For Worcester's five high schools, White estimated the cost of installing metal detector systems would run from $73,000 to $91,250. He noted given the school populations, four or five units would likely be needed to move students through in the morning. One handheld wand per unit is also included in the price.
The initial purchase price of a portal metal detector is almost insignificant compared with the ongoing personnel costs to operate the equipment in a complete weapon detection program. An excellent example that illustrates this fact is the successful weapon detection program run by the New York City (NYC) Board of Education in about 50 of its inner-city high schools (exhibit 3.5).
