Command every cell block, gate and alert from one system.

QRM™ becomes the unified operating system for your facility, daily operations, staff accountability and critical events in a single command picture. Underneath it sits HQE-engineered life safety and electronic security hardware, built and supported by the same team that writes the software.

// The Challenge

Facilities that never close can't run on systems that don't talk.

Corrections teams work around the clock with infrastructure that was installed one contract at a time. When an incident starts, officers in Central Control end up stitching the picture together by radio, by phone and by memory.

  1. 01

    Aging intercom, paging and access hardware

    Intercoms that crackle, paging that doesn't reach every housing unit, door controllers past end of life. Every workaround adds risk and adds a step during the moments that matter most.

  2. 02

    Siloed security consoles

    Cameras on one screen, doors on another, alarms on a third. Operators watch several interfaces at once and still have to piece together where an event is happening.

  3. 03

    Slow staff roll-call during incidents

    When something goes wrong, the first question is "is every officer accounted for?" Counting heads over radio channels takes time your team doesn't have.

  4. 04

    Manual incident reports

    Reports are reconstructed after the fact from notes, logs and recollection, hard to complete consistently and harder to defend when they're reviewed.

// The Solution

Four capabilities. One command picture.

HQE designs, builds and installs the hardware on your walls and the software in your control room, so detection, alerting, accountability and documentation all land in the same place.

Perimeter · Doors · Video

Electronic Security

Access control and cameras engineered for secure environments, integrated so that a door event and the video around it appear together for the operator.

  • Access control for gates, sally ports and interior doors
  • Camera coverage tied to door and alarm events
  • Integration of existing intercom and security subsystems into one console
Officer Safety

Duress & Panic

Officers carry a way to call for help that works without reaching for a radio, and staff posts have a fixed point to raise and receive alerts.

  • Wearable panic buttons for officers on the floor
  • Hidden panic buttons at posts, desks and visitation
  • Wall-mounted digital alert tablets for zone-level alerting
SMART EMNS

Mass Notification

Reach every housing unit, yard and office with the right message, audibly, visually and accessibly, from AI/ML command-and-control software with 256-bit encryption, on-premise or in the cloud.

  • Indoor speakers and overhead paging
  • Outdoor sirens for yards and perimeter
  • Digital signs and ADA strobe speakers
QRM™ Command

Staff Accountability & Incident Command

Know who is safe, who is responding and what has happened, and capture it as it happens, not afterwards.

  • Roll-call and muster through Operational Communications
  • ICS forms from the ICS Library, ready when an incident opens
  • Operations Center console and built-in incident reporting

QRM™ ties it together

Every alarm, door event, notification and check-in becomes part of one record in QRM™, the same unified operating system that runs your staffing, training and day-to-day operations.

// How We Deliver

From walkthrough to sustainment, one accountable team.

HQE engineers, installs and supports the full system, so there's never a question about who owns the outcome.

  1. Assess

    We walk the facility, review current intercom, paging, access and alarm infrastructure, and map how your officers respond today.

  2. Design

    We engineer coverage zone by zone, housing, yards, intake, medical and administration, around your post orders and procedures.

  3. Integrate

    We connect security, duress and notification systems into QRM™ so Central Control works from a single operating picture.

  4. Deploy

    Our contracting team installs and commissions the system with minimal disruption to a facility that can't stop running.

  5. Sustain

    Training, testing and ongoing support keep the system ready, and keep your staff confident using it under pressure.

// Outcomes

What changes when the facility runs on one system.

Awareness

A single operating picture

Doors, cameras, duress alarms and notifications in one console. Operators stop toggling between screens and start directing the response.

Accountability

Faster staff accountability

Electronic roll-call replaces radio head-counts, so supervisors see who has checked in, and who hasn't, while the incident is still unfolding.

Documentation

Auditable incident records

Alerts, actions and check-ins are captured as they happen, giving your team a consistent, time-stamped record to review and stand behind.
