For the Holy Family Catholic Regional Division in Alberta, Canada, a growing number of vaping incidents had become a serious concern. Students were using restrooms and locker rooms to vape, leaving staff struggling to monitor every space. With hundreds of incidents reported each month, the school needed a proactive solution that could detect vaping and other behaviors in real time, without invading student privacy.
That’s where HALO Smart Sensor made the difference. The division installed HALO devices in key areas across multiple campuses, immediately giving administrators the ability to detect vaping, THC, and air-quality issues. Beyond that, HALO provided aggression detection and tamper alerts, allowing staff to respond the moment an incident occurred. Instead of patrolling blindly, they were equipped with real-time data and instant notifications that turned reactive efforts into proactive safety.
The results were dramatic. Within months, vaping incidents dropped by 70%, aggressive behavior was caught earlier, and environmental monitoring became part of daily operations. This was especially valuable during Canada’s wildfire season when air quality could fluctuate rapidly. The data HALO provided also helped staff handle disciplinary issues with fairness and consistency, creating a more transparent process for parents and students alike.
