Handheld X-Ray Imaging Systems for DIRAN

3/26/26 - Q&A Document posted in Attachments.

The mission of the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) is to minimize the impact of international crime and illegal drugs on the United States, its citizens, and partner nations by providing effective foreign assistance and by fostering global cooperation. A key component of this mission in Colombia is assisting the Colombian Counter Narcotic Police (DIRAN) in establishing capable and effective inspections to export cargo where drugs can be hidden by the drug trafficking organizations. DIRAN works 24/7 inspections at all Colombian seaports and international airports where portable X-Ray scanners become a very useful tool for inspecting boxes and different type of cargo before it is approved for up loading in container vessels and cargo airplanes. These devices are also used for inspecting air carriers leaving Colombia where drugs are usually placed by the traffickers, and for inspecting vehicles where drugs or other contraband can be in hidden compartments.
