What Is Mail Threat Detection?

 Mail threat detection is the identification of potentially dangerous correspondence and packages through comprehensive Secure Mail and Safe Package Handling (SMSPH) protocols. Programs often include methods like a down-draft table or negative pressure room where trained staff can more safely process suspicious items.

Threat detection helps protect a company’s reputation and workforce against rising risks — the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) reviewed over 900,000 items in 2022. This number may exclude additional incidents investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms, the FBI and local law enforcement agencies countrywide.

Advancing technology has streamlined conventional approaches, with automated solutions like Tritek’s Threat Detect Sorter offering considerable time savings and documented performance.

Nuclear and Radiological

Containers and devices holding radiologic materials go missing more often than you may think, with some experts estimating they happen as frequently as 100 times annually worldwide. Criminals could weaponize these substances, causing significant harm and costly clean-ups. We’ve leveraged our expertise to design systems capable of detecting radioactive isotopes to safeguard against the potential damage they can create.

Explosive

Pipe bombs represent the most common explosive threat, with a well-documented history through criminals like the Unabomber. These are relatively simple to make and can bypass standard security technology with the right concealment. Early identification with a proven system like ours helps mitigate risks and prevent operational disruption, panic and injury.

Biological

Many people first became aware of anthrax mail threats with the highly publicized 2001 attacks and the 2003 attempts to mail ricin. While over two decades have passed, recent occurrences show that white-powder letters remain relatively frequent. Tritek’s mail detection solution empowers your mailroom to uncover and isolate these threats quickly and effectively.
