Tallahassee Regional Airport may be small but it's big on security. The airport
was recently honored with the "2005 Excellence in Airport Security" award from Air
Safety Week, an aviation security publication. The award is granted to the airport
with the highest rating for airport security advances, security effectiveness, security
management, leadership, balancing of security programs and operations, and maintaining
public confidence in air travel.
Located in Florida's capital city, the Tallahassee Regional Airport supports commercial
airlines, corporate aviation, commuter and charter services, as well as a variety
of private aviation activities. The airport recently installed American Dynamics
surveillance cameras and Intellex® digital video management systems along with
the Software House C•CURE® 800 access control system, all from Tyco Fire
& Security, for a more efficient passenger security process. They also installed
Software House card readers and control panels to restrict access to doors and gate
access points throughout the facility. The fully integrated system keeps security
personnel keenly aware of activities inside and around the perimeter of the facility.
The solution was instrumental during a recent security violation when a passenger
tried to bypass a security access point. Within minutes, security personnel accessed
the video footage on Intellex –pinpointing the identity of the suspect. They
produced the footage to law enforcement officials, who searched and cleared the
aircraft to prevent a potential incident. "The system truly works for us," said
David Pollard, superintendent of Operations at Tallahassee Regional Airport. "It's
very user-friendly. Operators can easily acknowledge alarms, pull up cameras, and
investigate access histories, all at the click of a button."
