TCAPS and local law enforcment will test a new weapon detection system at Thirlby Field in the coming weeks.

According to an email from Central High School Principal Ben Berger to parents, this "advanced technology is designed to provide an extra layer of security, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all."

"We want to emphasize there are currently no known threats and this pilot program is simply a precautionary measure to protect our students, staff, and visitors," Berger wrote in the email. "By testing this system, we aim to assess its effectiveness and gather valuable feedback to inform future implementation decisions.
