PfISD Stadium Metal Detectors

Metal Detector Policy/Procedure

Pflugerville Independent School District is committed to ensuring a safe environment by protecting the health, safety, and welfare of all students, staff, and visitors of The Pfield Stadium. Persons that do not consent to a metal detection screening may be denied admittance. The metal detector checks shall be neutral and non-discriminatory. No person shall be selected to be searched based solely upon his/her gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, physical appearance, manner of dress, or association with any particular group of persons.

TO COMBAT SCHOOL VIOLENCE AND THE POTENTIAL PRESENCE OF WEAPONS IN OUR FACILITIES, PFLUGERVILLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT MAY UTILIZE METAL DETECTORS TO DETECT FIREARMS, KNIVES, AND OTHER WEAPONS.

  • Spectators who seek admission into the facility must first proceed to the metal detector screening area.
  • Stadium Staff will instruct spectators on how to enter the metal detectors and guide them through the entrance. Spectators will be instructed to empty the metal contents of their pockets and carry them through the metal detector above their head.
  • If the metal detector alarm sounds while being screened in any areas besides the “above the head” signal, the spectator will have the opportunity to empty the contents of the area in question and the spectator will be wand-screened. The hand-held scanning device should be passed along the front, back, and both sides of the person being scanned without touching the body.
  • If the hand-held scanning device also activates, the law enforcement official or principal or designee will ask the spectator once again to produce the signal-triggering metal object.
  • Any illegal objects (i.e., firearms, knives, or other implements which can be used as weapons) found during the search will be turned over to law enforcement officials.
  • Spectators who refuse cooperation will be denied access into the facility.

The presence of metal detectors provides the community, parents, and staff with a sense of security when they know everyone in the facility has been screened. Providing a safe environment allows spectators to enjoy the game and feel safe.
