Last week, an Iraq War veteran made national news when he was able to scale the fence surrounding the perimeter of the White House in Washington, D.C. and breach the security of one of the most high security facilities in our country. The White House and the Secret Service have been criticized for allowing the intrusion to happen at all, and though no one was harmed as a result of his trespassing, the event did throw into sharp relief the need for high security fencing to protect sensitive facilities.
What does the White House fence jumper mean for high security fencing?
What last week’s events show us is that in spite of on-ground surveillance and security cameras, effective high security fencing is a must-have, as it is the last line of defense against intruders and trespassers. In response to the fence jumper, the White House security team has added an additional, temporary security barrier to slow and deter potential threats from gaining access to the White House grounds. But is this enough to truly prevent a repeat attempt?
With effective high security fencing designed with anti-climb technology in mind, sensitive facilities can be kept safe from would-be intruders. Specialized fence tops and post designs make fences impossible to scale from ground height, and if your facility is in need of strong security measures being taken, then look no further than Hercules High Security.
