Convergint and Verkada Partner to Empower Local Municipalities

Municipalities face increasingly complex challenges in maintaining public safety, protecting critical infrastructure, and optimizing operations. Convergint has partnered with Verkada to address the specific needs of local governments with innovative, scalable, and reliable technology. This partnership enables municipalities to modernize their security operations balance privacy considerations, and optimize resources effectively.

El Dorado County highlights how municipalities can benefit from Verkada’s innovative solutions. Spanning 1,800 square miles, the county faced difficulties with fragmented technology and disconnected security systems. By unifying its security operations with Verkada’s platform, the county significantly improved efficiency and achieved measurable results.

Tonya Digiorno, Director of IT for El Dorado County, shared that Verkada’s user-friendly, scalable solutions streamlined security operations, allowing the county to allocate resources efficiently and focus on protecting its communities and natural assets.

4. Emergency Preparedness: The Command platform equips first responders with real-time tools for threat detection and incident response.
5. Community Safety: Cameras and environmental sensors enhance the security of parks, libraries, and community centers by detecting unusual activity and monitoring air quality.
