Prince William County Schools (PWCS) continues to focus on student and staff safety with a comprehensive security approach that blends advanced technology, leadership development, and a new Security Operations Center.
At the October 16, 2024, School Board meeting, officials highlighted the district's success in drastically reducing weapons on campuses and enhancing the training and capabilities of school security personnel.
A key element of this success is introducing the Evolve weapons detection system, which has significantly decreased the number of dangerous items found on school grounds. Over the last school year, non-firearm weapons, such as knives and brass knuckles, were down by 72%. Since the system was implemented, PWCS has not reported a single firearm on any campus.
