Connecting Problems with Solutions
Locus Plus is a broad-based consulting service based on thirty years of community policing and law enforcement in Toronto, followed by sixteen years as Director of Campus Police Services at the downtown campus of Canada's largest university. During my tenure I led the creation of enterprise level security and access management systems, starting from mechanical locks and keys with direct-run, copper-wire based alarms, on fewer than 10% of its existing buildings. I have worked with vendors across the security and access management spectrum, selecting the best-in-class products to protect a best-in-class research university. This can only be accomplished by developing strong relationships with other professionals.
Locus Plus Services begin with an assessment of client needs based on identified problems or concerns. The assessment will include the client’s current and future needs: staffing and skills versus change generated deficiencies; training and use of systems and equipment; and helping develop the rules required to make it all work together.
Contact us with your problems or concerns. We can't help with everything, but we can guide you in your search for an effective provider.
