The California Military Department has purchased a defense identification system from Intellicheck Mobilisa for $300,000 to monitor access to National Guard facilities within the region.
Security personnel will use the mobile device-installed system to identify individuals entering California Army National Guard facilities, Intellicheck Mobilisa said Thursday.
“We are confident that Defense ID will provide a heightened level of situational awareness and security for the service personnel and citizens in the California Military Department facilities and surrounding communities,†said William Roof, Intellicheck CEO.
“Having the real-time capability to determine whether visitors and vendors seeking access to these facilities are legitimate, or present a threat, can save lives,†added Roof.
The system works to verify documents and alert security personnel of threats by cross-checking information with the National Crime Information Center database.
