If there’s one sector that should serve as a shining example of efficient security operations, it would be local law enforcement, explains Ken Ousey, Regional Sales Manager, Traka Americas.
Perhaps more so than any other organisation, police departments need to have the tools and resources in place to operate effectively and respond to emergencies.
That starts with the physical infrastructure within the police station, which is the backbone of operations and a central hub for all activity. These facilities represent an intriguing case study of how the proper equipment can empower officers to protect and serve, and conversely, how not having the right technology can impede their ability to operate.
Police departments are a direct reflection of their community; as cities grow, so too does their law enforcement. That requires many departments to renovate existing facilities or build new ones that incorporate more modern technology. Despite this constant evolution, one aspect of operations often gets overlooked, both in existing and new police stations: Key management.
