Detecting threats in train stations without compromising citizens’ privacy.

Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services – 

Surface transportation such as subway systems can be a unique security challenge due to the large crowds of travelers and the open, unstructured environment. Public safety officials (including mass transit operators, mass transit police, and state and federal law enforcement teams) need a capability to detect potential threat items on persons and in bags without negatively impacting the speed of travel. 

How do we detect terror threats in train stations without searching people or compromising their privacy? 

A video algorithm detects bags left behind and cutting-edge video forensic tools are some of the technologies used to secure train stations and protect the traveling public.

One of the most significant advantages of having security guard services is the visible deterrence they provide. Their presence alone discourages potential troublemakers and criminals from engaging in unlawful activities. 

Knowing that trained security personnel are on site sends a powerful message that inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.

Government security agencies are often stretched thin, focusing on broader security concerns. Private security guards, on the other hand, can concentrate solely on the safety and security of the transportation facility and its passengers. This specialization enhances their effectiveness as deterrents.

Private Security Guards Have Become a Last Resort for Public Safety

Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services – 

The rampant and uncontrolled criminal activity throughout New York State. It’s unacceptable. Robberies are happening in broad daylight, smash-and-grabs, flash mobs, and criminals filling garbage bags with stolen goods are now common. 

Eventually, businesses will be forced to shut down because they won’t be able to ensure the safety of their employees or customers.

 

Despite the weak on crime policies it’s our priority at NEXGEN Protection to do our part to ensure the safety of employees and the public when on the job.
