| Abstract | This article describes the Volpe Center's role in developing a new security system for the US Capitol. The US Capitol Police turned to the Center because of our proven capabilities as security experts. We brought to the project: our knowledge of security systems; our expertise in system design that enabled us to build structured solutions to the complex security requirements of the US Capitol building complex; and a flexible contracting capability that meant that we could respond to the unique contracting requirements of Congress. |
