Client Overview
The Queen Anne's County Sheriff's Office plays a critical role in ensuring public safety and law enforcement across the county. To maintain a high level of security and operational efficiency, the Sheriff's Office sought a comprehensive overhaul of its access control systems. The goal was to modernize and streamline access control processes, safeguard personnel and sensitive areas, and ensure seamless operations throughout the facility.
Project Goals
The primary goal of the project was to enhance security by upgrading and expanding the access control infrastructure. This included rewiring the existing systems, installing appropriate power supplies with battery backups, and adding new access points to increase coverage across the facility. The project also focused on replacing outdated systems with modern, efficient technologies to ensure secure, user-friendly management and monitoring.
Security System Design and Implementation
The access control overhaul at the Queen Anne's County Sheriff's Office was designed to secure critical areas while providing flexibility in access management. We began by rewiring the existing systems to ensure compatibility with updated technologies, installing the necessary power supplies, and incorporating battery backup to maintain system functionality during power outages.
To enhance security, modern credential-based entry systems replaced outdated keypads and card readers. These systems provide more efficient and secure management of access throughout the facility.
In addition to upgrading existing access points, we installed a new steel security door at the intake processing entrance to strengthen physical security. Additional access control panels were added to improve the management of key areas, and we installed new electric strikes and readers to regulate entry more efficiently.
Results and Benefits
The access control overhaul significantly improved security, operational efficiency, and ease of use across the Queen Anne's County Sheriff's Office. The new system ensures that only authorized personnel can access critical areas, protecting sensitive equipment, information, and personnel.
The rewiring and power supply upgrades have enhanced system reliability, while the installation of battery backups ensures the system remains operational during power interruptions. The addition of biometric and credential-based entry systems has strengthened security by preventing unauthorized access to restricted zones.
By replacing outdated systems and introducing modern access control solutions, the Sheriff's Office benefits from better security oversight, improved audit trails, and reduced risks of unauthorized entry. The new intercom systems and added access points have streamlined the access management process, allowing security personnel to manage entry with greater ease.
