The 14-mile stretch of the Delaware River bordering Delaware County, Pa. is now covered by Boeing Watchstander Integrated Security Solutions, which provides 24-hour surveillance, detection, identification and recognition at key sites.
Watchstander cameras show live activity including boat traffic along the Delaware with views of the refineries, shipping terminals, PPL Park, Commodore Barry Bridge and Harrah’s Casino and Racetrack.
Boeing got the contract to install it in July 2011. The announcement that it was online was made Oct. 16.
“Delaware County is home to refineries, two-thirds of Philadelphia International Airport is in the County, plus the Delaware River runs parallel to an interstate highway and major railroad lines, which demands that we provide the most advanced security available for this region,” said District Attorney Jack Whelan.
