What Integrators Must Understand About Public-Private Partnerships
There is change in the air as public law enforcement and private security are increasingly no longer operating in silos.
Security threats these days are not just tricky; they are relentless. Coordinated attacks including retail theft rings, workplace violence, disappearing cargo and challenging public event security demand quick reactions, clearer communication and smarter ways to share information.
Police departments nationwide are stretched thin as they are chasing rising calls for service with less staff and fewer resources. The job keeps getting bigger, but their toolbox is not.
Fortunately, there is change in the air as public law enforcement and private security are increasingly no longer operating in silos. The old routine where security integrators install and monitor systems then handle alarms, with law enforcement responding only after something goes awry, does not meet the security needs of today’s world.
