Description

For $31,000.00 in payment authority to purchase a ScanX Scout portable digital x-ray system for the Phoenix Police Department. The Homeland Defense Bureau (HDB) Bomb Squad is responsible for identifying and mitigating potential hazardous devices. A portable, digital x-ray system for use in bomb disarming operations must enable the bomb squad to obtain x-ray images of suspected improvised explosive devices, and aid in explosive threats. The HDB Bomb Squad relies on a portable, digital x-ray system to identify and determine the makeup of contents inside boxes, bags, and packages. The overall mission of the bomb squad is to provide maximum safety for both the general public and the bomb technician when it comes to prevention, mitigation, response, and recovery of explosives, real and suspected. The purchase will be funded by the 2019 Urban Area Security Initiative Phoenix Explosive Ordinance Disposal grant program.
