Emergency Response
We need to improve or increase security due to the changes in risk within the country, state and across the United States.
Being prepared is the most important part of municipality's crisis management plan. Implementing safety procedures, and practicing lock-down drills and evacuation procedures requires intense planning. Installing an access control and video management system will benefit you in the event of an emergency.
The US Department of Homeland Security recommends that every emergency response plan includes the following:
• Mitigation and prevention – conduct security assessments to identify all areas of possible risk.
• Preparedness – crisis procedures are instilled with everyone..
• Response – a crisis is the time to follow plans and make use of preparations.
• Recovery – restore the infrastructure as quickly as possible.
Card Access
Security is Not a Convenience
Security management systems instill a cultural change amount employees and citizens so risks and hazards can e instantly identified and corrected. Cameras installed in high traffic areas remind visitors they are being watched and recorded at all times. It's a documented fact that people are less likely to misbehave if they know they are being monitored.
Security conscious facilities managers rely on up-to-date technology to provide not only secure biometric and smart card credential identification and authentication, but monitoring and surveillance capabilities as well. As violence statistics rise in our local communities, having an integrated access control video management system in place will:
• Deter disruptive behavior in areas such as: parking lots, waiting areas or lobbies, libraries, parks and facility perimeters.
• Bring actions to staff attention immediately.
• Provide a recording of actions as evidence.
• Increase safety for staff and visitors at all times.
• Decrease number of aggravated assaults.
• Discourage smoking in prohibited areas.
• Minimizing risk to employees and visitors, as well as damage to county property.
• Allow utilization of employee ID photos for special projects as well as providing a higher level of control over who is being issued access and at what level.
• Integration with CCTV, Intercom and other safety & security systems.
