Garrett’s Security Division utilizes a sophisticated international distribution network to sell and service its walk-through, hand-held, thermal, and ground-search metal detectors.

The company’s Security Division was created in 1982 when Charles Garrett was asked to develop security screening metal detectors for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. This was the first use of walk-through and hand-held metal detectors by the Olympics. Since that time, Garrett has provided products and service for numerous international sporting events, including FIFA World Cup, the Pan American Games, and many summer and winter Olympics Games. 

Garrett products are trusted to secure many types of public domains: large-scale sports stadiums, special events venues, school facilities, courthouses, prisons, government buildings, mass transit terminals, hospitals, loss prevention, and more.
