PROTECTION OF COURTHOUSES, PUBLIC BUILDINGS & DETENTION FACILITIES
Government and public facilities across the country have been subject to attack
by criminal elements, subversive groups, and individuals with destructive intent.
Detention facility administrators are continually faced with escape attempts,
civil suits, and life-safety issues.
We offer a specialized service to officials who must determine protection levels
and proper system applications. Our experienced professionals will perform a
detailed protection assessment of courtrooms, access corridors, judiciary offices,
probation departments, detention facilities, police and sheriff's department offices,
dispatch facilities, and related properties.
A detailed report, highlighting the consultant's findings, followed by direct
recommendations for improvement, is submitted following an on-site comprehensive
security evaluation. The report includes security system analysis and cost estimates
for replacements or upgrades. We are not affiliated with any vendor of products
or services. Our emphasis is on providing you with professional assistance, and
cost-effective solutions.
Metal Detection: Many facilities are utilizing metal and explosives detectors to safeguard public
access. Detectors are often manned by commissioned police officers or sheriff's
deputies. We will help you to select the best products available within your budget,
and produce reasonable procedures for manning inspection points. Should you choose
to utilize private security officers rather than commissioned officers, we will
assist with contractor selection and specifications for officer performance.
Vendor Selection: There is no need to rely on Yellow Page listings to find the proper vendor. Our selection assistance includes an in-depth qualification process, security
system design, specifications for bid, and system installation inspection.
Perimeter Protection: Our associates are experienced in the design and application of protection for
a variety of governmental facilities, including high-risk detention centers. We'll
find the gaps in your protection plan, and offer practical steps to reduce the
potential for intrusion or escape.
Certified Protection Professionals and Certified Institutional Protection Managers
