Bar-coded passes mean unauthorised personnel cannot enter a facility undetected

Thames Valley Police were duped into letting a man visit his friend at Abingdon police station. James Mangan persuaded officers to let him see fellow Blue Mountains, Wallingford, resident Keith Bailey. Ch Insp Phil Murphy said the force takes any breach of security extremely seriously, and added: “Thames Valley Police conducted a full review of how this security breach happened and additional training and guidance has been given to all staff in our custody suites and on our front counters.”

Time and Attendance Southern can supply corporate access control and Visitor Management Systems (VMS) that use the latest PC technology so that unauthorised personnel cannot enter your facility undetected. It allows Reception and Gatehouse staff to quickly check the identity or enter the details of visitors, and print their personalised ID pass. Unlike paper-based systems VMS provides accurate date and time stamped audit trail of visitors and contractors; plus it provides individualised, bar-coded passes with monitored expiry dates for your business.
