The Challenge

Chicago Public Schools needed its video surveillance upgraded at dozens of high schools and elementary schools, and keyless staff entry and access-control upgrades at nearly 50 schools.

Unfortunately we can’t tell you more about this work than what it was and how many schools it reached, because what stays private about a school’s cameras and doors is part of what keeps the school safe.

The Solution

We install security systems in Illinois under Private Alarm Contractor Agency License No. 127001360, and the electricians on our crews are members of IBEW Local 134.

At the end of each job, the district gets the system’s drawings, serial numbers and programming files, and its staff are trained to run it.

  • Video surveillance
  • Keyless staff entry
  • Access control
  • Training for the staff

The Result

Chicago Public Schools comes back to us year after year, and school security is among the busiest parts of our work. That being said, if your district is planning work like this, we’re happy to sit down with your team and explain how we would run it.
