Jay Grant, Secretary General of InterPortPolice, said, "It is truly an honour to present Blighter Surveillance Systems with this distinguished award.  We do this in the remembrance of our fallen police colleagues on September 11, 2001 and those officers and officials who follow in their footsteps making the world a safer place.  Companies who excel in developing security products that assist us in our fight against terrorism are to be commended."
