Physical security - describes the measures that are
designed to deny access to unauthorized personnel
from physically accessing a building, facility, stored
information and guidance on how to design structures
to resist potentially hostile acts.
- a system of barriers placed
between a potential intruder and the material or
installation to be protected.
Security - the predictable state or condition which is
free from harm, injury, destruction, intimidation or
fear. Freedom from fear or danger or defense against
crime.
Physical Security System - a barrier or system of
barriers placed between the potential intruder and the
matter to be protected. Protective device against
hazards, threats, vulnerability and risks.
Purpose/Goals of Physical security
1. deter potential intruders - ex. warning signs,
perimeter markings
2. distinguish authorized from unauthorized
people - ex. using pass card
3. delay or prevent intrusion attempt - ex. wall,
door lock, safe
4. detect intrusion and monitor/record intruders -
e. CCTV, intrusion alarm
5. trigger appropriate incident responses - ex.
security guards
How to deter potential intruders
1. install warning signs -
2. build fences
3. put vehicle barriers
4. install vehicle height restriction
5. implement restricted access point
6. install sight lighting and trenches
How to distinguish authorized from unauthorized
people - access control at the
1. gates
2. doors
3. locks

their principal duty was as a fire brigade.
Notable security guards:
1. Frank Wills - detected the Watergate
burglars ultimately leading to the resignation
of US president Richard Nixon.
Target hardening - the reduction in criminal
opportunity, generally through the use of physical
barriers, architectural design and enhanced security
measures of a particular location.
Defensible Space - the range of mechanisms that
combine to bring an environment under the control of
its residents.
Demography - the study of the characteristics of
population groups.
Principles of Physical Security
1. An intruder must be able to acquire access to the
property in order to benefit.
2. The type of access necessary will depend upon a
number of variable factors and therefore may be
achieved in a number of ways.
3. There is no impenetrable barrier.
4. Security is built upon a system of defense in depth
resulting to accumulated delay time which may lead
to the apprehension of the intruder.
5. Each installation is different from the others.
2 Kinds of Barriers
1. Natural
2. Artificial
5 Types of Barriers
1. Human
2. Animal
3. Natural
4. Energy/Electrical/Electronic
5. Structural
3 Line of Defense
1. Perimeter Barrier - 1st line of defense.
2. Building Exterior - 2nd line of defense.
3. Interior Controls - 3rd line of defense.
Perimeter Barrier - main purpose is to deny or
impede access or exit of unauthorized persons.
Other Purposes
1. It defines the boundary of the property to be
secured.
2. It creates a physical and psychological deterrent
to unauthorized entry.
3. It delays intrusion, thus facilitating apprehension
of intruders.
4. It assists in a more efficient and economical
employment of guards.
5. It facilitates and improves the control of pedestrian
and vehicular traffic.

10.Guards
Natural barriers or features - such as cliffs, ravines,
and rivers which delay or make more difficult to entry
of intruders.
Barriers - any line of boundary and separation, natural
or artificial, places, or serving as limitation or
obstruction. Anything that bars, keep out, obstruct
progress, or prevents encroachment or intrusion.
Structural barriers - features constructed by man
regardless of their original intent that tends to delay
the intruder. ex. walls, ceilings, locks, safe, windows.
Human barriers - guards, charges of quarters, office
personnel, shop workers etc. who stand between the
intruder and the matter to be protected.
Animal barriers - usually guard dog. ex. trained
German shepherds used as guards, goose, and turkeys
can also be included.
Energy barriers - usually electrical or electronics
devices used to provide assistance to guard personnel.
ex. protective lightnings, anti-intrusion devices.
Full view fence - it is designed primarily to prevent
physical access between two areas. Constructed in such
a way that visual access is permitted through the fence.
Physical Security Features:
1. Natural barriers - natural terrains features must be
considered from the stand point of their values to
intruder as cover and concealment. Normally the
first type considered very often we have to accept
and work around them.
2. Fences
a. solid fence - one is constructed in such a way that
visual access through the fenced structure is denied.
b. full view fence - constructed in such a way that
usual access is permitted through the fence.
Advantages of a full view fence
1. removing patrols and stationary guards are able to
keep area surrounding of the installation under
observation.
2. it does not create shadows which would provide
cover and concealment for the intruder.
Disadvantages of a full view fence
1. It allows visual access to the installation, its
personnel, its guard and its activities.
2. It allows the intruders to become familiar with the
movements and the time schedule of the guard
patrols thereafter allowing him to pick the time for
attempting penetration which would most
advantageous to the intruder.
Advantages of solid fence
1. Denies visual access of the installation of the
intruder.
2. Denies the opportunity for the intruder to become
familiar with the personnel, activities and the time
schedule of the movements of guards in the
installations.
Disadvantages of solid fence
1. It prevents the guards from observing the area
around the installation.
2. It creates shadows which may be used by the
intruder for cover and concealment.
Minimum acceptable requirements for fence used
security barriers
1. Height - 8 feet at a minimum.
2. Slack at the bottom - not to exceed 2 inches. If the
fences are not tight then it should extend even
closer to the ground.
3. Wooden fence post - minimum horizontal dimension
of 4X4 inches.
4. Steel fence post - the round type should at least be
2 inches at the smallest diameter.
5. Fence post - should be set in concrete or in firm
soil using commercial drive anchors to a depth of 3
feet and the maximum distance post is 10 feet.
6. Fence top (Top Guard) - there should be something
on the top of the fence to deter persons attempting
to go over fence. ex. use of barb wire overhang. The
arms holding the barbwire should be extended at 45
degree angle in the direction of the expected
approach.
7. Fence area - it should be declared trees and
vegetation and debris of other materials which
would offer concealment of the intruder or would
aid him in scaling the fence.
8. Fence Gates - gates should be limited to the no.
necessary for efficient and sage operation of the
installation.
9. Fence Opening - all opening in the fence in excess
of 96 inches must be locked barbed or screen in
such a way that they may be interlocked and
opened from the inside and only by selected
personnel.
10.Multiple fence - is used should at least be 10 feet
apart and the overhang on the top of the inner
fence should point inward.
4 Basic functions that must be accomplished by
the guard system
1. Detect intruders
2. Sound alarms
3. Apprehend unauthorized personnel
4. Identify authorized personnel
Personnel Control Identification
2 Types of identification
1. Personal Recognition - is the most effective
2. Artificial Identification - badges, passes etc.
System of Employment of Personnel Control
Identification
1. Pass system - a method used by security to screen
visitors or person admitted into building premises.
2. Single pass or Badge system - the least expensive
and the least secure.
3. Group pass and Badge system - one ID for one
group.
4. Multiple pass system - separate pass is required for
access to various areas in need ex. color coding
5. Spot magnetized identification passes - a code may
be placed in the device and when passes through a
machine, the code on the device is read, if it
contains wrong code or no code at all, it will alarm.
6. Access list - it contains the names of authorized
persons or personnel and is checked against
identification cards such as drivers licenses, draft
registration etc.
Visitor control - the measures used would depend on
the sensibility of the installation but could include the
following:
1. Escort - expensive but most secure
2. Time traveled - if there is a long delay or time lapse
between the departure and arrival, the visitor may
be required to show cause for the delay.
3. Visitors logs - should contain identifying data,
reasons of visit, time in and hour etc.
4. Visitors entrances - separate access for visitors and
separate for employees.
Utility and maintenance personnel - escort system
could be used. If these people visit the installations on
a regular basis some of the systems previously could be
used.
Package control - there should be provisions made to
check packages being taken in and taken out.
Photography - extreme caution must be exercised in
areas where classified information is displayed to
preclude unauthorized taking of pictures of the
installation.
Vehicular control and identification
* Most common identification is for registering at the
headquarters or gates and putting of sticker on the
windows of the vehicles.
* For visitors, the following systems are used:
1. Escort
2. Driver pool - the most secure but the most
expensive. In this system, car is driven by qualified
driver employed by the installation from the entrance
to its destination and after the conclusion of the
business of the visitor. car is driven back to the
installations entrance.
3. Time travel - used in less sensitive installations
4. Grid system - a very complicated system. The
installation is divided into grid ad squares like a
map. Each square is given a no. or letter
designation. The visitor is then given a map and
shown the route to take to his destination and
should not deviate from the prescribed route,
otherwise he could be stopped and questioned
by the guards.
5. Search of vehicles - sign should be put at the
entrance to the installation that any vehicle
entering is subject to search anytime.
Types of Protective Alarm Systems
1. Central station system - the control station is
located outside the installations. When the alarm is
sounded by a subscriber, the central station
notifies the police or protection agency.
2. Property system - the control system is located
inside the installations with its own firefighter, law
enforcer, ambulance, or bomb disposal unit.
3. Local alarm - the signaling is near the alarm itself.
When the intruder enters the installation, the alarm
goes off scaring the intruder. Purpose is just to
scare not to apprehend intruder.
4. Auxiliary alarm - the installation owned the
protective alarm with a unit in the nearest police
station so that in case of need, direct call is possible.
Kinds of Alarms
1. Intrusion alarm - any detecting devices using
electric and their combinations to signal an alarm
when actuated.
2. Laser beam alarm - a laser emitter floods the wall or
fence with a beam so that when this beam is
disturbed by a physical object, an alarm is activated
3. Photocell alarm - an invisible or visible beam is
emitted and when disturbed, it activates an alarm
or mechanical device that opens a door or lift
movable barriers, activated by light.
Basic component of an alarm system
1. Annunciation - the heart of the system of the
detecting device and is the component that
activates the triggering unit.
2. Transmission - it transmits what is detected.
3. Triggering device - the one which emits those aural
or visual signals or both.
Security Survey - The detailed check and audit of
what an installation or plant does not have in relation
to its protection from hazards.
Security Inspection - a process where physical
examination is conducted to determine compliance with
established security policies and procedures as a result
of security survey.
Purpose of security survey
1. To determine existing state or condition of security
2. To locate weaknesses and possible defense
3. To determine degree of protection required
Security hazards - an act or condition which result in
a situation conductive to a breach of the protection
system and the subsequent loss or compromise of
defense, information, company secrets, or damage to
property, personnel, or facilities.
Hazards - exposure to loss or injury.
Two General Categories of Security Hazards
1. Human hazard - caused by human
action. Ex. sabotage, pilferage, theft
2. Natural Hazard - caused by natural phenomena.

1. Human carelessness
2. Accident
3. Disaffection
4. Disloyalty
5. Subversion
6. Sabotage
7. Espionage
8. Pilferage
9. Theft

espionage or subversion and at the same time provide
freedom of action in order to provide the installation or
unit with the necessary flexibility to accomplish its
mission.
