City of Houston, Houston, Texas
Kroll Advisory Solutions was hired to perform assessments for 15 city buildings and develop recommendations for countermeasure upgrades to improve overall building security and potentially reduce manpower costs through more efficient use of technology.
The scope of this project was to conduct an assessment to determine a reasonable level of security and structural reinforcement needed to protect (deter, detect, and shield) against terrorist attacks, both external and internal, on certain City of Houston facilities.
Kroll provided a threat assessment, a blast vulnerability study and an assessment of the existing physical security program in place at each facility.
Facilities included:
City Hall
City Hall Annex
Police Headquarters
Police Dept. Command Stations
