Good morning, 

Please see the information below about the demo of the open gate weapons detection system. I will help coordinate with the rep and work with Mr. Parker on which entrance we will use. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Good morning Tim, 

Pertaining to next week's demonstration, I was unfortunately unable to secure another unit for shipping as all other units are currently in rental rotation. (I know the goal was two units; I believe you will be impressed with the transit flow with even one device)

However; I did make a phone call to one of our Homeland Security executives Matt Hempfling and he will be flying in from Florida on Monday evening to assist the following day in providing some insight as to how we can fit this system to the district's needs.

The detector is set to arrive mid-day Monday. I will have to get it back out by Thursday morning for shipping, so we have set a plan for your demonstration:
  • Tuesday - Matt and I will arrive with the detector, meet with you and your administration on what a proper screening procedure entails, also cover all aspects of detectors, the settings and usage. Possibly trial screen some students.
  • Wednesday - we would DEMO this device at a point of entry to the school of your choice. I will be present to assist in screening students while the device is in operation and answer any questions that arise during or after the process.
Please let me know if this sounds viable for you all.

**Just some additional information you may find helpful - I found this article on how one of our OpenGate deployments played out for a school district in Kentucky this November. This link below details the students' very first interactions with the devices we were present for. Just 7 days ago, a neighboring Kentucky school board voted to implement the OpenGate after watching its use in Calloway County Schools.

Thanks,
Lane

Hi Lane,

It was nice meeting you on the phone on Friday too. Please let me know when you can get a demo unit or two for Statesville High School. I would also appreciate you sending me any information you have on the units so I can share it with our superintendent. 

Have a great week and let me know if you have any questions. 

Tim

Good morning Tim,

It was a pleasure meeting you via our phone call on Friday.

Just to touch base: I reached out to our fleet manager on Saturday to secure a unit for demonstrative purposes, ASAP. (currently awaiting her response)

In the meantime, I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have thought of or provide more detailed information about the unit itself.

[I reside just 5 minutes from your offices, just say the word and I can be there]

I look forward to the continuance of our conversation and wish you a great work week ahead!


Best Regards,

-Lane
