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 within 2 weeks following an on-site evaluation. The report includes 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, system design, specifications for bid, and 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.
