NYPD Tests Groundbreaking Dirty Bomb Detection System
The NYPD is testing a new counterterror technology to detect radiological threats. A lower Manhattan command center will monitor 2,000 mobile detectors carried by officers daily and issue real-time wireless alerts if readings indicate a dirty bomb. Federal authorities oversee the test as it hopes to be refined for wider use. Jessica Tisch notes it is unique to New York City and has already seen field testing.
