Security system installations in community courts

7/09/2020

Australian security designer and integrator, Western Advance with Smiths Detection, has undertaken one of the most comprehensive security system installations in community courts in Australia, officially opened this month at the Downing Centre Court Complex at Sydney.

Setting the standard for personal and physical security, the system integrates body and object scanners, thermal temperature cameras and CCTV systems.

The integrated system, designed by Western Advance, responds to the needs of the justice system to enable best practice safety protocols to be employed at courts and tribunal locations throughout New South Wales.

Western Advance General Manager - East, Peter Downy, explains the Downing Centre Court Complex security system will set the standard for courts and tribunal facilities across Australia and the Asia Pacific region.

“The Downing Centre Court Complex is one of the largest and busiest courts in Australia, and the security system must be robust enough to ensure the safety of staff and the community who use the service and facility,” Mr Downy says.

“Western Advance has installed Smiths Detection body and object scanners and x-ray machines, similar to those used at airports, at the perimeter screening point to ensure contraband, including weapons are able to be identified and the risks addressed.

“In addition to scanners, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a portable CCTV system incorporating thermal cameras which can detect elevated temperature has been deployed and integrated into the security system,” he said.
