Professional Systems Engineering, LLC provided design/consulting services for security, holding/detention control systems, courts security and allied building security communications for the renovation of the existing courthouse and addition.

This $50 million renovation consists of an existing 170,000 SF courthouse and an 80,000 SF addition. Lehigh County Courthouse constructed an addition including courts, and incorporates a new common-area, 4-story atrium in the courthouse complex. The addition was fronted to the existing structure, and includes a lobby, courts, holding spaces for defendants, family members, law enforcement professionals, and judges’ chambers. The existing facility was also renovated.

It was recognized by all stakeholders that accommodation for open access is considered to be of utmost importance and priority for public buildings, particularly the courts. Vigilant security protection and sensitivity to an open access atmosphere are critical components that are addressed in an unobtrusive and aesthetic manner. The design team provided architectural design, security, and communications services within conservative governmental budgetary constraints.

Columbus, Ohio

Security Planning, Design & EngineeringFranklin County Courthouse & Secure Parking

This project consists of the design

of a modern, 325,000 SF

court facility for Franklin County

Courthouse in Columbus, Ohio. The cost for this project was $82

million. The court system serves a large county

population with over 100,000 person-visits per year. The

Courthouse will be occupied

by a variety of departments

having overlapping

security needs. The new

structure will be integrated

with the existing campus of

buildings. The security aspects

of the integration requirements include high

volume screening,

blast mitigation reviews, and digital video throughout.

Professional Systems Engineering, LLC applied two key philosophies in the design of the security systems. The first was the concept of simple operational security. The system design focused on not only providing the best level of security but also stresses a “simple to operate” and “easy to maintain system.” PSE believes that if systems are not easy to operate, these systems will not be fully implemented. The end result of a complex security system could be a breakdown in a facility’s overall level of security.

Our second key philosophy was the design of integrated systems. Modern security systems incorporate a collection of subsystems. Traditionally, these systems would each be an independent standalone system. The system provided for in this project will call for each subsystem to be interfaced in a manner which will allow the system to share information and automatically respond to events.

Technologies ❖ IP security system ❖ PLC system control in holding cells, segregated from courthouse access control system ❖ Monitoring and controlled access systems ❖ Card access protection ❖ Elevator and secure corridor protection ❖ Digital television surveillance ❖ Weapons detection and package screening

❖ Interior building security for door monitoring and control, power backup, interior communications, and duress monitoring stations ❖ Security intercom system ❖ Monitoring of critical support systems, such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and fire alarms ❖ Physical security control and monitoring of exterior access to secure parking and sallyport entrances

We currently hold the A-E

Courtroom Technology contract for

Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts

(AOUSC), the Federals Courts responsible for

A/V technology.

Professional System Engineering, LLC provided security consulting and design services for the new Lobby addition and new Parking Deck.

The new Lobby will provide a new main entrance point and security screening area for the existing Court of Appeals. The Parking Deck will provide secure parking area and secure access to the building for the judges. The new Lobby and Parking Deck will become part of an enhancement to judicial process in the state. The project’s goals are three fold: provide effective justice services: improve staff and operational effectiveness, efficiency, and security: and to support the activities and needs of staff and the public with well-designed modern facilities which anticipate future needs.

The project’s overall purpose is to improve justice and law enforcement services to the public. Delivery of improved justice and enforcement services will be accomplished by addition or integration of appropriate technologies, configuration of entrance, public spaces and parking area, and better integration and proximity of related functions such as court support, probation, and juvenile support, etc.

Delaware County, Pennsylvania

Enterprise Security Planning & Design/Construction ServicesCounty of Delaware

After a complete facility review

with the sheriff and the Administrative

Office of the Courts Division,

PSE implemented a multi-phase,

government-wide, restructuring

of access and security for many

of the County’s facilities.

One-by-one, each site became

better equipped to function

operationally while securing

public, staff, law enforcement,

and those held in a diversity of

custody/detention situations. The

County remains an active client after more than

20 years.

The County of Delaware, in 1986, was one of the first counties in the country to pursue “government-wide” security vulnerability and threat defense implementation of security operational and access requirements for its buildings. This increased alignment of departments, improved public access in secure environments, and even today meets the requirements of homeland security since the events of 2001.
