Image Vault Protects and Serves St. Paul Police — A Case StudyReleased 11-1-04The St. Paul, Minnesota, Police Department serves Minnesota’s capital city with approximately 600 sworn officers. Since the turn of the 20th century, when the department was among the first municipal departments to purchase alarm boxes to be placed on the patrolmen's beats, the department has looked for technology solutions to help fulfill their mission of ensuring the safety and security of St. Paul's people and property. In the modern age of heightened threat levels, the security around symbols of authority and government, such as a police headquarters building, is increased. After recently investing over $21 million on a new headquarters building, the St. Paul, Minnesota, Police Department sought to enhance the current level of safety at the new location by replacing a number of their high maintenance, analog-based time-lapse CCTV video recorders with digital-based video recorders provided by one of the leading vendors in the industry, Image Vault. Digital video recorders (DVRs) are essentially “computerized” video recorders. Video from standard analog cameras is captured by recorders and stored on a digital hard drive - eliminating the need for magnetic tape and permanent mass archival. DVRs include advanced data capture, alarm inputs, internal motion detection, and an array of other state of the art features. St. Paul PD is currently using the Image Vault DVR system to monitor the police headquarters building, both exterior and interior. The deployment of the Image Vault solution has worked so well, that the PD is looking to further equip the headquarters building along with other facilities and buildings of the Stipule police department with the Image Vault system. Van Carlisle, President and CEO of Image Vault, commented “there is no better-qualified endorser of the Image Vault product than a sworn law enforcement officer. Police departments can’t be worried about network management, maintenance, and uptime,” he continued. “Superior technology helps free up resources and personnel, which in turns keeps officers on the street doing police work.” According to Officer Jeff Jacobson, speaking for the St. Paul, Minnesota,
Police Department, “We would highly recommend the Image Vault system
to other police departments looking to upgrade or increase their security.” |
