Founders
Charles and Eleanor Garrett brought Garrett Metal Detectors into the world of Security almost 40 years ago, but even though they are no longer with us, their legacy remains a powerful influence on the company today. Eleanor herself was a 5th generation Texas educator, and her love for children and their education still lies very close to the heart of our business.

STEVE NOVAKOVICH
CEO
As a fellow parent and school board member, our CEO Steve Novakovich was eager to be a part of the solution to the challenges schools face today.
He said, “While metal detection alone cannot safeguard our schools, only metal detection technology can provide the comfort of a true last line of defense which ensures weapons are not present in our nation’s classrooms.”
