find contraband a lot more accurately that may have been missed with a fixed metal detector.
Whenever looking for a robust solution it is necessary that you compare metal detectors to see which one fits your needs. Not all security metal detectors are made the same way and some may be much better compared to others.
