What do zebras, school groups and high-tech surveillance have in common? They're all part of a day’s work for the security team at the Toledo Zoo. In this webinar, Vice President of Security & Safety Operations Regina Lester will discuss how this dynamic public environment leverages cutting-edge security technologies to protect people, animals and assets.
In this session, discover how enterprise-level security strategies are adapted to manage complex challenges — ranging from open terrain and dense crowds to sensitive habitats and after-hours threats. Learn how integrated systems including access control, surveillance, digital radios, intrusion detection, temperature monitoring, dispatch centers, and more are orchestrated to keep operations safe and seamless.
Learning Objectives:
- 1. Gain insight into the role of surveillance technology in diverse, open-air environments such as zoos and other non-traditional venues.
- 2. Better understand access control strategies that balance public accessibility with restricted area protection in facilities.
- 3. Discuss safety and security technology and strategies for practical implementation.
- 4. Learn about adapting traditional security technologies for the unique operational challenges faced by zoos and similarly dynamic environments.
