Almost a decade ago, the Company pioneered the use of metal detectors in schools when it supplied six walk-throughs to the Dallas (Texas) Independent School District. Now, countless schools across the US benefit from Garrett products and expertise.

Today, Garrett Metal Detectors holds a reputation as one of the world's leading experts in the areas of Special Events and School security screening with metal detectors.
