Case Study: The Verdict Is In: Middlesex County Superior Court Chooses Bosch For Video Surveillance

Approximately 180 court personnel occupy the newly built, 140,000 square-foot, seven story Middlesex County Superior Court. The facility provides 15 courtrooms, 15 jury deliberation rooms, and 22 holding cells with separate areas for men and women. The courthouse also includes office space for staff of the Middlesex District Attorney's Office and the Committee for Public Counsel Services, as well as space designated for victims, witnesses and bar advocates.

When the Middlesex County Superior Court moved locations from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to a newly-constructed building in Woburn, Massachusetts, the court required a modern security system for the new site. A reliable and long-lasting video surveillance system was needed to help security staff monitor various locations within the court, including public areas, courtrooms, holding cells, interview rooms, as well as areas designated for court personnel and judges.

The Bosch digital video recordings are used to improve the training of our Court Officers (Lockup and Courtroom areas) and Associate Court Officers (Screening Stations)," continued English. "The Bosch video systems help to keep the officers alert, and that helps to allow routine court proceedings."
