XTRACT ONE SELECTED BY MERIDIAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO STRENGTHEN SAFETY ACROSS THE DISTRICT

Xtract One Technologies Inc.'s SmartGateway has been selected by Meridian Public School District (MPSD) in Meridian, Miss., to amplify school safety throughout its campuses. The comprehensive, customizable entry screening solution is designed to unobtrusively scan students and visitors with the ability to detect concealed threats before they are brought onto campus, maintaining a secure yet welcoming school environment.

Understanding the importance of fostering a safe learning environment, Meridian Public School District is set to deploy Xtract One's SmartGateway initially for the high school, and with plans to eventually deploy across all 10 campuses, prioritizing the safety of over 4,500 students and 1,000 employees. After evaluating several safety solutions, Meridian Public School District selected SmartGateway due to its proven ability to deliver advanced detection capabilities with minimal disruptions.

"Pro-active threat detection is crucial for preventing disturbance in educational institutions. The right system, combined with a strategic, holistic and people-first plan, makes for an even more effective safety protocol," said Peter Evans, chief executive officer of Xtract One. "We're excited to expand our school footprint working with Meridian Public Schools as our presence helps ensure that students and faculty can prioritize a focus on education without personal safety concerns."

"At Meridian Public Schools, maintaining the safety of our students, staff and visitors is our highest priority and our partnership with Xtract One is an example of that," said Chief Cornelius Parks, chief of police at Meridian Public School District. "We're passionate about cultivating safer spaces for the community that allow individuals to enter our buildings and experience a positive learning environment. The implementation of SmartGateway demonstrates the shared commitment between MPSD and Xtract One in pro-actively detecting and addressing security challenges and creating safer environments for the community that allow individuals to enjoy campus life, experience an optimal learning environment and have peace of mind.

SmartGateway replaces intimidating metal detectors with fast, reliable and accurate weapon screening at security check points. Powered by AI (artificial intelligence) sensors, SmartGateway detects threats discreetly, without invading the sense of privacy of those passing through the system. SmartGateway unobtrusively scans individuals for guns, knives and other prohibited items as they enter the building. The system allows for seamless passage through check points, enabling uninterrupted flow of movement that lets individuals enter the building, significantly reducing the need to divest of low-volume personal items.
