The Office of Homeland Security/Department of Energy has awarded a Grant to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center for Major Security Enhancements. This grant provides for enhanced security measures to ensure the safeguard of high security risk radiological materials located at the Medical Center. Some of the security enhancements include sophisticated motion detectors, high definition CCTV's, and control access iris scanners. The grant also provides for state-of-the-art monitoring and alarm capabilities within the Sheriff's Dispatch at the Medical Center.
