2. Design:
   • Do not to overcrowd your slides with information.
   • Be thorough, but also be concise.
   • Use bullet points to highlight main points.
   • If you use graphics, be sure to condense them, so your presentation is not too large.

   • PowerPoint does not require that you write full sentences or paragraphs; in fact, this will detract from your presentation.
   • Your ideas must flow logically and your points should be presented in a consistent format.
   • Check your spelling and use standard American English.
4. Consult at least three (3) SCHOLARLY sources in preparing your presentation. (The last slide should be a "References" slide; follow APA format.

• Students should not use sources that are more than 10 years old.  Students should use scholarly sources via the MDC online library.  
• If the professor is not able to retrieve the information, it will not be considered as a source and or the information will be assumed to be plagiarized.
• You must cite your source on each slide.  Points will be deducted for not doing so.

Schools to use

ETHEL KOGER BECKHAM

FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY 

MIAMI DADE CAMPUS KENDALL CAMPUS

Visit the school to evaluate/assess its physical security.

Identify soft and hard targets.

(First conduct research to define what a soft and a hard target is.)

(Include the perimeter of the school, the structure/building.   If a large school (such as MDC), focus on one building and one classroom.)

Describe the types of security measures (layers) currently used at the school.

What types of crime is the school susceptible to? 

(What common types of crime happen at these schools around the country? What can be done to minimize the crimes?)

Provide statistics on the crimes that have occurred in the past year (or most current data) at this school (e.g., MDPSP or college data [Clery Act] [See Course Resources/Research Articles & Links]).

What policies are in place to protect students and faculty?

(Conduct research on this.  Most schools provide this information online.)

What recommendations would you make to improve the security at the school both physically and policy-wise?
