Correctional Facilities

Prisons have been evolving over the last decade as have security threats the operators are encountering. As these threats have evolved, technology has to be deployed to deal with them. Smartphones, drones and other developments present new dynamics; correctional facilities must deal with these with ever decreasing resources.

Whether super, maximum, minimum or other, in today’s new or legacy prison environments, the controls provided to control room operators need to be highly efficient, simple to use and support the highest levels of security. Smart use of technology is helping forward-looking prisons to stay ahead of their task, whilst maximizing their existing security investments.

PROACTIVELY PROTECTING PERSONNEL AND MAINTAINING THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

Our work with some of the most secure prisons in the world has enabled us to understand the challenges they face and offer solutions that meet their individual requirements. Security sits at the heart of a successful prison. Supplying an overarching layer to manage all security systems, devices and sensors ensure prisons have a picture of all risks in real time that can be shared using interactive dashboards and reports. Prisons using IPSecurityCenter™ benefit from;

• Integration of vast numbers of devices, sensors and data sources configured into a single common operating picture that let operators instantly react to alerts, view inmates, locate staff and make better, faster decisions in response to incidents
• Greater collaboration between the control room and prison officers by using IPSecurityCenter’s workflow engine to create a common operating picture that increases situational awareness for faster responses
• A highly customizable user interface, which provides easy to use tools to mitigate risk, create dynamic levels of cell security monitoring based on the risk profile of individual prisoners, manage faster, smarter and safer evacuation of blocks in the event of a security or life safety incident
• Enhanced perimeter security, aggregating data from multiple systems such as drone detection, radar, analytics, lidar and CCTV
• Collaborate with partner organizations by securely sharing subsets of data; local, regional or national access to all alarms, alerts, and events from any facility, providing greater levels of oversight and control
