Universal Detection Technology Awarded ATF Contract for Bioterrorism Detection

Universal Detection Technology, a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats, and provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services, reported that it has received an order from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for its bioterrorism detection equipment. The purchase includes orders for detection kits as well as training equipment used to instruct agents in the proper use of the equipment.


ATF is a unique law enforcement agency in the United States Department of Justice that protects communities from violent criminals, criminal organizations, the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, the illegal use and storage of explosives, acts of arson and bombings, acts of terrorism, and the illegal diversion of alcohol and tobacco products. ATF partners with communities, industries, law enforcement, and public safety agencies to safeguard the public we serve through information sharing, training, research and use of technology.


"ATF is a strong addition to our expanding customer base, comprised of other federal government agencies, local and state law enforcement, EMS and hazmat teams," said Jacques Tizabi, CEO at Universal Detection Technology.
