Project Overview

The Ocean County Justice Complex and Courthouse is representative of over 100 justice/courts, corrections, and jail projects engineered by Professional Systems Engineering, LLC (PSE). The architect chose PSE because of the first systems designs successfully completed with them in 1993.

Our firm provided electronic security, master control center, communications, and fire protection/fire alarm/life safety services, consulting, design, engineering, construction administration and commissioning services for the 400+ bed Jail Expansion project which included a 157,000 square foot addition. PSE also provided design for the campus wide Fire Alarm System Upgrade project.
