Las Ramblas Community Safety and Security

Purpose: Armando, the purpose of this document is to share information regarding how we may enhance safety and security at our Las Ramblas community.
Disclaimer: Please note that this is not a commercial proposal and that I have no financial interest in this matter. What I mean is that if the CDD and Las Ramblas leadership decide to implement any of these suggestions, my company will not be participating, because as you know, our business focuses on the U.S. government overseas. However, if the community believes I can personally add value, I can provide advise at no cost.

Executive Summary: After listening to our neighbors' concerns and my experience living in our community for more than 10-years, I believe that we have made much progress in the area of electronic security. However, with a few minor adjustments to our existing electronic security approach, we may improve safety and security. Below is an image indicating the two areas of interest (at the end of our community), where we can enhance security.

The enhancement is basically to add cameras at the roundabout ("Rotonda"), by:
Adding three cameras and one antenna and connecting with the cameras already installed in the playground area (Area 2), where the monkey bars are located.
The second enhancement would be to display all the cameras at the entrance guard house. There is no training required because the guards will only be monitoring and reporting based on community or CDD written procedures. However, this monitoring task may need to be added to the guard contract.
Contracting a qualified vendor to provide preventive and corrective maintenance. Additionally, the vendor should provide video recording forensic services to support incidents evaluations. As a community service, I can assist with drafting a scope of work for this service.

Recommended next steps: One of the first steps should be to inspect the area where the two enhancements would take place, if approved. Then a cost estimate should be
developed based on a set of tasks to be executed. Once the estimate is available, the proposal should be presented to the decision makers for a go head or not. Below is a list of primary tasks that would need to be executed.
Area 1 (Roundabout): The existing light post can be used to install three cameras and equipment cabinet. One advantage is that there is an existing electrical outlet at the base of the light post. This camera system will also connect the existing cameras installed in Area 2 (Playground at end of the community). See photos below.

Rationale: As shown in the photos (on the right), there is public access to and from our community and this could be a security vulnerability, because anyone can enter or exit from this sidewalk leading to other communities. By adding cameras, visitors can be monitoring when entering or exiting our common areas.
Area 2 (Playground): The task here focuses on installing one antenna to connect with the system in Area 1. The antenna would be placed on top of the existing light post. The existing Internet router in Area 2, would be moved to Area 1. This is a very simple task and should take approximately one hour to complete.
Rationale: By connecting the existing four cameras in Area 2 with Area 1, the community will have better visibility to monitor these areas.
