by Ann Withanee — March 23, 2011—Mulligan Security, a New York City-based provider of security services, announced the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has designated its security services as a “Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology” (QATT) under the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (the SAFETY Act).
This technology includes physical security services that deter, prevent, detect, alert, and respond to a variety of security threats and the processes used to recruit, hire, train, and manage the qualified personnel who perform the services, Mulligan Security explains.
The SAFETY Act was written to ensure that the threat of litigation and liability does not deter producers of anti-terrorism products and/or services from developing and commercializing technologies that could save lives. The Act creates certain liability limitations for producers of QATTs and their customers for claims arising from acts of terrorism where the designated technologies have been deployed.
Founded almost two decades ago, Mulligan provides its security services to prime high-rise commercial buildings, major corporate facilities, and adjacent critical infrastructure in New York City and surrounding areas. These services include the provision of unarmed security officers who are also specially trained as Fire Guards, Fire Safety Directors and/or Managers and Emergency Action Plan Directors.
More information is available on the Mulligan Web site.
