Fully deployable equipment is well-placed for police search ops in urban locations… British Transport Police have taken deliver of a new mobile scanner that is versatile enough to be deployed at railway stations or major public events. The 3DX-Ray Flatscan Pod, which was demonstrated to PoliceOracle.com at the Modernising Justice Though IT conference in London, enables operators to easily scan baggage while out on deployment. A 3DX spokesman revealed that the BTP has purchased up to five of the scanners, which provide an impressive three-dimensional picture of bag contents. The 400kg battery-powered unit is deployed in a cabinet with software running under Microsoft Windows through a notebook PC. It will supply eight hours of use on full charge. The spokesman added: said: “You can deploy the equipment easily and, for security applications, it is well suited to areas such as railway stations or events such as music festivals.” Courtesy of SecurityOracle.com - The Secury Industry's Portal
