2022 Border Protection Innovations and Technology Forum | Potomac Officers Club
WHAT
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection constantly works to stay at the forefront of innovation as the agency drives research initiatives and adopts emerging technologies to fortify the nation’s security across border checkpoints.
CBP has recently honed in on technologies including wearable cameras, non-intrusive inspection sensor systems, X-ray scanning capabilities and Pedestrian Detection-at-Range thermal scan systems to remain vigilant across the U.S. border and ensure thorough vetting processes at critical entry points.
Join the Potomac Officers Club for the platform’s Border Protection Innovations and Technologies Forum to hear from government and industry leaders as they continue to address challenges, integrate cutting-edge technology and combat foreign threats to secure the nation’s borders.
