Four FBI fingerprint cards were required per applicant. This 300 percent increase in state-mandated fingerprinting siphoned off 25 percent of the security staffâ€s work time, and 50 percent of employees†orientation time. The NVMHI security chief doubled the fingerprinting staff to simultaneously fingerprint two applicants at a time. However, today's increasingly troublesome fingers still doubled the required fingerprinting time. http://www.gsnmagazine.com/cms/features/case-studies/531.html February 28, 2008 Company Name: Videx Inc. Corvallis, OR Name of Customer: Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority Cleveland, OH The Problem: Securing fare boxes on buses The transit authority in Greater Cleveland had a problem with lost and stolen keys to the fare boxes on its buses. A review of the collection reports indicated that a significant amount of money, mostly bills, was not making it to the bank. Although there was no way to detect if the missing keys were being used to raid the fare boxes, their absence provided a wide hole in loss prevention efforts. Re-keying the boxes with conventional locks might provide a temporary fix to the problem, but that would only last until the next key was misplaced or stolen. Once again, the security of the system would be compromised. The real dilemma was determining if the losses were a result of missing keys, or if issued keys were being used to breach the fare boxes. http://www.gsnmagazine.com/cms/features/case-studies/525.html February 26, 2008 Company Name: Ameristar Fence Products Tulsa, OK Name of Customer: Ontario International Airport Ontario, CA (Part of Los Angeles World Airports) The Problem: Ontario International Airport wanted to meet a federal mandate requiring an 8-foot fence with a barrier in the public access areas that was aesthetically more pleasing and structurally stronger than a traditional chain link fence. Other airports had spent millions of dollars raising 6-foot and 7-foot fences to the required 8-foot height, but their taller chain link fences offered little added deterrence against intrusion. http://www.gsnmagazine.com/cms/features/case-studies/493.html February 14, 2008 Company name: L-1 Identity Solutions, Inc. Name of Customer: Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (MN BCA) The Problem: The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) wanted a Live Scan solution for criminal booking that would be capable of capturing highly-detailed data from the entire hand, not just the fingerprint, all in one pass. http://www.gsnmagazine.com/cms/features/case-studies/471.html February 7, 2008 Company name: Ross & Baruzzini Name of Customer: Emergency Operations Center (EOC), San Antonio, TX The Problem: When a public bond issue was passed in 2003 for a new, joint-use Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in San Antonio, the challenge was to create a state-of-the-art facility that was prepared to respond to catastrophic, all-hazard events. But equally important was facilitating the seamless integration and operation of previously independent city, county, regional, state and federal emergency management personnel. http://www.gsnmagazine.com/cms/features/case-studies/216.html December 2, 2007 To download CASE STUDY: CLICK HERE http://www.gsnmagazine.com/cms/features/case-studies/223.html December 2, 2007 To download CASE STUDY: CLICK HERE http://www.gsnmagazine.com/cms/features/case-studies/213.html December 1, 2007 To download CASE STUDY: CLICK HERE
