HI SEC Secures Lothian and Borders Police

Scotland’s Second Largest Police Force Installs ThorGuard

Scotland’s eight police forces protect a country rich in heritage, tradition and crime. Lothian and Borders (L&B), established in 1975, is the second largest police force in Scotland and protects Edinburgh city centre and the surrounding areas all the way to the southern borders.

L&B’s 62 police stations were using a standard lock and key to secure their buildings, which brought with it several security issues. L&B needed to standardize on one system throughout the police force that was not only secure, but future proof. Inspector Brian Wilson, for L&B led a team to review different security systems and their cost implications. HI SEC’s ThorGuard Security Management System was chosen because it is a truly integrated system of access control, intrusion and CCTV. L&B also found the close relationship between CaleyLock, the installing integrator and HI SEC beneficial. Read more...

Visualize Your Community

Cities don’t sleep. Local municipality facilities need to keep around-the-clock watch over main entrances, exterior parking lots and interior areas. A comprehensive security management plan that includes a sophisticated video management system, allows staff to have “eyes” in many places without having a physical presence. This eliminates manned positions and allows allocation of these bodies to more productive locations while monitoring all entrances with the video surveillance and access control system. Video can show a situation and allow it to be prevented before it happens, or even better yet, deter the event all together. Read more...
