Agenda Title: Pre-project Review for the Police and Courts Security System Replacement Project
Summary
The Broomfield Police and Combined Courts building was constructed in 2001 and remodeled in phases between 2010 and 2012.
The existing security system encompasses cameras, recording equipment, panic buttons, card readers, intercoms and monitoring systems throughout the building.
As part of the first remodel in 2010, additional equipment was installed to make the new areas functional and the software was rewritten to a non-proprietary platform.
The current system has failed on multiple occasions in the last few years leaving the building security inoperable.
The existing camera and recording system is analog with poor quality pictures with cumbersome data retrieval.
Pennell Consulting, Inc., was hired to complete a master plan which reviewed the existing equipment and gave recommendations on repairs versus replacements. Most of the equipment has exceeded its life expectancy of five to seven years, with a few items in the 10 to 15 year range. The Master Plan report is included as Attachment 1.
The conclusion of the report is that the current electronic security systems, implementations, and wiring are not compliant with current codes and standards, or current best practices. The recommendation is to completely replace the system. The software diagrams and logic developed for the programming in the 2010 remodel is to be retained.
Given their knowledge of the building’s current system, Pennell Consulting, Inc., was hired to design the replacement system.
The 2016 CIP budget has funding to replace the security system. Staff is assuming a total project estimate for construction of $386,400.
The next step is to bid the project. Staff anticipates the award of a Construction Agreement will be presented to Council in April 2016. If approved, work on site will take place in May and June.
Prior Council Action Council authorized funds in the CIP budget for the Police and Courts Security System Replacement Project.

Executive Summary
The existing electronic security systems at the combined Broomfield Police/Courts facility are nearing the end of its
useful life, and, as such, the facility initiated this study to investigate alternatives for modernizing/replacing the
existing electronic security systems and providing a master plan for an upgrade path for all systems, including
scope, budgeting, and phasing. Input and history regarding the electronic security system initial installation,
upgrades, reconfiguration, and system operation was obtained from the following people at the City and County of
Broomfield: Katherine Horne, CIP Project Manager; Rhett Newbold, Sergeant; Brian Vockel, MPO; Tom Hartmann,
Commander. Their input and background information regarding existing and desired system functions are detailed
in this report.
The goal of this master plan is to survey the combined Police/Courts facility security systems, identify systems in
need of upgrade or replacement, identify anticipated needs based on our industry experience, provide budgetary
estimating for each of the surveyed systems, and provide a risk deficiency matrix to help prioritize the annual
budgeting requests in upcoming years. Detailed site investigations of the facility, operational review with County
officers, and review of the work performed by previous contractors have all been incorporated into the findings
and recommendations of this report.

System History and Physical Configuration
General Information
The City and County of Broomfield Combined Police/Courts Building (facility) was constructed in 2002 to address
the security needs of the newly formed City and County entity, and is located at 7 DesCombes Drive, Broomfield,
CO 80020 (Police), and 17 DesCombes Drive, Broomfield, CO 80020 (Courts). The 64,610 SF facility currently
houses five courtrooms, judge’s chambers, offices for district attorneys, and is equipped with a card access-based
electronic security system to secure entryways, corridors and elevators during prisoner transfers and daily
activities. Holding cells, interview rooms, evidence storage, crime lab, police offices and a sally port are also
located in this facility to facilitate transfer and temporary detainment of inmates from the Detention Center for
their court appearances.
Multiple tenant improvement projects have been complete since the facility opened in 2002; however, the major
components of the electronic security system have remained largely intact. The original electronic security
system, a combination of an access-control system and PLC-based HMI system were completed by Easter-Owens
of Arvada, CO. Subsequent major upgrades, including a 2009 sally port addition, a 2011 police department security
checkpoint remodel, and a 2011/2012 court remodel were completed by Sierra Detention Systems of Brighton, CO.
Sierra Detention Systems has been the primary provider of system maintenance calls and ancillary work in order to
keep the electronic security system operational as the systems have continued to age.
System Layout
Control Positions & Workstations
There are currently three active HMI control positions in the facility, two located in the Dispatch Room PD-217, and
one located at the Vestibule PD-100. The Dispatch Room control stations include a mouse-driven, CPU-based
control system utilizing InduSoft SCADA software for graphic maps. These two control stations in Dispatch are
used primarily after-hours or in the event the Court Security control station is responding to an incident elsewhere
in the facility. Also included at the Dispatch control stations are an intercom master station, a CCTV call-up
monitor, and a CCTV camera control keyboard. The Court Security control station (the primary control position in
the facility) utilizes the same mouse-driven, CPU-based control system with InduSoft SCADA software and an
intercom master station with two sequenced 9-view CCTV monitors, and two CCTV call-up monitors with a CCTV
camera control keyboard. The Court Security control station also has a 16-view CCTV monitor to view the CCTV
system at the adjacent Broomfield Civic Building.
An access control badging workstation and printer are located in the Security Officer room PD-107. Two ceiling-
mounted legacy CCTV monitors are located in the Watch Office Vestibule PD-129, and one in Report Writing Room
PD-122. None of these legacy monitors are operational. A CCTV video workstation computer is also located at
Watch Office Vestibule PD-129, and is not operational as no monitor or PTZ keyboard to view or control cameras.
There is also a quad-view CCTV monitor on the wall in the judge’s area near Courtroom #4, as well as an additional
quad-view CCTV monitor at the judge’s bench in Courtroom #4 (room C-218).
Wire management, equipment placement, and ergonomic considerations for each control position and
workstation will require consideration as the current layout has caused equipment failure in the past due to
unplugged cords/cables, and is not conducive to prolonged use by an operator.
The following photos show the current condition of each equipment location described above. Refer to Appendix
‘A’ for a detailed facility equipment and device layout.

Equipment Locations
All electronic security system head-end components are located in Sprinkler Room B002 in the basement level of
the facility. Wiring from all field devices is routed to this location, in many cases through the adjacent
Communication Room B004, through a wire chase closet in Secure Vestibule C-152 on level 1, and through an
island wall in the Clerks’ Open office are C-108. Components include a large access control enclosure, and large
PLC/door control enclosure, and a single full-size rack that houses the CCTV equipment. There is also a CCTV
workstation and PTZ keyboard on a folding table at this location, which serves as the only recorded video review
workstation in the facility. There is no UPS battery backup system to protect the equipment from a power outage.

Access Control System
System Description
The current access control system consists of a Bosch ReadyKeyPro system that appears to have installed as part of
the Courts remodel project, and is also installed at the Detention Center facility. This system is no longer sold or
supported by the manufacturer, and is past its useful operational life, yielding ongoing maintenance and repair
issues for the facility. No UPS battery backup units are currently installed for this system.
The following sections describe the current condition of each portion of this system described above. Refer to
Appendix ‘A’ for a detailed facility equipment and device layout.
Current Condition
Workstations
A single badging workstation is located in the Security Officer Room PD-107 on the first level. All system
administration, badging, and maintenance is provided from this single CPU. The badging printer is in good
condition, and the CPU running Windows 7 is also fully operational; however, the facility expressed concern
regarding the ease of operation and administration of this system.
7(e) - Page 7
City and County of Broomfield Police/Courts Building Security Master Plan
Electrical and Electronics Systems Engineering Page 6
Head-end Equipment
All head-end equipment for the access control system is located in Sprinkler Room B002 in the basement in a
single enclosure. Bosch RKP-DRI door control boards, International Power & Phoenix power supplies, and wiring
terminations/terminal blocks are located in this single vented enclosure with a single 120V duplex outlet. The door
control boards and International Power power supplies are at the end of their 3-5 year life span and, while in good
condition, will be more susceptible to failure in the coming years. The installation of equipment in this enclosure is
orderly and well-spaced; however, the power distribution and power cable management is in violation of NEC
code, particularly regarding the requirement for Class 1 and Class 2 wiring separation.
Bosch RKP-DRI Door Control Board Power Supplies, Distribution & Cable Management
Field Devices
Indala 125MHz card readers are installed at all access control openings in the facility. Many door control locations
also have an audible local alarm to alert courtroom occupants should unauthorized access occur. In most locations
where back-to-back card reader devices are installed on each side of an opening, presentation of a card to the
reader on the occupant side will actually be scanned by the reader on the opposite side of the opening. Due to
varying access and security levels of individuals, this presents an operational issue regarding the passage of
occupants through openings, and also eliminates the possibility of tracking the usage/path of travel for individual
card holders.
All card access doors in the facility utilize commercial-grade doors and hardware, as is typical in a combined
police/courts facility. Many openings have a card reader device on one side, with keyed or free-egress hardware
on the opposite side. While this configuration is acceptable (and often required by fire egress code requirements),
not all openings have the appropriate HMI or access control programming, and alarm locally and on the HMI
control screens when an occupant travels through these openings. This creates numerous nuisance alarms that
degrade the perception of system reliability with both occupants and security operators. Utilization of long-range
card readers on the courtroom side of the door at these locations for ease of egress will be required.

Wiring & Infrastructure
The existing system infrastructure and wiring has been modified multiple times by a number of entities/technicians
and does not meet industry standards. Multiple splice points in each wire run, often not located in a J-box or other
required enclosure, are present throughout the system. Most wiring is not labeled at the termination point/access
control cabinet, and is rarely labeled at splice points utilizing wire nuts. These wiring conditions have led to an
increase in system/device failures, and also an increase in the amount of technician time required to diagnose and
remedy an issue. These issues will continue to increase in frequency and severity until new wiring/infrastructure is
provided for this system.

Proposed Recommendations � Provide new access control head-end equipment, including power supplies and door control boards
� Replace all existing reader devices with standard HID devices to mitigate false reads on the incorrect side
of the opening, including long-range readers at locations where building occupants routinely enter
carrying equipment and supplies, and at the judge’s entry area at the back of the courtrooms
� Replace all existing system wiring to eliminate the ongoing system connection issues
� Provide a new access control workstation and badging station compatible with the new access control
system
� Provide a local UPS system for head-end equipment and workstations for a 15-minute system battery
backup
� Obtain an ongoing maintenance plan during and after the system warranty period to ensure an
anticipated system life of 5-7 years (anticipated system life of 3-5 years without maintenance)
CCTV System
System Description
The current CCTV system consists of analog Bosch components, including DiBos DVR recorders, a Bosch Allegiant
matrix switcher, Bosch quad and multiplexer units, and a Pelco signal distribution unit. While the Bosch Allegiant
matrix switcher is still manufactured and supported by Bosch, the DiBos recording solution is no longer sold or
supported by Bosch. This system appears to have installed as part of the Courts remodel project, and was an
industry-standard system for function and reliability at the time of its installation, but is past its useful operational
life, yielding ongoing maintenance and repair issues for the facility. No UPS battery backup units are currently
installed for this system.
The system operators and administrators reported recurring issues reviewing and exporting recorded video when
incidents occur. This could be due to a number of factors, including limited operator training, system
configuration, the lack of a battery backup system to retain system settings, or inadequate system
architecture/infrastructure.
The following sections describe the current condition of each portion of this system described above. Refer to
Appendix ‘A’ for a detailed facility equipment and device layout.
Current Condition
Workstations
Two CCTV workstations are located in the facility – one at the Watch Office Vestibule Room PD-129, and one in
Sprinkler Room B002. The station at the Watch Office Vestibule is not operational, and consists only of a CPU with
no keyboard or screen. The workstation in the basement is the primary location for reviewing and exporting
recorded video. This workstation is operational but in a degraded condition, and is actually only a consumer-grade
KVM switch connected to each of the DVR units installed in the equipment rack. There is also a PTZ control
keyboard at this location for live viewing of cameras through a 9-view monitor connected directly to the CCTV
matrix in the equipment rack.
A single call-up CCTV monitor with a PTZ keyboard are located at each Dispatch control station, along with two call-
up monitors at the Court Security control station with a single PTZ keyboard. The Court Security control station
also has two call-ups monitors. Two static quad-view CCTV monitors are located near Courtroom #3.

Basement Room B002 CCTV Workstation Watch Office PD-129 CCTV Workstation
Head-end Equipment
All head-end equipment for the CCTV system is located in Sprinkler Room B002 in the basement in a single rack.
Two 32-channel Bosch DiBos DVR video recorders and one Bosch 700-series DVR provide video recording for the
cameras in the facility with an approximate retention time of 14 days for recorded video. Two Bosch 600-series
DVR video recorders are being utilized as multiplexers for the two 9-view static monitors at the Court Security
Control Station. Three Bosch quad units provide static quad views that are looped into the matrix switch, along
with a 16-channel Bosch video multiplexer. A Bosch Allegiant 8930 video matrix switch is utilized to provide live
view camera call-ups at each facility control position through a Moxa NPort 5110 Ethernet to serial interface
between the InduSoft SCADA software and the Allegiant matrix. A Pelco CM9760-CDU-7 code distribution unit
from the original 2002 installation has been configured to allow control of all 10 PTZ cameras in the facility through
the new Bosch system installed in 2009.
The DVRs are not currently displaying the correct time (8.5 hours slow), and require the assistance of a technician
when reviewing or exporting recorded video. While most of this equipment is still readily available from the
manufacturers, all of these analog CCTV components are being phased out in favor of IP-based systems with longer
retention time, better video resolution, and more flexibility to accommodate changes in a facility’s needs. The
current Bosch DVR units installed are no longer available or supported by the manufacturer and will require the
purchase of a newer style/model of DVR unit if replaced.

Field Devices
Bosch and Pelco fixed CCTV cameras of multiple models and years of installation are installed throughout the
facility, installed between 2002 and 2013. PTZ cameras are all Pelco models installed during the original 2002
facility construction, and are located in the interior of the building, on the exterior, and also on light poles in the
parking lots. Many of the exterior cameras in the facility provide a greatly degraded image due to weathering or
connection issues, yielding these cameras nearly useless. There are also only five cameras covering the 360-
degrees of parking lot and landscaping totaling 5 acres around the facility. Additional exterior and site cameras
may be required to adequately cover these areas.
Interior cameras are not experiencing the same exterior weathering issues; however, all cameras in the
courtrooms do not provide adequate resolution to identify or even recognize an individual in most of this space,
particularly near the plaintiff/defendant area, gallery area, and the judge’s bench/witness stand. Additional analog
cameras or higher resolution digital cameras will be required in these areas to provide the necessary live and
recorded video resolution in these areas.

Wiring & Infrastructure
The existing system infrastructure and wiring has been modified multiple times by a number of entities/technicians
and does not meet industry standards. Multiple splice points in each wire run, often not located in a J-box or other
required enclosure, are present throughout the system. Most wiring is labeled at the termination point/access
control cabinet, however, it is rarely labeled at splice points. Cable management in the head-end equipment rack
is disorganized and unmanaged, and does not provide a technician or the facility the ability to easily access any
connections/termination points should an issue arise.
These wiring conditions have led to an increase in system/device failures, and also an increase in the amount of
technician time required to diagnose and remedy an issue. These issues will continue to increase in frequency and
severity until new wiring/infrastructure is provided for this system.

Proposed Recommendations � Provide new CCTV head-end equipment, including video recording devices and switches for a complete
VMS system with 30 days of recorded video storage
� Provide CCTV system connectivity/workstation at the Sergeant’s desk and MPO desk to review and export
recorded video of incidents
� Provide a local UPS system for head-end equipment and workstations for a 15-minute system battery

� Replace all existing analog CCTV cameras with 1080P digital cameras to provide the necessary video
resolution for live and recorded viewing
� Replace all existing system wiring to eliminate the ongoing system connection issues
� Obtain an ongoing maintenance plan during and after the system warranty period to ensure an
anticipated system life of 5-7 years (anticipated system life of 3-5 years without maintenance)
Door Control & Panic Button System
System Description
The current door control and panic button system consists of an Omron PLC-based door control system, InduSoft
SCADA software, an analog intercom system, wired panic buttons, and a wireless Inovonics panic button system.
The majority of the system was installed as part of the original installation, with an InduSoft update in 2009 and
with the subsequent remodel projects. This system as a whole is past its useful operational life, yielding ongoing
maintenance and repair issues for the facility, and also limiting the ability to make small modifications as the needs
of the facility change. No UPS battery backup units are currently installed for this system.
The current door control workstations are not user-friendly or ergonomic, resulting in recurring operator errors
and inefficient operation of these stations. The system as a whole is not fully functional, as intermittent issues
such as camera call-ups not functioning, intercom voice path garbled or faint, and panic button annunciation not
appearing on all screens occurring regularly. This could be due to a number of factors, including component age,
incorrect wiring termination, equipment failure, or system programming errors.
The following sections describe the current condition of each portion of this system described above. Refer to
Appendix ‘A’ for a detailed facility equipment and device layout.
Current Condition
Workstations
There are currently three active HMI control positions in the facility, two located in the Dispatch Room PD-217, and
one located at the Court Security control station Room PD-102. The Dispatch Room control stations include a
mouse-driven, CPU-based control system utilizing InduSoft SCADA software for graphic maps. These two control
7(e) - Page 15
City and County of Broomfield Police/Courts Building Security Master Plan
Electrical and Electronics Systems Engineering Page 14
stations in Dispatch are used primarily after-hours or in the even the Court Security control station is responding to
an incident elsewhere in the facility. Also included at the Dispatch control stations are an intercom master station,
a CCTV call-up monitor, and a CCTV camera control keyboard. The Court Security control station (the primary
control position in the facility) utilizes the same mouse-driven, CPU-based control system with InduSoft SCADA
software and an intercom master station. All control positions utilize a Windows 7 CPU running InduSoft, and a
Quam DTS-1 intercom master station.
The Court Security control station is the primary control position in the facility, and is staffed 8AM to 5PM, Monday
through Friday. After-hours control of all facility doors is then transferred to Dispatch Station #2. In the event of a
failure of Dispatch Station #2, Dispatch Station #1 will obtain control. All door alarms and intercom call-ins are
annunciated on the control station that is currently in control of the area. Panic alarms, regardless of area, are
annunciated on all control stations simultaneously, regardless of their position in the control transfer hierarchy.
Operators report that the programming, layout, and function of the control stations are deficient in order for them
to remain alert, comfortable, and effective at their assignment. This could be due to a number of factors, including
operator training, system configuration and programming, or the physical arrangement of the control positions
themselves.

Head-end Equipment
An Omron CS1 PLC control system is the central element to the door control system. This system also includes
International Power and Altronix power supplies, Phoenix Contact networking and wiring components, and
proprietary door control boards manufactured and installed by Easter-Owens in 2002 when the facility was
constructed. Intercom devices are controlled through the PLC via audio interface boards and relays. The Inovonics
wireless duress system also interfaces directly with the PLC via control boards, as do the wired duress stations and
motion detectors. Door control via the access control system card readers are initiated by the PLC system through
inputs to the PLC system via a valid card read through the access control system, initiating outputs on the PLC
system to open/actuate each door.
The Omron PLC, door control boards, and power supplies (the majority of the door control system) are at the end
of their 10-15 year life span and, while currently in good condition, will be more susceptible to failure in the
coming years. The installation of equipment in this enclosure is not orderly or well-spaced. The power distribution
and power cable management is in violation of NEC code, particularly regarding the requirement for Class 1 and
Class 2 wiring separation.

Field Devices
Devices in addition to the doors controlled by the access control system are limited to vehicle sally port gates, roll-
up doors, intercom stations, REX buttons, motion detectors, and panic buttons. Intercom stations are located
primarily in the inmate movement areas and vehicle entry area, including the elevators. Panic buttons are
dispersed throughout the facility, with wired buttons in locations where the room configuration or function is not
subject to frequent modification, and wireless buttons in locations with modular furniture or multi-purpose usage
where cable management and logistics of a wired duress system are not practical. Wireless REX buttons, intercom
stations, and motion detectors are all within their useful life and can be made fully functional and reliable with
new wiring and terminations.
There are no fewer than four different types of wired panic buttons in the facility, each type often deployed in
multiple environments and different locations in the same type of areas, yielding confusion among security staff
when a station is required to be located and reset. In order to provide similar operation and activation at all
similar locations, a single panic button type should be provided in each installation situation, and should also be
installed in the same location in each type of area.

Report Conclusions
Upon thorough analysis of the existing conditions at the Police/Courts facility, the current electronic security
systems, implementation, and wiring are not compliant with current codes and standards, or good practice.
Extensive effort and funding will be required in order to remedy these deficiencies via a system and device update.
It is in the facility’s best interest to move forward with a single, cohesive security electronics plan and design that
will ensure the utilization of updated components and systems at the facility for the best long-term reliable
system. This can be accomplished by utilizing the design services of a low voltage, telecom, or security electronics
system consultant, typically a licensed Professional Engineer, P.E., or Registered Communications Distribution
Designer, RCDD to:
� Ensure the outside consultant and designer has experience across a multitude of jurisdictions (municipal,
county, state) which will bring this diverse experience to the project.
� Provide a design that conforms to current industry standards and codes, and is scalable to accept the
anticipated changes in technology.
� Specific products that are currently deployed in combined police/court environments throughout the
region, and that will perform at an acceptable level in these specific applications.
� Provide documentation that will be invaluable for maintenance as the facility, and systems, age.
� Reduce the design and implementation time for these systems, as the design may be quicker as the
consultants will not be interrupted by work orders.
� Solicit design input from facility maintenance for maintenance or facility preferences and incorporate this
input into the final design and plan.
These services could be provided as part of a stand-alone consulting or design agreement, or in combination with a
design-build security electronics contractor team member to provide the facility with potential project cost
reduction, reduced change orders and unforeseen costs, a single source of accountability, and reduced project
duration from conception to completion; creating a collaborative construction project team with the facility’s best
interest as part of their contractual agreement. Any system upgrades that are budgeted for and initiated should
also include a budget for an ongoing maintenance contract during and after the warranty period to ensure the
maximum system life, reducing the facility’s exposure to additional capital costs for a system upgrade in the future.
