Correctional facilities require the highest level of security to ensure the safety of inmates, staff, and the public. Convergint, in partnership with Gallagher, provides perimeter protection solutions that offer reliable and quick detection of any unauthorized entry or exit from the premises. By implementing a strong and secure boundary around assets, correctional facilities can effectively discourage and identify any illicit intrusion or escape from the premises.

By improving security response capabilities, correctional facilities can decrease their reliance on guard patrols, reducing the potential for human error and generating cost savings. In addition, improved emergency management processes that protect people, property, and information on-site further strengthen security measures, promoting business continuity, and mitigating costs related to security breaches, theft, and property damage. Trust Convergint and Gallagher to provide the necessary perimeter protection solutions to secure your correctional facility.

Perimeter security solutions

Prevention—Energized pulse

Energized fences are powerful deterrents, effectively stopping trespassers or inmates from entering or leaving the premises.

  • Fully monitored fence line, attack detection, and maintenance monitoring
  • Reliable protection day and night
  • Adjustable voltages, high for maximum deterrent and low for periods of low risk
  • Configurable protection zones, adjust a site specifically to the deterrent level required

Detection—Monitored perimeter

Sensors can be used with the networked Gallagher security fence as an additional layer of detection, or for sites wanting to monitor activity without the deterrent pulse.

  • Detect intrusions or escape attempts without individuals being aware
  • Continuously measure and report on wire tension
  • Monitor fence structure vibration or movement

Management—Managed perimeter

Gallagher’s Command Centre is a powerful operator-friendly security management system.

  • Full integration between perimeter, intrusion, access control, and video management systems
  • Powerful reporting on detail such as fence voltage levels, operator use statistics, or specific zone alarm data
