    Viken Detection's VALOR (Viken Assisting Law-enforcement in the Opioid Response) initiative provides free or at-cost refurbished HBI-120 handheld x-ray imagers to local, underfunded police departments.

    “As many of our law enforcement and government agencies migrate to our next-generation platform, Viken will use this opportunity to support local, underfunded police departments with our handheld technology,“ said Jim Ryan, CEO of Viken Detection. “We will either donate or provide at-cost refurbished HBI-120’s with our latest enhanced software packages.”
