Facilities Manager David Pearson, Safetight representative Neftali, and Eagle Eye engineer Bob shares presentation on Safetight Security and Eagle Eye. 

Neftali says the new intrusion alarm will allow users to arm and disarm remotely. They will be using the current alarms installed to cut down on cost. 

Bob shares if the system is down, someone will reboot it on their end. 

Neftali shares it will take 10-15 seconds to alert break-ins. Sometimes it can take up to 1 minute to get ahold of officers.

Bob and Neftali shares there is an option for for first responders to share camera footage with the police. There is also a panic button option.

David shares that Safetight acts as other security companies in which they will notify the police during an intrusion. Most of the current alarms are on a 3g system which are outdated. Other alarms are black- meaning they are inoperable. This proposal will be an enhance replacement to the current technology. 

Mrs. Villa says that this contract has been vetted by the lawyers. Oakland Charter High School is the only site that has security guards currently.

David shares that in a case of intrusion- the first contact is the site director, second contact is the prevention person, and third contact is the facilities manager. They are trying to find another contact person who is more local to Oakland who will be able to respond right away.
