Government Security

The general public depends on government agencies to provide domestic security, and to support a wide variety of societal functions. When the security of government agencies is compromised, this can have a ripple effect throughout the entire community. Southwest Security Solutions provides comprehensive government security systems that help mitigate threats to government agencies and facilities, keep them up and running, and enabling their teams to:

Protect Against Existential Threats– Government agencies are uniquely vulnerable to escalated threats not faced in the private sector. Government facilities can be the target of terrorists, organized criminals, and random shooters, putting the lives of government officials, staff members, and the public in danger. A comprehensive security system including video surveillance, access control and 24/7 monitoring is the best defense to help protect government facilities, personnel, contractors, visitors, and the community at large.

Support Emergency Management– How government agencies respond to emergency situations is critical to maintaining community trust. A comprehensive security system helps to empower agency staff with accurate information so they can respond to threats immediately and appropriately. Our security infrastructure is designed to ensure that your government organization is never left vulnerable in an emergency.

Ensure Staff Safety– Government staff are particularly vulnerable to outside threats. That’s why it’s vital to ensure that your entire facility, from the perimeter to parking areas to internal offices, is protected by professionally installed video surveillance and access control systems. By providing a secure environment, staff can focus on meeting the needs of its constituents.

Protect Property– Many government agencies use high value technologies to protect and provide services to the public. Property loss from theft and damage can compromise these services, and can be extremely costly to taxpayers. In particular, the assets of law enforcement and the military must be safeguarded, due to the risk to public safety if these assets are misappropriated. Our government security systems are designed to deter criminals and reduce the risk of theft and burglary, and keep a watchful eye on critical inventory.

Deter Vandalism– Vandalism, from graffiti to property destruction, is difficult to remediate and costly for taxpayers. Our multi megapixel video security camera technology helps to identify and catch vandals in the act. Our video security cameras feature housings that are IK10 impact resistant, to withstand physical damage should a perpetrator attempt to disable them.

Manage Visitors– Maintaining a secure environment is critical at government facilities, military bases, and historical sites. With a professionally installed access control system from Southwest Security Solutions, you can ensure that no one has access to your facility beyond their authorization.

Improve Operational Consistency– Systems and protocol are the backbone of government agency operations. From compliance to administrative functions, staffing and recruitment, facility management, sourcing equipment and supplies, process management is critical to successful outcomes. Video security technology enables you to monitor the processes and workflow of your agency, to ensure that personnel are performing at their peak, and to identify areas for improvement.
