Proactive Deterrence for Tennessee Public Pools Decreases Weekly Breaches by 90% with Pole Mounted Enclosures & Cameras
Stop watching crime. Prevent it.
Client’s Needs
A major public aquatic service in Tennessee, was facing a severe and persistent liability threat: unsupervised, after-hours trespassing at its 13 city-run swimming pool facilities. Teenagers and children were routinely climbing the perimeter fences to swim, an activity that exposed the city to significant risk, including potential harm and drownings. In the program’s early stages, the client was struggling with roughly 150 unauthorized pool entry events every single week. The critical need was an immediate, proactive security measure that could reliably deter trespassers before they even reached the water, upgrading their security posture from reactive monitoring to preventative protection.
Service Deliverables
Leveraging a strong, decade-long professional relationship with the client, SkyCop deployed a modern, layered security solution. We installed our patented pole-mounted enclosures, which house advanced surveillance technology. The core of the solution was the integration of Camect Analytics and high-decibel speakers, configured for real-time alerts and talk-down capabilities.
Our SkyCop service team configured advanced analytic tracking zones, utilizing line crossing and intrusion detection rules at each pool facility. This system is designed to provide proactive deterrence: when the perimeter is breached, an audible siren is immediately activated, while simultaneously notifying the central monitoring station. Operators can then issue live warnings or dispatch law enforcement, stopping incidents before they escalate.
Results
The partnership has delivered measurable results over 10 years. From the initial baseline of approximately 150 events per week across the 13 pools, the effective deployment of our proactive system has reduced unauthorized incidents to fewer than 5–10 breaches weekly by 2025. More importantly, the system’s real-time audible siren successfully runs off intruders before they can enter the water, eliminating the client’s most significant liability exposure. The integration of Camect Analytics allowed the client to effectively prevent break-ins and ensure public safety across all facilities.
