Belfast-based firm RMS has achieved Secured by Design accreditation from the Association of Chief Police Officers for its new cash-in-transit facility, which uses access management systems from Traka.

The Secured by Design accreditation is ACPO’s flagship initiative, founded on the principle of ‘designing out’ crime by using effective prevention and security standards.

Secured by Design focuses on crime prevention from the initial design, layout and construction stages of homes and commercial premises, promoting the use of security standards for a wide range of applications and products.

The RMS cash centre makes use of two of Traka’s key management control applications. The ‘Cash-in-Transit’ solution ensures that the ignition key of any cash-carrying vehicle is secured (whilst out on its rounds) prior to a vault key being released.

Secondly, Traka’s ‘Round Control’ solution identifies and releases keys, ensuring that all required keys are taken in the correct order to access or complete a series of calls on a specified route.

Richard Dodge, operations manager at RMS, said: “RMS is delighted to have worked in partnership with Traka to provide an effective key management system for our new facility. The Traka systems made a significant contribution towards our achieving this accreditation.”
