Fort Peck Detention Center – Bureau of Indian Affairs

Project Overview

Professional Systems Engineering, LLC (PSE) correctional security designs provide a complement of systems that work together to help ensure security and safety for inmates and correctional staff. The synergy of various electronic and physical security measures provides the highest level of security possible within the requirements and budgetary constraints of each individual facility. Fort Peck’s new detention center constitutes a vast improvement over the previous lock-and-key facility.

PSE provided design and consulting services for the design and construction of a new, $14 million detention center for the Fort Peck Tribes in Poplar, Montana. PSE designed the electronic security systems including IP video surveillance, intercom, paging, staff duress, perimeter intrusion detection, and access control. These systems were integrated for streamlined control from touchscreen control workstations. Physical security was also included in PSE’s design, encompassing fencing and detention hardware. PSE also designed the tele/data infrastructure for the facility’s enterprise IT network and phone system, including telecom room layouts and structured cabling systems. Design was formulated to work in conjunction with the facility’s architecture and geographical location to promote effective security for the safety of both detainees and staff alike.
