Intrusion Alert and Access Control System Upgrade Bid

This project will include a comprehensive security system upgrade that includes the full replacement of the existing intrusion alarm system and the installation of an expanded RFID-based access control system. This upgrade should enhance physical security, ensure emergency responsiveness, and modernize infrastructure for centralized and remote management. Coordination with NPL’s IT department will focus on secure network integration, data privacy compliance, and proper endpoint configuration.

From September 2-30, please drop off non-perishable food donations in cans, plastic containers, or boxes in our lobby to help support local families in need. We will bring all of the donated items to the Northfield Township Food Pantry in early October.
