FINALS Second Year Flashcards
While keeping people and property safe and secure is serious business, that doesn’t mean a security officer can’t also be friendly and helpful.
CUSTOMER RELATIONS
This gives them a sense of personal contact and helps you mention who is coming and going in your building.
CUSTOMER CONTACT
Being polite and friendly while maintaining professionalism goes a long way toward putting people at ease while still making them feel secure.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Offering assistance when you’re able is an effective method of customer service.
ASSISTANCE
Your job likely comes with some specific rules for dealing with many issues, from confrontations to emergencies.
FINDING BALANCE
A type of security applied to business groups engaged in industries like manufacturing assembling research and development, processing, warehousing and even agriculture.
INDUSTRIAL SECURITY
A type of security applied to hotels where its properties are protected from pilferage, loss, damage and the function in the hotel restaurants are not disturbed and troubled by outsiders or the guests themselves. This type of security employs house detectives, uniform guard and supervisor and insures that hotel guests and their personal effects safeguarded.
HOTEL SECURITY
This type of security is concern with bank operations. Its main objective is the protection of bank cash and assets, its personnel are trained to safeguard and properties as well as the supermarket personnel bank and assets while in storage, in transit and during transaction.
BANK SECURITY
A type of security applied for the protection of top-ranking officials of the government of private entity, visiting persons of illustrious standing and foreign dignitaries.
VIP SECURITY

SCHOOL SECURITY
A type of security which is concern with the protection of the stores, warehouses, storage, its immediate premises and properties as well as the supermarket personnel are trained to detect shoplifter, robbery, and bomb detection and customer relation.
SUPERMARKET OR MALL SECURITY
It is the total of all physical protection employed or installed to secure assists.
PHYSICAL SECURITY
It is the sum total of procedures followed, inquiries conducted, and criteria applied to determine the work suitable of a particular applicant or retention or transfer of a particular employee.
PERSONNEL SECURITY
Complete or partial background investigation is conducted to determine whether the
Applicant should hire or not, or the same investigation is conducted to determine whether the employee should remain in his present position or to be transferred to less or non-sensitive position.
PROCEDURE
It is a process of determining the loyalty, honesty, integrity, reputation, and others of a particular applicant or employee.
INQUIRY
Enumerated standard, like education, experience, age, citizenship, and family background, potential is being verified if true or not
CRITERIA
It is the sum total of all policies, regulation, practices, enforce to safeguards the contents and integrity of any classified information or document from compromise or loss.
DOCUMENT AND INFORMATION SECURITY
Security document and information are the responsibility of all concerned.
POLICY
Anybody found guilty of violating document and information security shall deal with accordingly.
REGULATION
Access to information is based on the “need to know” and not by position.
DOCTRINE
Authority to have access to classified information is not permanent but can be withdrawn by the originating authority.
PRACTICE
Are being used to defined, protect, and monitor property rights and assets. These measures consist of barriers and devices that would detect, impede, and prevent unauthorized access to equipment, facilities, material and document and to safeguard them against espionage, sabotage, damage and theft.
PHYSICAL SECURITY / PHYSICAL SECURITY MEASURES
In most cases espionage, acquisition of information is the ultimate result, and means and form in which information is obtained is merely an operational detail. Normally, information on tapes and film is as usable as the original documents. Therefore, in considering access, one should think not only of current physical access, but also access to the discussion of the matter by the use of clandestine listening device.
ENEMY AGENTS MUST HAVE ACCESS
In an unfriendly government or organization is willing to devote enough time, money, personnel, materials and imagination to passing a barrier, it can do so. So, we attempt to build defense in depth by using then one barrier.
THERE IS NO IMPENETRABLE BARRIER
The possibility of surreptitious entry is the greatest hazard from the standpoint of counterintelligence security because it is usually difficult to neutralize the act of espionage because surreptitious entry is not usually detected.
SURREPTITIOUS VS NON-SURREPTITIOUS
Since each installation is different each will have different problems to overcome. The security procedures will not be adequate for all installations.
EACH INSTALLATION IS DIFFERENT
Refers to any physical structure whether natural or manmade capable or restricting, deterring, delaying or preventing illegal and unauthorized access to an installation.
BARRIERS
Minimum Acceptable Requirements for Fence used as Security Barrier: HEIGHT
8 FEET AT MINIMUM
Minimum Acceptable Requirements for Fence used as Security Barrier: SLACK AT THE BOTTOM
NOT TO EXCEED TWO INCHES
Minimum horizontal dimension of four inches by four inches.
WOODEN FENCE POST
The round type should be at least two inches in diameter and the H-beam type must measurable no less than two inches at the smallest diameter.
STEEL FENCE POST
Should be set in concrete or in firm soil using commercial drive anchors, to a depth of three feet; Maximum distance between posts is ten feet.
FENCE POST
There should be something on the top of the fence to deter persons attempting to go over the fence good example would be the use of barbed wire overhand, holding the stands of barbed wire should be two feet long and should be extended at 45-degree angle in the direction of the expected approach.
FENCE TOP
The area surrounding the fence should be clear of trees and vegetation and debris or other materials which would offer concealment to the intruder or would aid him in scaling.
FENCE AREA
Gates should be limited to the number necessary for efficient and safe operation of the installation.
FENCE GATE
All opening in the fence in excess of 96 inches must be lock, barred, or screened in such way that they may only be unlocked and opened from the inside and only by selected personnel.
FENCE OPENING
If used, it should be at least ten feet apart and the overhang on the top of the inner fence should point inward rather than away from the installation maximum distance any two parallel fences should not exceed 150 feet.
MULTIPLE FENCE
Such as rivers, cliffs, and ravines, etc. which delay or make more difficult the entry of the intruder.
NATURAL BARRIER
Are structural construction like fences walls, floors, roofs, grills, bars, road blocks, or other physical means to deter or impede penetration.
MAN-MADE BARRIER
It includes bodies of waters, mountains, marshes, ravines, desert or other terrain that are difficult to traverse.
NATURAL BARRIER
These are features constructed by man regardless of their original intent that tends to delay the intruder. Examples are walls, doors, windows, locks, fences, safe, cabinets or containers etc.
STRUCTURAL BARRIER
Persons being used in providing a guarding system or by the nature of their employment and location, fulfil security functions. Examples are guards, office personnel, shop workers, etc.
HUMAN BARRIER
Animals are used in partially providing a guarding system. Dogs are usually trained and utilized to serve as guard dogs. German shepherds are best suited for security functions. Goose and turkeys could also be included.
ANIMAL BARRIER
It is the employment of mechanical, electrical, electric energy imposes a deterrent to entry by the potential intruder or to provide warning to guard personnel. These are protective lightning, alarm system and any electronic devices used as barriers.
ENERGY BARRIER
Perimeter fences / barriers.
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
Doors, floors, windows, walls, roofs and grills and other entries to the buildings.
SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE
Storage system like steel cabinets, safes, vaults and interior files.
THIRD LINE OF DEFENSE
A medium or structure which defines the physical limits of an installation or area to restrict or impede access thereto. It is any physical barrier used to supplement the protection of an inside or outside perimeter.
PERIMETER BARRIER
A line adjacent to protected area, and passing through points of possible entry into the area, such as doors, windows, skylights, tunnel or other points of access.
INSIDE PERIMETER
A line of protection surroundings but somewhat removed from a protected area, such as a fence.
OUTSIDE PERIMETER
Can be barbed wire, chain link or concertina.
WIRE FENCE
Type of wire fence used for permanent structure.
CHAIN LINK
Type of wire fence used for semi-permanent.
BARBED WIRE
Type of wire fence used for the least permanent and also can be used as a temporary road block or impediment during strikes and crowd control.
CONCERTINA
Are attractive and low in maintenance cost; they offer less hazard to people because of the absence of barbs, and the openings are small to prevent passage of pilfered article.
WIRE FENCE
Constructed in such a way that visual access through the fence is denied. Its advantage is that it denies the opportunity for the intruder to become familiar with the personnel, activities and the time scheduled of the movements of the guards in the installation.
SOLID FENCE
It prevents the guards from observing the area around the installation and it creates shadow that may be used by the intruder for cover and concealment.
SOLID FENCE
It is constructed in such a way that visual access is permitted through the fence. Its advantages are that it allows the roving patrols and stationary guard to keep the surrounding area of the installation under observation.
FULL-VIEW FENCE
It allows the intruder to become familiar with the guard patrols thereby allowing him to pick the time that is advantageous on his part.
FULL-VIEW FENCE
Walls, Floors, roof or their combination serve also as barriers and they should be of such construction to provide uniform protection just like the wire fencing.
BUILDING WALL
Can be made of stone slabs like adobe or hollow bound by concrete with post at regular intervals to prevent the wall from toppling due to wind, or scouring facilities, security must sit down with design engineers so that area where sensitive activity will be done should be given special emphasis in protective walls.
WALL
Like river, lake, marsh, cataract, sea pond or any other bodies of water forming a part of the wall, building or fencing should never be considered adequate natural perimeter barrier.
BODIES OF WATER
When not in use and controlled by guards, gates and doors in the perimeter should be locked and frequently inspected by guards. Lock should be changed from time to time and should be covered under protective locks and key control.
GATES AND DOORS
These provide access to areas within the perimeter barrier and should be locked and guarded.
SIDE-WALK ELEVATORS
Sewers, air intakes, exhaust tunnels and other utility openings which penetrate the barrier and which have cross sectional areas of 96 square inches or more should be protected by bars, grills, water filled traps or other structural means providing equivalent protection to that portion of the perimeter barriers.
UTILITIES OPENING
An obstructed area or a “clear zone” should be maintained on both sides of the perimeter barrier. A clear zone of 20 feet or more is desirable between the barriers and exterior structures and natural covers that may provide seeking unauthorized entry.
CLEAR ZONES
This increases the protective height and prevents easy access.
TOP GUARD
This is normally provided at main perimeter entrances to secure areas located out-of-doors, and manned by guards on full-time basis. Sentry station should be near a perimeter for surveillance at the entrance.
GUARD CONTROL STATIONS
This is a house like structure above the perimeter barriers. The higher the tower, the more visibility it provides. It gives a psychological unswerving effect to violators. By and large guard towers, whether permanent or temporary, must have a corresponding support force in the event of need.
TOWER GUARD
Fencing barriers and protective walls should always be regularly inspected by security. Any sign or attempts to break in should be reported for investigation. Destruction of fence or sections thereof should be repaired immediately and guard vigilance should be increased.
BARRIER MAINTENANCE
In large open areas or ground where fencing or walling is impractical and expensive, warning signs should be conspicuously placed.
PROTECTION IN DEPTH
Should be erected where necessary in the management of unauthorized ingress to preclude accidental entry.
CONTROL SIGNS / SIGNS AND NOTICES
Personal inspection of all guards prior to their starting tour of duty. Periodic checks of guards during their tour by the senior member of each relief or his representative.
PERSONAL SUPERVISION
Guard takes with him on his tour of duty a form which must have the time punched on it at each station.
RECORDED TOUR
This is where the guard sends signals to guard headquarters from each station that he checks.
SUPERVISORY TOUR
Direct line telephone or in some instances radio.
PRIMARY COMMUNICATION
ex. Messengers.
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION
Is the single most cost-effective deterrent to crime because it creates a psychological deterrent to the intruders.
PROTECTIVE LIGHTING
The most familiar type of outdoor security lighting, this is designed to provide two specific results: glare projection or controlled lighting. It consists of a series of fixed luminaries at range to flood a given area continuously during the hours of darkness.
CONTINUOUS LIGHTING
The intensity is focused to the intruder while the observer or guard remained in the comparative darkness, the lighting is toward of the approach of an entrance to an installation.
GLARE PROJECTION TYPE
The lighting is focused on the pile of items, rather than the background. The width of the lighted strip can be controlled and adjusted to suit the security needs.
CONTROLLED LIGHTING
It is designed for reserve or standby use or to supplement continuous systems. A standby system can be most useful to selectively light a particular area in an occasional basis.
STANDBY LIGHTING
This system is manually operated and is usually made up of movable search or floodlights that can be located in selected or special locations which will require lighting only for short period of time.
MOVABLE OR PORTABLE LIGHTING
This system is used in times of power failure or other emergencies when other system is inoperative.
EMERGENCY LIGHTING
It is the least expensive in terms of energy consumed and has the advantage of providing instant illumination when the switch is on.
INCANDESCENT LAMP
It is considered more efficient that he incandescent and used widespread in exterior lighting. This emits a purplish white color, caused by an electric current passing through a tube of conducting and luminous gas.
MERCURY VAPOR LAMP
It has similar physical appearance to mercury vapour but provides a light source of higher luminous efficiency and better color rendition.
METAL HALIDE
This provides good color rendition, high lamp efficiency as well as long life. However, it cannot project light over long distance and thus are not desirable as flood type lights.
FLUORESCENT
This has gained acceptance for exterior lighting of parking areas, roadways, buildings and commercial interior installations. Constructed on the same principle as mercury vapour lamps, they emit a golden white to light pink color and this provide high lumen efficiency and relatively good color rendition.
HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM VAPOR
These can be used to accommodate most outdoor security lighting needs, including the illumination of boundaries, fences and buildings and for the emphasis of vital areas or particular buildings.
FLOODLIGHTS
