Comments on Uniformed Security
A bad image is worse than no security…
Poor training reflects poor management…
YOU are liable for the actions of your officers…contract or otherwise
Your safety may depend on daily preventive
measures AND appearance…
Electronic Protection What do you REALLY need? How do you select a RELIABLE vendor? How can you be sure you’re getting what
you’re paying for? What are minimal requirements for
service and maintenance? How do you train employees to monitor
and respond?
What do we REALLY need? Addressable Fire Detection System Commercial Intrusion Detection System Computer Network Based Video
Surveillance System Wireless Panic/Duress Transmitters Electronic Access Control System (optional) Electronic Article Surveillance System
(optional)
How do you select a RELIABLE Vendor?
Talk to other libraries Prepare a list of system objectives…or Request professional system design and
distribute RFP to qualified bidders Conduct mandatory pre-bid site visit Review professional submittals
How can you be sure you’re getting what you pay for?
Have submittals reviewed by professional NOT connected to any vendor
Insist on mid-installation and post installation inspection by independent professional
Prepare punch list BEFORE signing off on acceptance of system(s)
What are minimal requirements for service and maintenance?
100% Warranty on System and Installation
Consistent service based on manufacturer’s requirements
Documented proof of service Regular testing by library staff…with
accompanying documentation
How do you train employees to monitor and respond?
Determine daily task requirements Publish Operations Manual for System
operations, monitoring, response Include vendor training in installation
contract Conduct regular operator training on all
