Checks and Balances

摘要

"The [security] industry has evolved from one dependent on manpower to one dependent on technology," says Bill McGinty, project development engineer, Johnson Controls, Simi Valley, CA. In addition to traditional locks and guards, there is background checking, closed-circuit television, smart cards, biometric readers, and more. Along with the increase in sophisticated security systems, there has also been increased awareness on the part of building owners, facilities managers, security directors, security consultants, and human resources managers - and a greater willingness to communicate and share information.
