18
CONCEPT OF SECURITY

SECURITY is the state of being secured; freedom from fear or danger.

Security is also defined as a defense against crime.

SECURITY PLANNING is a corporate and an executive responsibility.

It is involve knowing the objectives of security and the means and methods
to reach those objectives or goals must then be involved. In short, security
planning is a decision making process.

The Contents of Security Plan are as Follows:

1. THE SITUATION. This part of security plan explains the historical

background or the organization of its security picture.
2. THE MISSION. This part of the security plan will cover what plan is all
about and what it intends to do. This mission is subdivided into: (a)
Purpose; (b) Goals; and (c) Objectives.
3. EXECUTION. This part of the security plan will explain and outline the
concept of the security project.
4. ADMINISTRATIVE AND LOGISTICS. This part of security plan involves the
listings of security equipment.
5. COMMAND AND SIGNAL. This last portion of the security plan pertains to
the channels of communication needed when implementing the project until
in full operation.

examination and thorough inspection of all operational systems and
procedures of a facility.

Purpose of Security Survey

a. To determine existing state of security

b. To locate weaknesses in defenses
c. To determine degree of protection required
d. To produce recommendations, establishing a total security program

SECURITY INSPECTION is the process of conducting physical examination to

determine compliance with established security policies and procedures as a
result of security survey.

TYPES OF GUARD FORCES

protecting operational processes from those disruption which impeded
efficiency of halt operations at a particular plant, facility, institution or special
activity.

and structures within the protected areas except when a building wall
constitutes part of the perimeter barriers.

OTHER ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES OTHER THAN PHYSICAL

AND PERIMETER BARRIERS

5. Detecting a change in capacitance due to penetration of an electrostatic
field.

TYPES OF PROTECTIVE ALARM/ALARM DETECTION SYSTEMS

a. LOCAL ALARM SYSTEM – this system consist of rigging up a visual or

audible alarm near the object to be protected. In case of alarm, response will
be made by the local guards and other personnel within sight or hearing.
b. AUXILIARY SYSTEM – one in which the installation system owned is a
direct extension of the police and fire alarm system.
c. CENTRAL STATION SYSTEM – in this system, alarms are transmitted to a
central station outside the installation from which appropriate action is
taken, such as notifying the local police and fire department.
d. PROPRIETARY SYSTEM – it is similar to the central station system, except
it is owned by and located on the installation.

COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN SECURITY

B. Lever Tumbler Lock – lock used in safe deposit box and mail boxes.
C. Disc Tumbler Lock – also known as wafer tumbler lock.
D. Pin Tumbler Lock – the most widely used lock

COMBINATION LOCK is a lock that requires manipulation of parts

according to a predetermined combination code of numbers or letters.

PADLOCK is used to secure two objects like a lock in the same relative
position.

MASTER KEYING is when a lock operates on a master key plus an

individual or change key.

PASS KEY is a key used to operate an inexpensive lock by moving it in

keyhole until it catches locking belt and unlock mechanism.

TYPES OF AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM

1. Wet Piper System – water held in pipes.

2. Dry Piper System – when sprinkler head is ruptured, a pressurized air
escape and water rushes into the pipes.

resistivity such as two, three, or four hours. The consideration for the
construction of vaults are:

1. Location 3. Vault Utilities

2. Structural Foundation 4. Doors

FACTORS THAT BRING ABOUT INSECURE CONDITION

Threats- positive inimical acts.

Hazards- passive inimical conditions.

Vulnerability degree of exposure against intrusion, attack

or injury.

TYPES OF BARRIERS

Natural Barriers – refers to natural terrain features that delay or make

the entry or access of intruder difficult. Examples: rivers, cliffs, ravines, etc.

Structural Barriers – refers to barriers or features constructed by man

that tend to deny access, or delay intrusion. Examples: walls, fences, roofing’s,
ceilings, etc.

Human Barriers – refers to guards, office and shop workers who stand
between the intruder and the matter being protected.

Animal Barriers – refers to canine or dogs trained to guard duties such

as German Shepherds, Doberman, etc.

Energy Barriers – refers to the electrical or electronic devices used to

enhance security in addition to the guard system. Examples: protective lighting
and anti-intrusion alarm system.

COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL SECURITY

 Perimeter Barriers (1st Line of Defense)

 Building Exteriors (2nd Line of Defense)
 Interior Controls (3rd Line of Defense)

A Perimeter Barrier – refers to the medium which defines the physical

limits of an installation or area, and restricts or impeded access thereto

24
Main Purpose of Perimeter Barrier:

To deny or impede access or exit of unauthorized person

Other Purpose/Practical Application of Perimeter Barrier

 It defines the boundary of the property being protected;

 It creates a physical and psychological deterrent to unauthorized entry;
 It delays intrusion and facilitates arrests of intruders;
 It assists in more efficient and economical guard system; and
 It improves control of pedestrians and movement of traffic.

Best Example of Perimeter Barrier Placed in an Installation – FENCE

FENCE maybe defined as an independent structure usually existing in a

vertical plane, designed to control physical and/or visual access between
outside areas.

TYPES OF FENCES

 Solid Fence
 Full View Fence

Solid Fence – a fence constructed out of opaque materials in such a way

that a visual access through the fence structure is impossible.

Advantages of Solid Fence:

 It denies observation and viewing of the installation from outside.

 It denies intruder the opportunity to become familiar with the personnel,
activities, and the time schedules and movement of guards within the
installation.

Disadvantages of Solid Fence:

 It prevents the security guard from observing the area around the
installation;
 It creates shadow that maybe used by the intruder as cover and
concealment

FULL VIEW FENCE – a fence constructed in such a way that a visual

access through the fence is possible. Barbed wire, cyclone wire (chain link),
concertina or decorative grills are example of Full View Fence.

Advantages of Full View Fence:

 It permits 24 – hour observation by roving and stationary security

guards;
 It does not create shadows for possible cover and concealment

25
Disadvantages of Full View Fence

 It allows visual access / observation to the installation by outsiders /

intruders;
 It allows intruder to become familiar with the movement and time
schedule of security personnel

SOME SPECIFICATIONS OF FULL VIEW FENCE

 Height. At least 7 feet (8 feet including top guard)

 Vertical Clearance at the Bottom. No more than 2 inches
 Wooden Fence Post. Minimum horizontal dimension
 Fence Post. Should be Concrete
 Top Guard. 45 degree angle. Upward and outward
 Chain Link. Not more than 3 inches in diameter

PROTECTIVE LIGHTING

BUILDING EXTERIORS – 2nd line of Defense

 Walls  Roofing’s
 Doors  Ceilings
 Windows  Fire Escapes

INTERIOR CONTROL – 3rd line of Defense

 Guard and Guard System

 Restricted Areas
 ID System
 Entry/Exit Control (visitors, clients, suppliers)
 Vehicle Identification and Control
 Communication Systems
 Emergency Plans

GUARD SYSTEM – the strategic placement and combination of human,

animal and energy barriers between the intruder and the matter to be
protected.

Functions of the Guard System

 Sounds Alarms  Identifies unauthorized

personnel

 Apprehends unauthorized  Detects intruder

personnel

2 Basic Techniques of Guard Employment:

 Stationary (Fixed)
26
  Moving (Patrol)

TYPES OF GUARD FORCE SYSTEM

 Proprietary Guards
 Contract Guards
 Government Guard

PROPRIETARY GUARDS

Advantages:

 Generally high caliber

 Provide better service
 Knows more complex security issues
 Less turnover
 More loyal to the company

Disadvantages:

 Possibility of joining guard union is high
 Non availability of back up personnel

CONTRACT GUARDS

Advantages:

 Less expensive
 Convenient
 Lesser administrative/personnel related problems
 Free from Payroll-related problem
 Relieved of guard supervision
 Availability of Back up guards
 Security Agency usually accepts civil liability

Disadvantages:

 Improper Training
 Low Caliber personnel
 Project image
 No loyalty to company
 Large turnover
