Universal Detection Technologies Corporation today announced that it has received a purchase order from the Burbank Fire Department to purchase detection kits capable of detecting anthrax, ricin toxin, botulinum toxin, plague and other biochemical agents. These kits are the best available means of early detection of these materials and utilize cutting edge airborne pathogen detection technology.
Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UDTT’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We at UDTT have constantly warned about the deadly and devastating effects of such an attack for years. It is only through constant assessment and enhancement of our safety and security protocols and technologies that we, as a nation, can stay ahead of the threat. We need to expect the unexpected an do all in our power to equip our men and women in uniform as well as on our streets with devices and technologies that can potentially save their lives and countless others. We are delighted to see that more and more agencies are showing interest in our counter-terrorism technologies and we welcome the Burbank Fire Department as a user of UDTT’s detection kits.”
This sale to the Burbank fire department and other recent sales of Universal Detection Technology’s biological weapons detection kits come at the heels of a congressionally commissioned report released on Thursday which, according to the Washington Post, reported that the US military’s lack of “sufficient[ly] trained, ready forces available” to respond to nuclear, biological or chemical attacks “is an appalling gap that places the nation and its citizens at greater risk.”
The Burbank fire department is an ideal candidate for the Company’s detection kit needs since it is a neighboring city to Los Angeles. The town is also home for several major Hollywood studios and the Bob Hope Airport, which annually services nearly 5 million passengers. Burbank has become the latest on the growing list of Universal Detection Technology clients.
In a recent interview with the CEO of UDTT, Jacques Tizabi, he said “It is only through constant assessment and enhancement of our safety and security protocols and technologies that we, as a nation, can stay ahead of the threat. We need to expect the unexpected and do all in our power to equip our men and women in uniform as well as on our streets with devices and technologies that can potentially save their lives and countless others. We are delighted to see that more and more agencies are showing interest in our counter-terrorism technologies and we welcome the Burbank fire department as a user of UDTT’s detection kits.”
