DG°~af~~' Recommendation: Accommodate a system of closed circuit television cameras that are capable of visually accessing the majority of main activity centers and pedestrian passage ways. Conduit will need to be located from all stairwells, the ramp, the elevator vestibule and various locations within the garage. Accommodate a system of personal attack/duress alarm stations placed at the elevator vestibule, stairwells and at additional locations within the garage. Provide for an appropriate overhead door to secure the garage after-hours and when certain conditions exist. When the door is in the up position the specified gate arm control will be used. There should be electronic access control, closed circuit television, a motion detector to 'detect' pedestrian movement on the vehicle ramp and two-way communication at this enhy / exit location. Consideration should be given to audio detectors within the garage to capture sounds of duress. The garage concrete should be a light shade to help with visual access and surveillance. Graphics and 'wayfinding' signage are critical for pedestrian safety. Conclusion: The Marion County, Oregon - Courthouse Square building is unique in that it mixes hvo similar but separate functions. The building has already been designed without benefit of a mmprehensive security assessment. Any changes to existing design and specifications would incur additional expense. No central reception function for the Marion County, Oregon - Courthouse Square building limits the ability to control and isolate access. Keys and locks are viewed as excellent but the need for clearly defined system management is necessary. A deternlination should be made that the use of the existing electronic access control system at the new building will not create any vulnerabilities if the main control goes 'down'. The electronic access control system locations should be increased and capable of further expansion. The closed circuit television system needs to be designed and capable of being monitored at the main lobby as well as other locations. Flexibility in capturing and duplicating images is desirable. An alarm system should be installed that is capable of both intrusion detection and duress functions. Lighting on the campus, in the garage and in the building is believed to be appropriate. Landscaping on the campus will not create unnecessary risks. The parking function is of concern but with application of vehicle access controI, closed circuit television, duress alarms and proper signage risks can be minimized. The preceding recommendations are meant to mitigate vulnerabilities without disrupting design or adding expense. As the process continues additional recommendations will be made to minimize risk to staff, visitors and activities at the Marion County, Oregon - Courthouse Square building.
