Smiths Detection To Help Safeguard Teams, Staff And Visitors At Super Bowlâ„¢ XLVIII
Smiths Detection was awarded a contract by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to help provide security at Super Bowlâ„¢ XLVIII in East Rutherford, NJ on Sunday, 2 February.
Smiths Detection technologies will be featured as part of a layered security framework to help protect teams, staff, and visitors at the Super Bowl from a broad range of potential threats.

Our systems are already used to secure many similar U.S. venues, and being chosen for this iconic game is a particular source of pride for us."
