Perimeter Security

 The perimeter system provides the first layer of security at the NIH Bethesda campus.  It is at the perimeter where everyone will have their ID’s checked and their vehicles, bags, and person will undergo the appropriate security checks, as necessary.  Perimeter security includes the perimeter fence, badge accessed employee entrances, secured visitors entrances and Commercial vehicle Inspection station.  These posts are manned by contracted security guards, police officers and/ or security technicians.
