VALENCIA, CALIF.
- January 27, 2005 - Delta Scientific, the leading manufacturer of counter-terrorist
vehicle control systems used at 5,000 sites in the United States and internationally,
today announced that Harry Dickinson, founder and President, received a Commendation
issued by the County of Los Angeles at the Tech Week '05 Awards Reception held
Thursday, January 20 at the Antelope Valley Community College in Lancaster.
Los Angeles County boasts the highest concentration of engineers, scientists,
mathematicians and skilled technicians in the nation. It also has the largest
population (10,103,000 as of January 2004) of any county in the nation and is
exceeded by only eight states.
Presented by Paul Novak, Deputy to L.A. County Supervisor Mike Antonovich, the
commendation is "In recognition of the dedicated service to the affairs
of the community and for the civic pride demonstrated by numerous contributions
for the benefit of all the citizens of Los Angeles County."
Introduced by Professor John E. Karayan of Cal Poly Pomona, Dickinson showed
crash test videos of Delta Scientific barriers and bollards stopping vehicles
weighing as much as 15,000 pounds and going 50 miles per hour dead in their
tracks. The company has supplied its counter-terrorist barricade systems to
over 160 U.S. embassies and consulates in 130-plus countries as well as those
of the United Kingdom and other nations. In the United States alone, Delta has
secured over 110 Federal buildings, including courthouses and FBI locations.
Over 85 percent of all U.S. nuclear power plants are protected by Delta vehicle
barricade systems. The U.S. Air Force and Navy protect their bases around the
globe with Delta products.
Delta Scientific systems protect the U.S. Capitol and other Washington landmark
buildings, high-rises throughout the world, Broadway pedestrians in New York
City, corporate facilities, the Singapore parliament, power and water infrastructure
locales, European castles and the private homes of celebrities and influential
people in Beverly Hills and other upscale communities.
Technology Week is an annual event sponsored by Los Angeles County to highlight
technology matters and firms.
