National Laboratory, Homeland Security Team Up For Surveillance Project

Hanford Patrol Officer Travers Bracy examines images on a monitor Tuesday from cameras set up around the Toyota Center. Officials with the federal Department of Homeland Security, with the help of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, are testing the high-tech gear on crowds entering the arena. Testing begins Sept. 26. (Tri-City Herald photo) KENNEWICK, Wash. - Can high-tech infrared cameras and millimeter-wave cameras "see" terrorist threats coming from as far as 130 yards away?

Kennewick police and Hanford Patrol officers will test the effectiveness of the high-tech gear in a six-week tryout at the Toyota Center.

The experiment, which goes live Sept. 26 for six home games of the Tri-City Americans, will help the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate determine if the technologies are effective in the hands of local law enforcement.
