COURTHOUSE ALARM SYSTEM
PROJECT 74-11 OCTOBER 29, 1976
The Circuit Court has requested, several times over a period
of years, that an alarm system be provided for the protection
of judges and court employees. The type of system desired
would allow the judge or his staff to push a button activating
an alarm panel at Security, and as presently proposed at the
Sheriff's Detention Unit in the Courthouse, indicating that -
immediate assiStance is needed at that location. The alarm
button locations would be at each judge's- secretary desk and -
in each courtroom. This type of alarm system has also been
reviewed with the Probate Court and they also are desirous
of this system in their courtrooms, office areas, and for the
referee hearing rooms. Besides the court areas, it is also -
proposed that alarm buttons be installed at the Treasurer, -
Clerk, Register of Deeds, and information counters in the lobbies, -
The alarm when activated would immediately indicate visually
on a display panel an alarm condition at a specific location.
The pushing of the button at the specific location is silent and
sounds no alarm at the location. At the display panel,besides a
visual indicating light, an audio horn will also sound. Indicating
.:lights can also be installed over the courtroom or office door
to assist the officers responding to the alarm find the area
quickly.
Listed below is a budget price for two display panels and
38 alarm stations. The display panels can be used for up to
50 alarm stations.
