Magnetometer & Security Screening Rentals
For Safer Events
The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) offers weapons detection equipment rentals to support safe, welcoming public events.
If you are planning a festival, concert, community gathering, corporate event, or large public activation, DDP can provide magnetometers and handheld security wands to enhance your event security plan.
Thanks to our partners at Wayne County for providing a funding grant which allowed DDP to purchase the Magnetometers.
