## Resource

Alberta hospitals are stepping up security with new weapons detection tech—now live at the University of Alberta Hospital’s ER, using AI and electromagnetic scanning to spot threats before they reach patients. Visitors caught with prohibited items can safely store or surrender them, helping keep staff and guests safe. Inspired by Royal Alexandra’s success—which slashed nighttime entries by 70%—this move signals a major push for safer hospital environments across Alberta, with most people cooperating and supporting the change.
