Deterrence is the layer of the P.R.O. Model™ that never has to be tested. When a threat sees the front door and turns around, prevention wins with no incident report to write. Who's behind that front door for A DOJ-selected national standard? Three people at Garrett Metal Detectors, the 60-year Texas manufacturer whose walk-through detectors sit at the perimeter of schools, stadiums, houses of worship, and federal facilities every day. Steve Novakovich CEO He has led Garrett since January 2018, an engineer-turned-operator trained at Northwestern and MIT before three decades at Exxon, Texas Instruments, Texas Air Composites, and Graco Supply. Off the clock, he serves on his local school board, the same audience Garrett's detectors protect. John Boyd President & Chairman. Boyd has chaired Garrett's board since 2012, holding a concurrent Advisory Leader and Partner seat at Saville CPAs & Advisors since 1998. His financial and strategic discipline is why Garrett's ASPP™ commitment reads as a mission investment, not a marketing line. Chris Parker Director of U.S. Security Sales. Parker leads Garrett's U.S. security sales, carrying a medical-device background, Gentherm, Smiths Medical, MAST Biosurgery, Synovis, into schools, government, and event venues. He treats a walk-through detector like a diagnostic tool, not a turnstile, and the customer feels the difference. Garrett Metal Detectors is the ASPP™ Community of Experts partner named for the deterrence and detection band inside the Prevention layer. Visible screening at the perimeter shifts the calculus before the incident timeline ever starts. Every event a bad actor decides not to attempt is a life the community keeps. Every prevented event is one that never trends... Destination #NEVERHERE™
