Hi everyone! Does anyone here go to the Richmond, VA PP? Does it have a badge-out system?

As a new employee about to start on Monday, how secure is the Richmond office? Can anyone just get on the campus, or is there security at the entrance where you need to show your badge to enter? I don’t want to walk out to the parking lot and see that my car was broken in to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
