BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 2006--View Systems Inc. (OTCBB: VYST), a leading homeland defense solutions provider, announced today that a purchase order for two SecureScan units has been received from the City of Placentia, Calif., on behalf of the Placentia Police Department.
Funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, the SecureScan'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 is sensitive enough to locate hidden razor blades and cell phones on its video image. The SecureScan's open system architecture allows its data and video to be monitored and controlled remotely. The SecureScan's additional biometric, positive ID system is fast becoming an integral tool in public safety screening.
View Systems' West Coast Representative Craig Boyd stated, "We are pleased with the continuing purchase orders coming in from the state of California. The City is especially pleased with the SecureScan's archiving capability. The ability to review and determine visitor patterns is a great advantage. The proper use of these units will increase safety and security for all employees and visitors."
View Systems CEO Gunther Than stated, "There are 58 counties and sheriffs' offices in California and over 400 police departments and police stations. Southern California is becoming a strong market for View Systems. Texas is our next target region. View will be installing units in the Greenville area (about 50 miles northeast of Dallas) within the next few weeks."
