The sales to the state of Colorado Judicial Department will protect 14 doors in three courthouses in the La Junta, Colorado area. Sales to the Douglas County Coroner's Office in Colorado and to the Covington County Sheriffs' Department in Andalusia, Ala., will protect single doors.

The systems all employ advanced fingerprint biometrics and are designed to control access to protected areas, such as law enforcement armories and evidence rooms, and to protect highly visible people at particular risk, such as elected and appointed local officials, judges and others. Other markets include banks, information technology facilities, telecommunications facilities and other high-value economic assets.

BSI2000 CEO Jack Harper said, "These sales represent an important initial penetration of the large local law enforcement and local government markets. There have been some unfortunate violent incidents in our nation's courthouses recently, which demonstrate the need for reliable security systems in these markets. They will provide valuable reference points for our growing sales and marketing team that has identified this market as particularly receptive to our growing security product line."
