CANONSBURG, Pa., Nov. 19 (UPI) -- The University of Georgia Police Department has contracted Nabco Inc. to deliver its chemical, biological and explosive threats containment system.

U.S. company Nabco was selected by the University of Georgia to deliver its 42-GT-SCS Total Containment Vessel. Officials say the TCV system is designed to provide emergency responders the ability to contain chemical and biological threats from a detonated improvised explosive device.

Nabco says the contract, which makes the University of Georgia Police Department the first U.S. college police with the technology, marks a milestone for the company.

"Nabco provides the capabilities we need to protect our students and communities against a variety of threats," Jimmy Williamson University of Georgia police chief, said in a statement.

"As one of the oldest universities in the country, we are also charged with protecting the historic buildings that are part of our heritage. The Nabco TCV gives us the ability to contain and remove a device that might otherwise cause harm to facilities and those who entrust us with their safety."
