  1. Building Security at 777 N Capitol Street

  2. Security Problems • Building designed for ease of access in 1989 • Direct access from garage • Three diverse owner-tenants • COG (public association) • ICMA (association) • ICMA-RC (financial investment firm) • 2010 DC HSEMA audit recommended specific increases in security • High profile elected officials and heads of government agencies • Public access and large meetings • “Do not Admit” list is manual and relies on guards to recognize faces

  3. Review of Solutions • Toured buildings around ours – all had some system of visitor check-in • Hall of States • Meeting attendee list, id check, swipe through turnstile • WMATA • ID check, hand written badge, bag & body scan • Public areas on 1st floor, separated from WMATA offices

  4. Our Solution • Balanced solution to increase visibility of security while minimizing impact to guests • Increased training for tenants by building security firm • Building tenants issued photo IDs that must be presented for access to building & displayed at all times • Visitors must register in main lobby and wear printed badge while within building • Pre-registration and pre-printing of guest badges for large meetings • 15-20 seconds per person to register • Garage elevator will stop at lobby. Tenants proceed to other elevators for suite access, guests proceed to lobby to register. • Annual COG VIP card provides priority recognition in parking garage and allows access to elevators without having to check in.

  5. COG VIP Access via Garage • Show COG VIP card to valet to get preferential parking • Take elevator to lobby level • Show COG VIP card to guard in elevator lobby • Proceed to other elevators to go up to COG suite

  6. Public Access via Main Lobby • Select tenant visiting • Scan ID into visitor registration • Print badge • Show guest badge to guard in elevator lobby • Proceed to elevators to go up to COG suite

  7. Implementation & Costs • November • Begin issue all tenants new photo ID • Begin lobby guard desk renovations • December • Installation & training on new visitor management system • January • Issue of COG VIP cards • Continued training & testing of visitor management system • Tenant security training • February • Visitor management system “live” • Costs • Visitor management system & tenant photo ID cards covered by CPAS • $10 for each COG VIP card covered by COG
