Gwinnett County Solicitor-General Brian Whiteside supports the use of metal detectors as a risk-reduction tool in Gwinnett County Public Schools. 

 

“The first method of protecting lives is perimeter defense,” Whiteside said in a press release.  “We must take the necessary steps to prioritize the safety and security of all students and staff within our public school system,”

The Gwinnett County Solicitor-General’s Office believes the implementation of additional security measures is needed to keep students, teachers, and the community safe, according to a press release.

“Metal detectors have been known to lower the chance of violent acts from taking place. These risk-reduction tools will add an additional layer of protection and allow students to receive a quality education in a safe environment,” Whiteside said.
