All New Illuminated Under Vehicle Trolley Mirror

The need for rigorous, robust safety and security measures has never been greater. The very real and worrying threats we face mean those responsible for our safety and security have a very tough job on their hands. That’s where our all-new trolley-style illuminated inspection mirror provides invaluable assistance. Border security issues and challenges are a common feature in our news. Areas of concern include the threat of terrorism, human trafficking, people smuggling, drug trafficking and the illicit trade in weapons. In addition there are ongoing concerns over other forms of contraband including the need for plant and animal health protection. Unfortunately, while physical and financial threats have increased, border security measures haven’t kept pace. And our transport hubs aren’t the only areas facing significant security challenges. In 2017, 71 UK prison staff were found to be smuggling contraband into detention centres. According the Prison Officers Association, the UK prison drug market was estimated to be worth around £100 million per year, back in 2008. In 2019 drugs were discovered 13,119 times in prisons which equates to a staggering 35 incidents per day. The number of drug-related incidents were noted to have tripled since 2014, but drugs aren’t the only problem. Weapons are also being smuggled into prisons at increasing rates. Various devices including mobile phones and tools, as well as contraband, are often attached to the underside of vehicles coming in and out of prison premises. Prison staff and bus drivers may be totally unaware their vehicles have been used by criminals who attach their illegal, hidden payload while their vehicles were innocently parked. These examples demonstrate why there is need for a fast, effective and convenient way to thoroughly inspect the underside of automobiles and other areas that can be difficult to view.
