Municipal access control is an essential for governmental buildings in Chicago and Northwest Indiana. Some think that government buildings are open to the public, but there are areas that are off-limits to unauthorized visitors. We’re talkin’ the sensitive rooms with classified documents, high-tech equipment, and exclusive access to the good coffee. In other words, the places where the real work gets done. Over the past decade we’ve seen an exponential increase in pranksters, and streamers entering governmental buildings for content. Trends where groups rush into secure facilities on live to record confidential proceedings and interrupt the peace of the workplace. Freedom of Information Act seekers push their way into the office without a dedicated guide. These are all security risks; security strategists must consider for a building with vital public resources. A central defense mechanism to these disruptions is a robust access control system designed for intricacies of your facility.
With the right access control system, cities and counties can protect their government buildings from unwanted guests. Further these systems prevent theft, vandalism and keep valuable assets secure.
Four reasons why access control is essential for local government buildings:
- Keep Assets Safe: Whether it’s expensive equipment or confidential documents, access control can help protect your assets from theft, damage, or unauthorized access. Plus, you can keep track of who enters and exits the building and when.
- Video-surveillance Integration: Our access control solutions like Brivo and Paxton include an integrated video surveillance system that keeps all administration controls in one centralized location. These integrated systems ensure video coverage of every entry point into the facility.
- Ensure Public Safety: Government buildings such as police stations, emergency management centers, and courthouses are safe places for victims and persons in distress but require secure access control systems to prevent unauthorized entry and ensure public safety.
- Improve Operational Efficiency: With access control, authorized personnel can move freely within the building and access the resources they need without delay or interruption. This can help streamline building operations and improve efficiency. Infinity Technologies takes a consultive approach that can design pathways in the facilities employees can use to traverse efficiently through the building.
