HOUSTON, Sept. 19, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Labwire Inc. (Pink Sheets:LBWR) announced today that the company has deployed additional canine surveillance and security teams to oil and gas refineries and chemical facilities in Norco, La. The deployment is the result of an effort to restore order and provide enhanced security to these plants in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, which has devastated the surrounding areas.
Labwire's subsidiary, Workplace Screening Services, currently provides canine bomb detection and surveillance services under a contract currently in place with a leading oil and gas corporation. The company will utilize the assistance of supplemental outsourced canine surveillance teams to perform various security-related tasks for the foreseeable future.
Dexter Morris, President of Labwire, commented, "We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to all victims of Hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of this natural disaster, it is necessary to greatly increase the presence of our canine teams for extra security and surveillance at our Norco facilities under contract. The versatility of our Labwire platform will ensure that there is no change in the schedule of operational audits or reports and that all extra surveillance is tracked and accounted for in an efficient manner.
