In today’s fast-paced world, cities face an array of security challenges across various verticals within their campuses, from police departments and fire departments to municipalities and more. Each site possesses its unique set of criteria, policies, and schedules, making it increasingly complex to manage security effectively. However, with Convergint’s partnership with Gallagher, cities are now equipped with a groundbreaking solution that not only streamlines their security infrastructure but also enhances their overall safety and efficiency.

The challenge: diverse security needs

Cities are often vast and diverse, with security needs that can range from managing as few as 14 doors to overseeing a sprawling network of over 2,000 entry points. This diversity can prove to be difficult for state and local governments. Each site may require different security protocols, and the challenge lies in unifying these disparate elements into a cohesive security system. Without an integrated approach, cities are left with a fragmented and inefficient security infrastructure that leaves them vulnerable to threats.

The solution: Gallagher’s Command Centre

Customizing security solutions

Gallagher’s Command Centre solution empowers state and local governments to tailor their security systems to meet their unique business requirements. Whether it’s a complex security ecosystem or a simpler setup, Command Centre provides a single pane of glass solution that unifies all security aspects, offering a comprehensive view of the entire city’s security landscape. Through Gallagher’s ecosystem, Command Centre ensures access control, intrusion and perimeter detection while also facilitating other areas of safety and security within a city’s operation from site management to workforce management and more.

Extensive integration capabilities

Gallagher’s integration capabilities extend beyond security, encompassing various add-ons such as Video Management Systems (VMS), printers, elevators, and more. This versatility ensures that cities can build a robust, all-encompassing security network that caters to their specific needs.

Revolutionizing access control

Gallagher also offers Bluetooth and mobile credentials with dual authentication capabilities, eliminating the need for physical keys across multiple sites, thereby providing flexibility and enhanced security for all. The adoption of mobile credentials not only enhances security but also conserves valuable time and resources, a particularly valuable asset for government entities.
