Problems
The MCST was under the impression that only Security Supervisors (SS) can operate CCTV monitoring system, hence incurred high cost for a team size of two per shift which is inefficient.
Solutions
MOM recommends supervisors for teams of three or more, making the current deployment inefficient. To address this, we proposed replacing the SS with a Senior Security Officer (SSO), whose qualifications meet the regulatory requirements for CCTV monitoring. The revised deployment of 1 SSO and 1 SO per shift aligns with both MOM and Police Licensing & Regulatory Department (PLRD) standards. Additionally, we introduced a License Plate Recognition (LPR) system and Visitor Management System (VMS), enabling residents to pre-register guests. These enhancements improve access control, streamline entry at the main gantry, and ensure a cost-effective, efficient security operation.
What We Achieved
Introduce technology to streamline entry with and improved access control. Successfully reduced security costs by $1,200 per month, yielded savings of $28,800 in 2 years.
