Government buildings are now instigating measures once thought to be more commonplace at airports - such as metal detectors and bag searches. Security considerations for local government can cover a diverse range of assets, often located across a town or city. Town halls, libraries, galleries, zoos, swimming pools, parks and gardens, as well as administration buildings can all be accommodated in the one system. Cities are now installing CCTV cameras to keep watch over multiple public areas in the aim of reducing crime, theft, and damage to city property. The installations allow for ‘virtual’ patrols and footage can be used as evidence against offenders. Being public funded, scalability and future proofing is important for investment protection. |
