SECURITY SYSTEM REVIEW AND AUDIT

SCG was engaged by the Department of Justice and Regulation (Vic) to undertake an assessment of the existing security system at Tarrengower Prison to assess the current performance, age, obsolescence and ongoing maintenance requirements.

SCG also completed a review and assessment of the existing “As Built” documentation to determine if it reflects the current system configuration.   SCG  also assessed the operation of the security as it pertains to performance and operator training, allowing DJR to better determine their security strategy for the prison moving forward.

SECURITY CONCEPT DESIGN

As a result of the review and audit of the incumbent security system at Tarrengower Prison previously undertaken by SCG,  SCG was again engaged by the Department of Justice and Regulation (DJR) this time to conduct a scoping exercise and subsequent security concept design with the aim of upgrading the security infrastructure across the prison.  SCG provided recommendations for improvements and additional technology required to improve security at Tarrengower Prison.

SCG was engaged by the Perth Zoo to conduct a review of the existing mechanical lock system installed across the entire site, including the staff administration and animal enclosure areas, and provide recommendations to upgrade the locking systems, master key hierarchies, and key issue management.

SCG was engaged as a sub-consultant to provide security team leadership and design services to John Holland for the new Ravenhall Prison in Victoria being delivered as a PPP.

This is a 1,300 bed medium security prison with a secure perimeter and extensive and complex security systems designed to meet the requirements of the project brief.

SCG was engaged by Museum Victoria (MV) to develop a Security Management Framework; the aim being to establish a clearly defined integrated framework including policies, plans and procedures tailored to MV’s requirements. The framework provides an overarching structure through which MV can identify, manage and respond to risks associated with the physical environments within their control.

The key objectives of the Framework are to:

• Identify and define the appropriate security strategy;
• Determine the appropriate security management standards for the protection of assets;
• Enhance the organisations reputation;
• Provide a management model which identifies accountabilities and risks;
• Improve operational efficiencies;
• Formulate an effective expenditure plan for the security budget across the MV property portfolio.

The project was delivered over three phases:

1. Review & Investigation
2. Development of the Security Management Framework
3. Implementation Plan.

A Security Working Group was developed for the project to provide structure and guidance to all SCG and MV stakeholders and to ensure defined recommendations were collectively approved for submission to the Executive Management Team and Board.
