Stapleton Security Special Event Security Equipment

Stapleton Security Does It Again! New Security Technology is incredibly powerful in enhancing the safety of large-scale events.

Stapleton Security is the premier provider of services that strengthen perimeter security programs by mitigating the threat of explosive devices, weapons of mass destruction (chemical, biological, and radiological), and high-consequence intruders. Our original and current business model leverages the unique knowledge, training, and experience of retired and active members of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) Bomb Squad and Emergency Services Unit and other elite law enforcement and military organizations.

The security industry is familiar with magnetometers or walk-through metal detectors such as Ceia, Rapiscan, and Garrett. It is also familiar with explosive detection canine teams, which are valuable tools for detecting energetic materials in static environments.  Stapleton Security is proud of our robust inventory of walk-through metal detectors and explosive detection canine teams.

Stapleton Security also knows technology is moving fast; Event professionals are asking questions, and Stapleton Security is listening. In recent years, many special event security professionals have heard the names Evolv, Open Gate, and Xonar. Stapleton Security offers our clients access to them all. X-ray scanners are becoming more customized for specific needs with improved capabilities, and Stapleton Security provides our clients with access to them all. Canine teams have become more mission-specific, including gun detection and mobile explosive detection canine teams. Stapleton Security allows our clients access to them all.

Scent Detection Dogs

Explosive Detection Dogs

In the United States, the use of dogs in detecting bombs started in the early 1940s.

In today's "war on terror" and unpredictable climate in which we go about our daily lives bomb detection canine teams play an important role. In 2010 the Pentagon was quoted stating "After $19 billion dollars were spent over 6 years the best bomb detector was the dog."

Highly trained/certified explosive detection canine (EDC) teams are a cost-effective and highly accurate means of detection when incorporated into your security operations. No person or machine can detect explosives as well as certified explosive detection canine teams. Our canine sweeps are a safe, non-intrusive, and effective means to clear questionable packages, locate explosive devices, and avoid unnecessary evacuations or disruptions to normal operations.

S.S.I. also realizes not every bomb detection canine team or program is equal. That is why it is our job to help educate end-users as to why we are effective.
