Wrapping up training with the FWCS school principals and staff. If you think the OPENGATE system would be great for your child’s school, say something to your administration today.

Great to see FWCS and the community happy with the CEIA OPENGATE weapon system.

In the 2022-2023 school year FWCS had 9 situations where they seized weapons from students. There's only been two since the weapons detection systems have been installed.

Check out the CEIA OPENGATE Weapons Detector at the Annual Convention of Indiana Association of Fairs & Indiana State Festivals Association. Let’s talk about renting a weapon detector for your event!

We love when training and planning come together! While it’s sad that weapon detectors are needed in schools, we are pleased that FWCS chose the CEIA OPENGATE system to protect their students, staff, and buildings! Even more proud that Upside Event Management spent hours training their staff and assisted in their procurement and installation! We are grateful that the system and staff worked quickly to mitigate the threat!
