Looking for the latest in high-tech guard tour systems? Then check out what one Hawaii facility did to revise its guard tour system. In Honolulu, it’s the 1.4 million-square-foot, four-story Hawaii Convention Center. While the local area focused on the cost of the facility, the economic boost to the community and potential traffic issues, the center’s security manager, Joseph Miller, kept his focus on making sure the facility was safe for visitors.
Miller has a security staff of 18, along with additional contracted help. They use a state-of-art guard tour system that works with touch tags, pre-labeled incident buttons and Palm devices. The Protrac security system, from Tiscor of Poway, Calif., helps regulate the security tours in and around the convention center.
