School systems, such as the Mt. Healthy City School District in Ohio, theatres, malls, stadiums, and casinos are renewing their focus on innovative threat detection technology to spot hidden weapons, chemicals, and even bombs. “Unfortunately, security are having to respond to an attack in progress,” said Martin Cronin, CEO of Patriot One, as noted by Techrepublic.com. “The idea about being able to do this covert detection is to be preemptive and to prevent attacks from happening.” However, there are companies that are quickly moving to improve enforcement possibilities, saving many lives in the process. That is also quickly opening a wide range of opportunity for companies including Patriot One Technologies Inc. (TSX:PAT)(OTCQX:PTOTF), Axon Enterprise Inc. (NASDAQ:AAXN), Johnson Controls International PLC (NYSE:JCI), Everbridge Inc. (NASDAQ:EVBG), and Napco Security Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:NSSC).
