“As this is the largest security industry trade show in the U.S. today, we are enjoying the visibility we are achieving amongst some of the world leaders in the security industry,” continued Mr. Cronin. “I came to this event with the belief that we would find ourselves benchmarked against the best products in the market for weapons detection, and to come out on top of our category is really big news for us, our partners and stakeholders alike.

The first-of-its-kind NForce CMR1000 is an easily-concealed, cost-effective and non-invasive full-body scanning technology that is practical and safe. The device can covertly detect on-body concealed weapons (rifles, handguns, knives, grenades, explosive vests) at key access points and doorways of weapons-restricted buildings and facilities. The solution is designed to be installed behind walls, in ceilings and in floors, and may be installed to notify security professionals prior to an individual carrying a weapon into a building. In addition, the NForce CMR1000 solution can be integrated with other access point security systems to assist in locking down doors, turnstiles, elevators and other access point gating systems.
