Statewide Security Services

           The DPW Statewide Security Unit provides for the overall physical security of the state employees, clients, visitors and assets of the State of Connecticut in both state-owned and leased facilities. Working in close partnership with the State Police and the various state agencies, the Unit strives to prevent occurrences of workplace violence. Procedures and protocols help to ensure that a well- coordinated response to threats of workplace violence is readily available to all state agencies. The building security program includes conducting facility security audits, documenting recommendations for improvements, drafting security-related policies and procedures, purchasing and installing security equipment and systems such as access control, alarms and video surveillance systems, and improving contract guard services. Physical security standards pursuant to section 4b-130 of the Connecticut General Statutes have been established. Unit staff may participate in reviewing preliminary building designs for renovation and new construction projects as well as newly leased locations to ensure compliance with these standards.
