LOS ANGELES-- Mobile Booths Provide B.I.G. Value
The Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. is in the midst of a multi-million dollar security upgrade that involves working within the framework of the Federal Government and the Smithsonian Institution’s procurement standards to provide enhanced security to twelve museums, ten research centers, and one zoological park.

“Depending on the Homeland Security Terrorist Threat code level, we are considering posting a checkpoint at the entrances to the Zoo, and we would probably want the flexibility a mobile booth would provide,” said Douglas Hall, Associate Director for Technical Security at the Institute.

“It’s impossible to quantify the value of a booth as a deterrent,” said Mr. Hall. “One of the benefits I can see to a mobile booth is that you can hire a person to staff it as needed and have the flexibility to divert that security resource to another location at your facility when you don’t.”

Dave King, Vice President for Los Angeles-based B.I.G. Enterprises explains, “With mobile booths, you can create multiple layers emanating from the facility you are securing. Layered security is a much bigger deterrent to would-be criminals persuading them that they have a greater chance of being stopped. Mobile booths offer flexibility to parking and crowd control and this equals better security because of that customization."
