WILMINGTON, Mass., July 19, 2024 /CNW/ - Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. ("Liberty" or the "Company") (TSXV:SCAN) (OTCQB:LDDFF) (FRANKFURT: LD2A), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, is pleased to announce that its HEXWAVE system was selected by Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to screen staff and visitors who enter correctional facilities.

The TDCJ is responsible for the supervision of approximately 155,000 incarcerated inmates.
