BALTIMORE, MD--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 19, 2006 -- View Systems, Inc. (OTC BB:VYST.OB), a leading homeland defense solutions provider, announced today that SecureScan II has been installed in White County, Georgia. A mandate by the Georgia General Assembly requires all Sheriff's Offices to have courthouse security plans in place by July 1.
Quoted in the Gainesville Times, Superior Court Judge David Barrett, who has offices in the White County Courthouse in Cleveland, stated, "We need to make changes not just for the judges, but for the benefit of the public and the people who work in the courthouse."
Sheriff Neal Walden of White County states, "SecureScan is a great piece of machinery. It's doing more than we expected it to do. I'm incredibly pleased with it."
Funded by the Department of Justice, the SecureScan II's non-contact imaging capabilities reduce the need for wanding and pat-down searches. While ignoring common items like coins, watches, and jewelry, the SecureScan II is sensitive enough to locate hidden razor blades and cell phones on its video image.
View Systems Executive, Charlie Nelson, states, "I am pleased with the progress in Georgia. I expect that this mandate will increase our installations statewide. I am getting calls from Georgia daily. Our current plans include a regional office in Atlanta, Georgia to cover Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi."
Gunther Than, CEO of View Systems, states, "There are 159 counties and sheriff's offices in Georgia. We are expanding our presence in the southeastern region and are eager to build the business while at the same time serving the public good."
