Why Everyone from Airports to Arenas Chooses CEIA USA

Discover the difference OPENGATE makes on campuses, at sporting events, and anywhere security matters.

“OPENGATE has given my district a much more streamlined entry process for our morning arrival to school.  It is also utilized with all athletic events, and the ease of operation and throughput allow a seamless entry for our spectators.  Spectators also appreciate the “extra mile” we are going to help mitigate weapons in sporting events, making for a much more enjoyable experience.”

Corey Goble, Director of Safety and Security Central Office

Baldwin County School District (AL)

“I liked OPENGATE® because you don’t have to worry about plugging it in, finding an electrical outlet, or deal with wires. It’s also weatherproof and lightweight – so for high schools and other events, we can bring it outside, turn it on and it’s ready to go.”

David Newlan

Executive Director Safety, Security, Emergency Management Lee County School District (FL)

“We looked at OPENGATE competitors, but found OPENGATE would best fit our needs based on the variety of settings, portability, and price. The ability to screen a large number of students effectively and efficiently.  We were able to drastically reduce the screening time compared to the walkthrough units.”

Alan Walters, Chief Operations Officer

Georgetown County School District (SC)

“We like the ease of setup – it can be set up quickly. It is portable so we can place it at different spots around campus. We can move it to athletic events and evening events easily, so we love that part of it.”

J. Chad Kirk, Ed.D.

Principal, Melbourne H.S. (FL)

“There’s always a lot of questions around new processes, especially ones with security. So of course, I think a lot of the staff and teachers were a little bit apprehensive about OPENGATE®. But once we got it started, it was much easier than we thought. Knowing that the school will be safer throughout the day makes everyone feel at ease.”

Emily Lincoln Hall

College and Career Specialist South Fort Myers High School (FL)

“Safety and security are two of our top priorities. Students can’t learn if they don’t feel safe. Since we have a large number of students, we were looking for something that wasn’t intrusive and allowed for a high level of accountability and safety – so we felt OPENGATE® was the right system for us.”

Michael J. Ramirez

Chief of Staff, Lee County School District (FL)

“You want to be proactive, not reactive after a catastrophic event. Look at the OPENGATE® system and really understand it first before you say no to it. Go around and look at other districts, call around to see what they have gone through and how they have applied it. No need to recreate the wheel – it’s already out there I encourage you to learn from others.”

David Newlan

Executive Director Safety, Security, Emergency Management Lee County School District (FL)

“I have heard from some students that they are glad that OPENGATE is in place because they feel more secure that their campus does not have some of the threats that they unfortunately have to worry about in today’s world.”

Katye Campbell

Brevard School Board Member, District 5 (FL)

“CEIA USA did a great job with training. All of our staff that worked the checkpoints had been through training. They all knew how to operate the devices and they knew what to expect when an alert happened and how to respond.”

J. Chad Kirk, Ed.D.

Principal, Melbourne H.S. (FL)
