Homework Responses Wk 8
I found out that this was harder than I initially thought and that this concept takes way more time to complete than just an 8 week period. This idea will carry on with me when I go to my next classes that I will go through in the future. Especially finding the concept that I want to talk about at the beginning of the schooling and not towards the end, or start of the final class.
I hope that you all have had a great time in your path to where you are today and continue on with your educational goals and expectations.
Thanks

Abstract
Concentric rings of security and the processes that it brings forward can be one of the best methods that any security manager utilizes in their endeavors to provide the best security for a given area and that is what the intentions of this paper are to bring forward. Using this process can integrate many different known principles and practices like CPTED and the like, in order to make the process sounder tight in the judgement of what it is that any security manager needs to use.

Target
Lack of heroic figure” (Orscheln, 2017)
Examples of RAT theory in real life
“George Floyd and other riots around the U.S.” (Orscheln, Meyer, Center for public safety, 2020)
“Hurricane Katrina and the movement of persons to Houston with higher crime rates after the displacement” (Hussey, Kotarba, Swartz, Gelinas, Landry, 2014)
New York in the 90’s and prior
L.A. early 70’s and on
Routine Activity Theory (RAT)
What can be a lack of a heroic figure
“No Cameras or guards
No Police
Lack of Prosecution
Lack of city, state, or federal backing of leadership in the prosecution of crimes” (Hussey, Kotarba, Swartz, Gelinas, Landry, 2014)
Concentric Rings of Security
Objective/target Area
When in these restricted areas, the security controls should be monitored by security personnel closely, and even more closely when the time of personnel inside the areas. Some of the policies commonly used in today’s environment in these areas are things like;
Disallowance of personnel belongings other than what is worn on the person. I.E., cell phones, computers, storage media, cameras, etc.
An initial control to the area that is an entrance control. This area is commonly not allowed to be visible by the general public of those that work inside the company and do not need access to such areas that maintain control needs.
Camera systems that have recognition software put on them to allow for a continual check of the individuals in these areas both inside the controlled access area and outside the controlled access area.
The final line of entrance into the targeted object is usually unseen to everyone that needs to not have access to this area. This might be a specific coded section that cannot be seen or known outside of such areas of control.
Main Campus Areas
Areas from building to targeted protected areas.
Measures for security that are common are items like:
Identification cards
Work or job related restrictions
Clean desk policies
Differentiation of items that need controlled access to
Escort procedures, training, and delineation of who can escort
Polices
CCTV camera systems
Etc..
Perimeter
This area consist of any road, parking lot entryways, and other areas that allow flow to the building and the stretch of area between such areas and the building perimeter.
Measures for security that are common are items like:
Bollards
Fences
Sensors such as motion detectors
Lighting
Security patrols
Territorial reenforcement
Assessment of security procedures
When assessing areas, one should look at each area in such a way as to allow for a clear idea of how the security controls are placed into the area.
Each new technology and procedure that is added an are will be given a value of .5
An additional .5 will be given when there are policies and how to implement use of the new control measures and technology
