Abstract
ABSTRACT A comprehensive security system designed and fabricated by the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory(INEEL) was installed into the Bannock County Courthouse located in Pocatello, Idaho. The centerpiece of this securitysystem is a portal style weapons detection system that uses passive magnetic sensor technology as the basis for detection.The complete security system includes video and audio surveillance operated from a central location. The INEEL ConcealedWeapons Detection (CWD) system was installed at three entrances into the courthouse and serves as a testbed for theNational Institute of Justice (NIJ) sponsored system. To accept the proposed security system, minor modification to thecourthouse entrances and service facilities were required. Construction activity began at the courthouse in September of1997, and the security system was installed into the courthouse between November 1997, and January of 1998. The systemhas been fully functional since February 1, 1998 and as of April 3, 1998, is responsible for detecting hundreds of illegalknives and two handguns.Keywords: magnetic sensors, concealed weapons detection, remote monitoring, testbed, gradiometer, security
