Government Security News Announces B.I.G. Enterprises as a Winner in the Category of Very best Perimeter Protection Item in GSNs 2011 Homeland Security Awards Competition
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 30, 2011
A huge audience of federal, state, county, municipal officials, active and retired military officers and vendors of IT and physical security items gathered in the grand ballroom of the JW Marriott Hotel in Washington, DC, last month, to witness Government Security News announce the names of the winners in more than 45 separate homeland security categories, including B.I.G. Enterprises, http://www.bigbooth.com which was named a winner in the Very best Perimeter Protection Product category.
The awards had been handed out at a gala dinner and awards ceremony, exactly where the distinguished and upbeat crowd celebrated the outstanding achievements of security vendors and government agencies.
We had a top rated-notch group of entries and finalists this year, so its a actual honor to have been selected as a winner, said Jacob Goodwin, the editor-in-chief of Government Security News, who served as emcee at the awards banquet. He urged everybody in the ballroom to take into account entering the competition in 2012.
Winners received inscribed trophies to honor their achievements.
Government Security News was proud to bestow honors on such a deserving group of recipients, stated Adrian Courtenay, managing partner of Globe Company Media, LLC, the corporate parent of Government Security News.
The 2011 B.I.G. Ultimate Ballistic & Blast Resistant Enclosure (BBRE) was honored as a Winner in the Ideal Perimeter Protection Product category by the judges of the Government Security Awards.
Built to the highest level of ballistic and blast resistance accessible, B.I.G.s Ultimate BBRE has custom locking slide sort gun ports, a ductless split system HVAC with low ambient temperature feature, and windows and doors manufactured and installed to enable the guard to respond even after a severe blast occurs close to the installation place.
Operating extensively with leading ballistics engineers and suppliers of ballistic resistant materials, B.I.G. employs highly specialized materials such as fiberglass composites and armor-plated steel on their custom steel booths to attain the highest level of blast resistance in the market.
The dinner was also highlighted by the presentation of the first annual GSN/Raytheon Award for Distinguished Leadership and Innovation in Public Safety and Security to Admiral Thad Allen (USCG-Ret.), who led the federal efforts to respond to last years BP oil spill, and had earlier served as Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard.
Admiral Allen genuinely personifies the values of the GSN/ Raytheon Award, said Courtenay. He not only served his country in the course of a lengthy career with the Coast Guard, but then stepped up for the duration of two moments of extreme crisis and helped guide the nation by way of these catastrophes in a thoughtful and steadfast manner.
