here it comes to maintaining
security and safety for those behind
bars along with associated
staff and visitors, one integration
company in particular is raising the bar.
STANLEY Security's expertise in securing
prisons and jails - and its portfolio of more
than 800 successful projects completed in the
correctional facilities space - uniquely positioned
the integrator to take on the challenges
of installing and integrating comprehensive
modern security systems within a new inmate
housing facility in Laurel County, Ky. Th e fi rm
also provides ongoing maintenance for in excess
of 200 such clients.
" Most security vendors are trying to keep
people out of a building. Our corrections vertical
sees us trying to keep people inside and also
prevent unauthorized people/items from entering
the building. It makes for a unique situation
and design of the security electronics system, "
says STANLEY Security Sales Engineer
Matt Hildebrand, who has 16 years' experience
serving the corrections market.
After working solely from a 250-bed building
for the past 28 years, Laurel County decided
to build a new 110,000-square-foot correctional
facility with 664-bed capacity to house
the bulk of its inmate population. Th e previous
jail's smaller size had led to overcrowding issues.

Security Sales & Integration JULY 2021
2020, jail administrators wanted to have stateof-the-art
security solutions installed and ready
to monitor and protect hundreds of inmates,
staff and visitors. Th e ultimate goal was to install
and integrate video surveillance and other
systems into a common platform to streamline
jail operations.
" Th e project consisted of integrating many
diff erent systems into one seamless control
point, " adds Hildebrand. " What made this
project unique was getting all the diff erent
systems working together into one integrated
solution. Total system integration proved crucial
in maintaining a healthy and safe environment
during the COVID-19 pandemic. "
STANLEY Security worked with the owner,
architect and security consultant to deliver
a high-tech solution that includes a central
control station able to control/monitor all
doors throughout the facility, answer any intercom
station, communicate through all paging
speakers, view and monitor any camera in
the facility, respond to duress alarms, and turn
on/off any utility such as water valves, inmate
phones, TVs and lights.
Let's take a closer look at this project and
why it was named the 2021 SSI Integrated Installation
of the Year.
