 INTRODUCTION TO SECURITY
DEFINITION OF SECURITY:

“A condition of being protected from harm, injury, danger, losses,

criminals, threats, risks, etc.”

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE:
From the earliest times humans have recognized the need to protect
themselves, their family and their property. Like
 Forming small groups and living together.
 Maintaining order.
 Recognizing the threats
 Raising armies and their deployment in territorial boundaries.
Planning for security will be done by the following three steps:
 Vulnerability analysis
 Countermeasures planning and implementation
 Through test of its operation
Factors considered for security planning:
 Crimes and loss incidents
 Social environment
 Legal system
 Loss prevention resources

ACCESS CONTROL
Access control is the ability to permit or deny
Access control programs are instituted to:
 Permit or deny entry to or presence in a given place
 Increase or reduce the rate or density of movement to, from, or
within a defined place.
 Protect persons, materials, and information from unauthorized
observation or removal.
 Prevent injury to people or damage to material.
Identity of employees or visitors can be determined by human or a
computer:
 Security guards
 Card reader systems
 Biometric readers
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS

Communication is process of conveying information from a sender to

receiver with the use of a medium in which the communicated
information is understood the same way by both sender and receiver.
There are three general types of communication equipment are used
which communicates the audio and visual information by use of wired,
radio, and light as medium.

ELECTRONIC ALARM SYSTEMS

A device which notifies designated people about the impending by way

of audible or visual signal.
Three general categories of devices are outlined based on what they
protect:
 Perimeter or point of entry
 General area or room
 Object
The following are the general sensor technologies used in alarm
systems:
 Passive infrared
 Glass break sensors
 Electro mechanical
 Ultrasonic or microwave
 Vibration or shock
 Photoelectric
 Audio
 Capacitance

EMERGENCY PLANNING

An emergency is a situation which poses immediate risk to health, life,

property, and environment.
Emergency planning will highlight the types of emergencies which the
organization likely to encounter and the emergency management team
may have to take counter measures or require them to consider in
advance for preventing or minimizing its adverse effects.

An emergency plan should accomplish the following:

 Define the emergency
 Organize a team with specific tasks to complete, before, during,
and after an emergency.
 Establish a method for using available resources
 Provide means to restore normal operations from the emergency
situation.
Planning priorities
 Protect life
 Prevent or minimize injuries
 Reduce the exposure of assets
 Optimize the loss control whose exposure cannot be reduced.
 Restore the normal operations as quickly as possible.
EMPLOYEE DISHONESTY

detect and identify within any organization.
Employee dishonesty starts at:
 Accepting bribes

It is remarkable how quickly how quickly human mind losses a

considerable part of its ability to recall the details of events accurately
he observed in the past. Hence the field note is the invaluable tool in the
hands of investigator.

 Disorder or unusual activity.
 Hazardous conditions.
 Any other special notices.
Report writing:
Reports can be classified as follows:

High Explosives:

High explosives are normally employed in mining, demolition, and

military warheads. These explosives are divided as follows:
 Primary explosives
These explosive are extremely sensitive to mechanical shock,
friction, and heat, to which they will respond by burning rapidly or
detonation.
 Secondary explosives
These explosives are relatively insensitive to shock, friction, and
heat. They require a booster to cause an explosion. Examples of high
explosives are:
o Dynamite
o TNT
o RDX
o PETN
o HMX
o Picric acid
o Gun cotton
o Fulminates
 Tertiary explosives
Explosive devices:
The mechanisms for explosive devices are of two types:

CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
Crime prevention through environmental design is a concept of
planning and designing area and built environment to reduce the
incidence and fear of crime by implementing the following four
concepts from planning stage to building construction stage. The
concepts are:
1. Natural Surveillance – allowing movements of outsiders and
intruders easily observable without any obstructions.
2. Territorial Reinforcement – developing a sense of territorial
control by separating the private and public spaces, construction
of fences, gateway procedures, etc.
3. Natural Access Control – Creating perception risk, easy detection,
High probability of being caught, etc.
4. Target Hardening – installation of protection systems against
possible intrusions by adversaries.
