*A New Security Model The benchmark for security in our society is undergoing a huge metamorphosis. The new benchmark will be, in many ways, similar to the military and federal government high-security models of security, since paramilitary style forces threaten us. ASA possesses vital experience in actually applying antiterrorism risk reduction methodologies.

Due to our extensive security systems background, we can personally perform a comprehensive Security Systems Design for the most “cost effective” solution to responsible risk reduction. Our goal is to provide “security that works” at the lowest cost. We routinely generate huge cost savings by reducing security force size while enhancing security with technology. Our model improves dramatically improves security by using electronic security equipment as a “force-multiplier.”

ASA Security System Design Experts are leading authorities on developing and implementing Electromechanical Security Systems Design Plans. ASA designed security systems have been very successful in improving security program effectiveness while minimizing reliance on expensive and often less-reliable security forces.

Using the Detect, Delay and Response methodology of developing and testing performance-based security, ASA is able to develop a security systems design strategy that will provide the utmost in flexibility for future, modular system expansion.

Integrated security system plans will include consideration of the following as a minimum:

• security system and control center infrastructure.
• access control systems.
• intrusion detection systems to alarm and protect individual work areas.
• duress alarm system--portable and fixed (panic devices).
• closed circuit TV (CCTV) and digital video archiving systems.
• information system network, telephone, microwave, or other communication
• systems based digital video systems.
• wide area surveillance systems (fence line and perimeter sensors, mobile sensor systems, video motion detection, thermal imagery, etc)
• physical, mechanical and environmental barriers (gates, bollards, berms, etc.)
