Los Angeles and Orange County hope to become among the first users in the United States of new technology that helps first responders and investigators detect bombs.
A demonstration of the electronic information system, called Technical Resource for Incident Prevention (TRIPwire), was recently held in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County and Orange County sheriff’s departments are obtaining the TRIPwire system for detection of explosive traps set up by terrorists.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is providing the technology.
