WESTMINSTER, Colorado: Following the Texas school shooting that killed 19, there has been a renewed discussion on how to make structures, such as schools, safer.

Isotec is a Westminster security firm that works to solve the problem of school safety by planning for the worst.

The business has developed bulletproof glass that is impervious to a variety of guns.

“This is a piece of polycarb and we’ve tested it for all these different [bullets]; a rifle, a 9 millimeter, a 357 magnum and a 45 caliber. These are very common weapons and it stopped penetration of every one of those,” an employee with Isotec said.

Meanwhile, their doors are designed to keep the threat out.

“We can put any kind of screening device in there whether it’s a metal detector, facial recognition and hand geometry. Basically, the person going through the system has to be able to pass all those screening devices before they’re allowed in the building,” the employee said.

The Department of Homeland Security designated Isotec’s security entrances as qualified anti-terrorism technologies.

“This is automated and you don’t have to depend on that human factor of making the right decision. It’s a machine, if it sees metal, it stops you,” the employee explained.

The most recent technology is unconcerned about who you are, what you look like, or where you come from. The high-tech technologies are already in use in banks, airports, information technology centers, and government buildings.

According to Isotec, their security could also help schools become safer. The only issue is that screening child one by one at the start of the day would take an inordinate amount of time. school shooting

“A lot of kids are bringing in laptops now, and tablets and thermoses and stuff like that, things that can set off a metal detector. So we actually have another metal detector that is made for high throughput and it has very high discrimination so it can tell the difference between a gun and a thermos or a tablet,” the Isotec employee described.

A solution that could be a simple and affordable way to save lives.
