First Responder Training
The Sacramento Police Department conducted one of many hands-on training sessions at Golden 1 Center on Tuesday night. Members of the SWAT, K9 and EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) units were all in attendance to familiarize themselves with the new building and surrounding area.
“It’s very important that our officers are acclimated to the environment that they’re going to be working in,” said Police Sergeant Bryce Heinlein. “It’s a very large building and we need to be able to make sure that we can move fluidly and quickly from one end to another.”
It Really Is The Best Arena In The World
Golden 1 Center already has a reputation for being the most technologically advanced venue on the globe, and it hasn’t even opened yet.
Among many other partnerships, Golden 1 Center became the first venue in the world to install wideband multi-mode fiber – a network technology that will connect fans at ridiculously high speeds.
Supplied by CommScope, the network is capable of delivering data at rates of 100 gigabits per second. That’s the highest speed in the world.
