What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas—but only because Las Vegas has the security to ensure that tourists, gamblers, and employees are protected. - [Tim Purpura](https://www.morsewatchmans.com/blog/author/tim-purpura) - 4 min read - Apr 4, 2018 8:36:16 AM ## [Folger Adam: a corrections facility key with a history](https://www.morsewatchmans.com/blog/folger-adam-a-corrections-facility-key-with-history) Between the years 1980 and 2008, the number of Americans in prison quadrupled. Today, over 2 million adults are incarcerated in the United States, requiring significant security to keep prisoners confined and away from society. The success of a correctional facility—its ability to keep prisoners locked safely away—depends to a large degree on the efficacy of its locks. The locks used to keep prisoners in their cells, cell blocks, and within the prison itself are a big part of what keep those prisoners from reentering society until their time is served. Given their importance, it’s worth taking a moment to consider what locks are utilized in correctional settings, how they came to be used, and how they operate. And one important piece of that story is the Folger Adam key. - [Tim Purpura](https://www.morsewatchmans.com/blog/author/tim-purpura) - 4 min read - Mar 30, 2018 9:47:17 AM ## [Why Key Control Best Practices are a Slapshot for Hockey Arenas](https://www.morsewatchmans.com/blog/why-key-control-best-practices-are-a-slapshot-for-hockey-arenas) Hockey arenas are state-of-the-art venues, delivering a complete experience around every game, creating lasting memories and loyal fans. In order to do so, they perform a wide variety of functions beyond hosting the game itself. They often house training and healthcare facilities for players and staff, offer concessions and souvenirs for fans, provide VIP experiences, and offer parking and transportation—and there is also a need to maintain the ice itself. All of these goals must be met while ensuring the safety and security of every individual and asset within the arena. Key control systems installed throughout a hockey arena can provide measurable benefits by enhancing security and convenience for all of the arena’s operations, as well as increased staff productivity and accountability. - [Tim Purpura](https://www.morsewatchmans.com/blog/author/tim-purpura) - 4 min read - Mar 16, 2018 12:42:41 PM ## [5 reasons protecting physical keys Is still important in today’s landscape](https://www.morsewatchmans.com/blog/-5-reasons-protecting-physical-keys-is-still-important-in-todays-landscape) The internet age has made us more connected than we ever thought possible. Not only are we capable of connecting to each other, but more and more of our devices are sharing information as well. Networked devices range from phones and computers to cars to household appliances. As more devices join the network, it has become easy, convenient and cost-effective to remotely control many devices in your home or business. Access control is one of the systems that has taken advantage of this new era, including electronic door locking systems and other solutions that administer permissions and control the flow of people to a secure area, building or facility. - [Tim Purpura](https://www.morsewatchmans.com/blog/author/tim-purpura) - 5 min read - Feb 26, 2018 5:06:16 AM ## [The Changing Nature of Stadium Security](https://www.morsewatchmans.com/blog/the-changing-nature-of-stadium-security) Professional sports is a high-octane, fast-paced world with needs that can change in an instant. Major sports stadiums contribute to the ever-changing nature of the business, and not just by providing the facilities to hold the games themselves. These state-of-the-art venues perform an extensive slate of functions in order to create a complete experience that makes lasting memories and creates loyal fans excited to return and cheer on their team again. -
