Opengate® Advanced Screening offers new security measures for Beauregard Parish schools

Posted Date: 08/01/2025

Schools across Beauregard Parish will be implementing the Opengate® Advance
Screening system for the new school year. The system offers dynamic solutions for metal
detection and security screenings for public schools and facilities.
The new system is designed to deliver advanced safety and security measures for K-12
schools with detection accuracy, maneuverability, and tailored solutions to provide protection for

students, staff, and visitors.
Opengate® is a wire-free screening portal of independent,
self-powered pillars that are portable and do not require
divestiture of items for screening. The system is designed
for both indoor and outdoor use with a high throughput
for quick and secure entry to the school campus and to
school events.
The pillars are light-weight, allowing administrators to
quickly move them to needed areas and select appropriate
screening options for unique situations.
Beauregard Parish administrators attended a training in
June for a new security system. The system is controlled
via an App that administrators use to select a variety of
screening options, making it a versatile screening tool that
can quickly and easily be changed to meet the security
needs of the moment.
The pillars feature a clear “Go/No Go” signal, are easily
controlled via the App, provide several screening options
and levels, and deliver rapid screening with the lowest possible nuisance. Seamless passage with
bags, backpacks, and purses helps students and visitors quickly enter the building or event while
still maintaining a high level of security.
The board approved the purchase of Opengate® meatal/weapons detectors, related items,
installation, and training at the April board meeting.
