People are Your Purpose,

People are Your Purpose, and Ours In 2008, the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office was informed by the federal government that it was violating inmates’ civil rights because of its indirect supervision policy. Part of the requirement to remedy the violation was to hire 200 detention officers in addition to the 450 they already had. Instead, Captain David Baisden turned to Digi Security Systems for a technological solution. Together, we designed a system that would provide 100 percent visibility in each of the 30 pods in the jail. Digi installed the system, and the impact was definitive. “All of a sudden, we noticed an immediate drop in altercations from 300 to 30,” said Captain Baisden. “Ninety percent of the violence was gone.” We have a saying around here that People Are Our Purpose. As a security systems integrator, the work we do is important: we design, install, and service commercial security systems for all kinds of organizations. Those very security systems are the technology that keeps our children safe in their classrooms, our police officers protected from wrongdoers, our business’ assets secure, and our communities free from the worry of violent threats. We design systems that maximize safety and limit the number of personnel and hours spent trying to identify and respond to incidents. It’s important work. It’s work that makes a real difference. And that work is just part of the Digi Difference that defines us. When an organization decides to partner with us, we become an extension of their team.
