The Terrorism Protection of Premises Bill, also known as ‘Martyn’s Law’ is expected to become law in 2024. For this reason, venues are pressured to bolster their safety measures to comply with regulations such as Martyn’s Law. Todd Research’s Garrett Paragon walkthrough metal detector is a high-tech tool in this endeavour, offering event venues a comprehensive solution to enhance security while ensuring compliance with evolving legislation.
Martyn’s Law, named after Martyn Hett, a victim of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, mandates that event venues implement stringent security measures to mitigate the risk of terrorist attacks. The Garrett Paragon plays a pivotal role in assisting venues in meeting these requirements effectively.
The Garrett Paragon boasts advanced detection capabilities, capable of identifying both ferrous and non-ferrous metallic contraband. Equipped with multiple sensor zones totalling 66, it provides unparalleled precision in detecting potential threats. This feature facilitates swift and efficient screening during secondary checks without diverting attention from the primary checkpoint, ensuring thorough security measures are in place.
User-Friendly Interface
Ease of operation is paramount in high-pressure security environments. The Garrett Paragon’s user-friendly interface simplifies the screening process, allowing security personnel to navigate through its features effortlessly. With 200 sensitivity levels, venues can customise settings to align with their specific security needs, enhancing flexibility and adaptability.
By implementing the Garrett Paragon, event venues can significantly enhance safety for attendees, staff, and the wider community. Compliance with Martyn’s Law necessitates proactive measures to prevent potential acts of violence or terrorism. Screening all individuals entering the venue ensures that any metal objects posing a threat are promptly detected, enabling security personnel to take necessary action.
One of the key advantages of the Garrett Paragon is its versatility, catering to the diverse needs of event venues of varying sizes and capacities. With easily adjustable settings and superior mobility, operators can seamlessly adapt to changing traffic dynamics or unexpected VIP arrivals, ensuring maximum throughput without compromising security standards.
