Portland, Ore. (PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -- TV Station News 14 Carolina recently aired a news report on how the RAPIDGate® Program streamlines access for qualified contractors who require routine access onto Fort Bragg. The report by Ilin Chen features local construction company McCarty Corporation, which has approximately 120 workers who use RAPIDGate badges as credentials to request entry onto the installation.

The report quotes McCarty Corporation project safety supervisor Antoneli Caddle as saying "You pull up, show your badge, and you're in. For the money, it's worth it."

The RAPIDGate Program will be especially important to McCarty Corporation employees after July 8, 2007. On that date, according to the report, changing security measures will require all vehicles without military decals to be searched. These changes will further increase waiting times for non-military personnel who attempt to access Fort Bragg without a RAPIDGate badge.

The report includes information about how the RAPIDGate Program works to improve security at Fort Bragg by screening and badging authorized non-military personnel, allowing security forces to focus on individuals who do not have military or RAPIDGate credentials. "Those people represent a larger threat to us," explains a Fort Bragg spokesperson.
