Boost Program The Los Angeles County Office of Education in Downey, Calif., is tough on security. Overseeing nearly 350 sites within the county and over 6,000 employees, the security operation maximizes and organizes itself to meet specific needs. Serving for five years as the education office’s first security services manager, Jack Eckles works in its division of business operations. He continues to forge ahead with the aim of seamless integration of standardized systems of alarms, access control and video surveillance. Technology sources include PCSC, Torrance, Calif., which provides for the integration of third-party vendor equipment and services to connect the security systems.
