Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk implements a unified security platform for mitigating risk and investigating incidents
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, an iconic amusement park in California, recently upgraded its security infrastructure by unifying video and access control park-wide, to allow the park's security team to speed up investigations and emergency response. Touted as the "Coney Island of the West", the seaside park features about 40 rides, 30 restaurants, 15 retail shops, arcades, miniature golf, bowling, and conference and banquet facilities.
As an admission-free park, guests can enter through multiple entrances to buy food, purchase ride tickets, or simply walk around and enjoy the surroundings. Unlike gated parks which typically have a main security checkpoint, the park’s security team must be hyper-vigilant to spot potential security threats before they can develop. Security operators constantly monitor video cameras and work directly with field officers to handle issues.
