Sheriff William Niemi Highlights Success of VOLT Security System in Ashtabula County Courthouse

In the video, Sheriff William Niemi from Ashtabula County, Ohio, discusses the adoption of VOLT AI security technology at the county courthouse to enhance their response to potential threats. VOLT is strategically utilized to detect firearms, suspicious packages, suspicious persons, and threatening body language. This proactive security setup enables law enforcement personnel to address situations before they escalate. Sheriff Niemi highlights the system as a crucial asset, particularly impressing the deputy sheriffs with its capability to identify potential threats even in blind spots and before they are visually apparent to security staff. He shares specific examples where VOLT proved its effectiveness: it alerted them to a briefcase left in the hallway, quickly assessed as non-threatening, and it accurately detected a deputy adjusting his gun belt, confirming the system’s reliability. Overall, Sheriff Niemi emphasizes that VOLT has significantly enhanced the ability to maintain safety for courthouse staff and the visiting public.
