The Buster Contraband Detector, also known as Buster K910B Density Meter, is technology you can trust when your job is to keep illegal drugs, weapons, currency and other contraband off the streets. The Buster, designed with direct input from United States Customs and Border Protection agents in the 1980s, was the first product manufactured by Campbell/Harris Security Equipment Company (CSECO). Today, it is still sought-after by US governmental agencies, state and local police departments as well as some international customs and law enforcement agencies because it is durable and effective.
Even though there is other contraband detection equipment available, the Buster Contraband Detector is considered to be one of the best. The main reason the Buster is so well-thought of is that it uses different technology from the other density meters. Here are some ways it is better:
- The Buster Contraband Detector uses low intensity gamma radiation along with scintillation detectors. This allows users to quickly scan vehicles, as well as homes, for contraband that is hidden. In fact, a user can obtain a positive result for contraband in less 5 minutes and a room in about 10 minutes.
- Using this technology, which differs greatly from radio wave, ultra-violet wave, microwave or millimeter wave technology that can only scan through one type of surface, the Buster Contraband Detector can scan through metal, wood, reinforced plastic and material up to a depth of 6 inches. This means the inspectors will be able confirm the presence of contraband without having to dismantle the object being searched first, which is a large change from drug interdiction and contraband detection prior to the Buster being developed.
- The Buster Contraband Detector provides two forms of alerts. There is an audible alert which is perfect for the times the Buster is being used with its telescoping stick. A hand-held display allows for visual alerts. Using the Buster, it is possible to pinpoint the location of contraband so it can be removed and kept out of the hands of would-be smugglers and drug dealers.
- A ‘dirty bomb’ detonation is all too possible these days, but the Buster Contraband Detector comes with Rad-Aware® radiation detection technology. This enables first responders to assess the area and set up a safe perimeter in case of a radioactive release or ‘dirty bomb’ detonation taking place.
CSECO also manufactures other contraband detection equipment including besides the Buster K910B Density Meter. They also manufacture the FV-Series Fiberscope which enables users to peer inside small openings and dark recesses like a fuel tank or behind heating vents in vehicles, and the CT-30 Contraband Detection Kit which includes both pieces of equipment along with other tools that make detecting contraband possible.
Training is available for every piece of contraband detection equipment that CSECO sells. The training can be held at CSECO’s facility for free, or you may choose to pay for training at your facility. You may find demonstrations of the Buster Contraband Detector and other CSECO drug interdiction equipment at local law enforcement agency trade shows throughout the year.
