PSIM Helps Protect Washington D.C. During Fourth of July Celebrations
VidSys, Vienna, Va., a provider of physical security information management (PSIM) software that allows organizations to resolve business and security situations in real time, collaborated with the United States Park Police (USPP) on a technology trial to protect the hundreds of thousands of people from around the country during the annual Fourth of July celebration in Washington, D.C. The VidSys PSIM software system was leveraged to monitor for, respond to and manage potential security threats throughout the National Mall and Memorials area.
The VidSys PSIM software system integrated, correlated and analyzed data across the disparate security systems and devices in place throughout the National Mall and Memorials area, providing the USPP and other government agencies with the shared intelligence and appropriate standard operating procedures necessary to effectively work together to pro-actively identify and resolve situations. By providing one common operating picture, commanders had complete area visibility, enabling them to identify hot spots and prioritize resources throughout the weekend as situations arose.
