Franklin County Courthouse & Secure ParkingSecurity Planning, Design, and EngineeringColumbus, OhioThis projectconsists ofthe design of amodern courtfacility forFranklin CountyCourthousein Columbus,Ohio. The courtsystem servesa large countypopulation withover 100,000person-visitsper year. TheCourthouse willbe occupiedby a variety ofdepartmentshavingoverlappingsecurity needs.The newstructure willbe integratedwith the existingcampus ofbuildings. Thesecurity aspectsof the integrationrequirementsinclude highvolumescreening,blast mitigationreviews, anddigital videothroughout.Professional Systems Engineering, LLC applied two key philosophies in the design of thesecurity systems. The fi rst was the concept of simple operational security. The systemdesign focused on not only providing the best level of security but also stresses a “simpleto operate” and “easy to maintain system.” PSE believes that if systems are not easyto operate, these systems will not be fully implemented. The end result of a complexsecurity system could be a breakdown in a facility’s overall level of security.Our second key philosophy was the design of integrated systems. Modern securitysystems incorporate a collection of subsystems. Traditionally, these systems would eachbe an independent standalone system. The system provided for in this project will callfor each subsystem to be interfaced in a manner which will allow the system to shareinformation and automatically respond to events.Technologies❖ IP security system❖ PLC system control in holding cells,segregated from courthouse accesscontrol system❖ Monitoring and controlled accesssystems❖ Card access protection❖ Elevator and secure corridorprotection❖ Digital television surveillance❖ Weapons detection and packagescreening❖ Interior building security for doormonitoring and control, powerbackup, interior communications,and duress monitoring stations❖ Security intercom system❖ Monitoring of critical supportsystems, such as uninterruptiblepower supplies (UPS) and fi realarms❖ Physical security control andmonitoring of exterior accessto secure parking and sallyportentrancesSystems Strategy + Technology for 25 YearsPROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, LLC Pennbrook Business Center 1010 Church Road Lansdale, PA 19446 Tel. 215-661-1600 www.profsyseng.com
