Weapons Detection At Hinsdale South Football Games

DARIEN, IL – Hinsdale South High School will implement its weapons detection system at football games this year, the school said Thursday.

In its weekly newsletter, the school said its system was designed to screen all guests upon entry efficiently.

"This technology allows for a quick and seamless process, minimizing wait times while ensuring the highest level of safety," the school said.

Prohibited items include weapons of any kind, sharp objects and other hazardous materials. No alcohol is allowed.

Students are asked not to bring their backpacks into the stadium.

All middle school students and younger children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult who bought a ticket or has a Hinsdale South Boosters ticket or pass.

"This adult is expected to be present at the game for the entire time while the (children are) present," the school said. "If there is no adult present for students younger than high school age, they will not be permitted in the stadium."

Those without adult supervision will be asked to contact a parent or guardian to be picked up immediately.

Hinsdale South's first home game is scheduled for next Friday against Riverside-Brookfield
