High Security Dilemmas: A Second White House Fence Jumper

Friday, October 24th, 2014

Nearly a month ago, an armed intruder was able to breach White House security and jump the fence meant to protect the grounds. While this event seemed like a one-in-a-lifetime occurrence, it was amazingly enough repeated on October 22 when a man in his early twenties was able to scale and cross the White House fence and gain access to the North Lawn. While he was unarmed, and he was apprehended quickly by Secret Service agents, the fact nevertheless remains that a facility that is supposed to be one of the nation’s most secure has now suffered two inexcusable security breaches. So what can be done to address these high security issues? Read on to find out.

White House Fence JumperWhat the Second White House Fence Jumper Means for High Security Fencing

When it comes to the security of the White House and similarly high-risk facilities, the proper kind of fencing can make all the difference. The White House’s main dilemma seems to be rooted in the fact that as a public and highly popular attraction, they cannot necessarily install fencing with barbed wire or heavy-duty locks or else risk looking too intimidating and exclusionary. But safety cannot be sacrificed, and so there have to be unique solutions to this kind of problem. Ornamental anti-climb fencing provides a compromise between a subtle look and high security protection. With ornamental anti-climb fencing tops, the fence becomes very difficult to scale while still blending in seamlessly with the landscaping and design of a high security facility.

Does My Facility Need High Security Fencing?

Thursday, October 16th, 2014

Those who work in a variety of different facilities often ask themselves the question: Are we in need of high security fencing? They may believe that high security fencing is perhaps an unnecessary expense or that a basic alarm system will be enough to keep their facility secure. But before you jump to any conclusions, it is important to first ask yourself the following questions to determine for sure whether this essential security measure needs to be taken.

High Security FencingDoes my facility contain sensitive material, including documents, files, or other items?

Some facilities contain information that absolutely needs to stay confidential. More often than not, unfortunately, confidential information is highly sought after, and not always by the most reputable people. In order to protect this information, implementing high security fencing into your design can help deter intruders and keep their hands off of your vital materials.

Does your facility host important personnel or guests on a regular basis?

If the people who work at your facility have a high level security clearance or you often invite important guests (i.e. diplomats, politicians), there is a chance that these people are higher-risk targets. With the added peace of mind and security of high security fencing, you can ensure that anyone who visits your facility will be safe.

Is your facility located in a high-risk area?

If the surrounding area of your facility has a high rate of crime, then it becomes that much more important to augment your security features. A high security fence can keep out criminals and provide you with the protection you need for both your employees and the materials stored in your facility.

Ready for Anything: How to Implement High Security Practices

Friday, October 10th, 2014

Different organizations all have their own unique set of needs, and their individual security needs are no exception. When it comes time to plan for the high security measures and practices you will implement as a part of your organization, there are several questions that you need to ask yourself in order to determine exactly which kinds of systems will work best. Read on to find out what these questions are, and how your answers to them can help create a custom high security solution!

What is my high security budget?

If your organization is one that has a lot of confidential information and sensitive records on hand, then security practices are obviously going to be one of your top priorities. However, the amount of funds you can allocate towards security does depend on what amount of funds needs to be kept reserved for other expenses. Working with Hercules Fence, you can participate in the planning of your high security fence and other systems, customizing a solution that works within your budget and still supplies you with a high level of security.

Ready for AnythingWhere is my high security facility located?

Depending on your organization’s location, you will have a variety of security needs. If you are in an area that receives a high volume of pedestrian foot traffic, than anti-climb fencing and guard booths may be two of your must-haves. If you are more isolated, but with access roads leading to all of your facility’s entrances, you may want to look into crash-rated fencing and bollards to keep out vehicle intruders.

The White House Fence Conundrum: Security and Style

Thursday, October 2nd, 2014

The nation is still reeling from the news that an armed man was able to breach White House security by jumping the fence. Recent revelations that the jumper was actually able to then enter the house itself and move farther into the interior than any intruder before are unsettling to say the least, but the lesson learned from these events is quite simply that high security facilities need to have proper measures taken in order to keep them safe. But why exactly does this pose such a complex problem for the White House and similar institutions? Read on to find out more.

Effective, Not Intimidating

The White House has long had a reputation as “The House of the People,” which is to say that the private family wings aside, the House has been open to visitors and is meant to serve as a symbol to the American people. Foreign dignitaries and tourists, too, have come to see the White House as an accessible place, an important characteristic for it to have. But as important as this image is to maintain, the fact remains that the White House is a high security facility with people who could be endangered if intruders are allowed to breach the grounds. While an imposing security fence topped with barbed wire would no doubt clash with the image the White House tries to project, there is a solution: ornamental high security fences. Ornamental high security fences combine the security of an anti-climb, crash-rated fence with the style and elegance of an ornamental fence. With these two features, facilities who do not want to project an intimidating, dangerous image can still maintain a quality level of security and, subsequently, peace of mind.
