Volume 4 May 2016 Edition access door and gate communication. As security personnel continue to play an integral role in visitor satisfaction, authorities are contemplating the advantages tied to having multiple channels of communication for engaging with those at their locations. Simply installing a durable and visible device can go a long way to enhancing the experience from a customer service mindset, not to mention any life-threatening situations that may pose a more dire threat. This way, if you see or need something, there is a discreet way to say something. A Code Blue Emergency Light Tower, located on the Washington University Campus. By placing physical security devices in popular and visible locations, cities give their constituents a means to seek help wherever they go, whenever they need it. This gives individuals the peace of mind of a safe environment, which can go a long way toward augmenting a region’s reputation. For example, according to a study published by the International Foundation for Protection Officers, the number one reason people shopped at one place compared to another was safety. If a customer doesn’t feel safe in a store, they typically will leave and shop somewhere else – possibly in another city. Cities are devoted to protecting everyone that crosses their streets, whether they’re residents or just passing through. Security is an ever-changing landscape, forcing authorities to continually adjust and adapt to new threats and scenarios. The addition of physical security devices is one way for municipal locations to ensure people know that help is always available.
