Mobile Mail Screening Station Makes Debut At Political Conventions
Smiths Detection, part of the global technology business Smiths Group, announced recently that a number of its security technologies have been included in the U.S. Postal Inspection Service Mobile Mail Screening Station (MMSS). The Postal Inspection Service will debut the MMSS at the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.
The first of its kind, the MMSS will allow postal inspectors to provide accurate and comprehensive mail and parcel screening at high-profile public events, while ensuring a safe and secure working environment for its postal inspectors. Additionally, the Postal Inspection Service has included FirstView, a sensor management platform developed by Smiths Detection, which will integrate the equipment and sensors with an internal CCTV system to allow for real-time situational monitoring and playback within the MMSS.
“Large, high-profile public events require significant security resources,” said Stephen Phipson, group managing director of Smiths Detection. “We are pleased the Postal Inspection Service has chosen Smiths Detection as a strategic partner in developing a sophisticated and layered security approach which provides comprehensive mobile mail screening anywhere.”
