In the category of Physical Security Access Control, Identification and Communications, 2016 marks the debut year for the category of Best Active Shooter Gunshot Detection System.
About the 2016 Homeland Security Awards, GSN lead judge Chuck Brooks said: “Each year the quality and scope of the submissions makes it more difficult to judge. They are all deserving. There are no inferior security products or services that I evaluated – they are all stellar. The approaches and methods sometimes differ among the entries and that is largely because they are highly focused on their specific client needs. As to the government entries, these submissions exemplify the best in public/private cooperation. Government is moving rapidly into the digital era and integrating technologies, processes and accordingly new mandates of their government agencies and programs.”
