Examples of our Work

Following is some examples of the work our team has been involved in over the years.

Theft During New School Project

As a new school was being built, Focal Point Security worked with the general contractor to
provide the construction site with the needed security measures. During the course of the build,
a theft occurred. We alerted the police and they showed up within minutes of the break in and
they were able to intercept the perpetrators as they tried to leave the site when they saw the
police coming. A high-speed chase ensued and ultimately 4 people were arrested and
convicted.
We were also able to provide law enforcement with video of the entire event – from footage of
the initial break-in to facial shots of the perpetrators, as well as the items that were stolen. The
perpetrators turned out to be part of a group who had been hitting several construction sites in
the area and ours was the only site with video monitoring that managed to catch the ring in
action. We played a key role in assisting law enforcement in capturing the thieves. We are proud
to report that our video recording also played a key role in convicting the perpetrators.

Arizona Farm Labor Security

Focal Point Security worked in tandem with an Arizona commercial farm to provide a unique
type of security during the construction of additional buildings on the premises. What made this
project different was the fact that this particular farm works with the Arizona Department of
Corrections and utilizes inmate labor for some of their needs. While this helps to reduce criminal
recidivism, unfortunately it also increases potential risks to the farm. By coordinating with the
guard services company hired to provide live guard patrols for the farm, we were able to
enhance their coverage & response with our virtual guard monitoring services using an array of
video camera equipment. In addition, our service and equipment provided the owner with the
ability to monitor the construction progress and guard patrols, giving them greater management
control over the project. The farm was extremely happy with the results of our security services.

Specialized Security For New Catholic Church Construction

Focal Point Security provided security during the construction of a new church. What made this
project different was that the church owners wanted to allow parishioners to be able to witness
the construction throughout. Therefore, it was important to provide the highest amount of
security, while also respecting the visitors who wanted to follow the building of their new church.
Since gates were open to the public during the day, and visitors were able to wander inside,
having the right amount of security was imperative. The general contractor on this project
utilized our security system for management purposes during the day, as well as to monitor it
remotely during non-working hours. He was so impressed with our system that he told his
company about us, and Focal Point Security has since provided a quote to them for a future
project.

Community College Expansion Project

Provided security for a community college expansion project. The construction disrupted parking
for the portion of the school that was still open and operational, and this created a problem with
students entering the construction site accidentally. Additionally, the college was bordered by
open public desert and this meant they ran a potential risk of outside intruders. In addition to
providing pan/tilt/zoom cameras for security, the general contractor requested a high quality
time lapse video to display on their website and use in project meetings with the owner. We
were able to program the cameras in a way that provided all the necessary visuals. We also
delivered weekly updates for their meetings and then provided them with a final rendition that
included the entire construction period.

Live Intrusion Monitoring
Security For High-End Car Dealership

Provided security for a high-end car dealership in Texas that was having problems with
vandalism and theft. Car dealerships offer a unique challenge for security because they tend to
have open perimeters. After-hours shoppers are important to car sales, therefore this particular
dealership needed a way to capture criminal activity without discouraging or disrespecting their
prospective shoppers. Not only were we able to integrate our security systems with their existing
camera system, we also provided them with live video surveillance during closed business
hours. We also set up an audio system so that our agents could communicate to visitors/
intruders to ensure that no one wandered into restricted areas. For example, if children with
bikes or skateboards wandered onto the property, we were able to ask them to leave without
necessarily needing police involvement. However, if a criminal incident occurred, we were able
to dispatch the police immediately.

Public Pool Security

Worked with a City Parks & Recreation Department in Arizona to provide cameras and after
hours monitoring of public pools. These types of areas are a hotspot for after-hours partying
from local teenagers and, because this means a major liability risk for the city, monitoring them
is extremely important. Using remote monitoring agents providing live full time monitoring during
off-hours, we were able to dispatch police to break up several of these late-night gatherings.

Video System For Arabian Horse Birth

Worked with an Arabian show horse ranch owner to provide live video in the birthing stall of one
of his high value mares. The owner wanted to be able to monitor her condition and observe the
horse for signs of labor, while allowing for privacy in the stall for her. Video cameras in the stall
allowed the owner to remain in the ranch house, while still having the ability to monitor the
birthing process from where he was.
