Probability of Detection

A
  • Perfect is a “1” - reality is always less than “1”
  • Confidence Level (CL) is often described in conjunction with PD - unstated CL implies a 90% or better confidence level
  • PD is always conditional
  • PD also varies by the sophistication of threat
  • When high PD is required at all times & all weather conditions, use of multiple sensors

Q

Intrusion Detection

Probability of Detection

PD depends primarily on these facts:

A

Q

Intrusion Detection

A nuisance alarm is any alarm not caused by an intrusion

A
  • The NAR identifies the number of nuisance alarms over a given period (ideally zero, but not realistic)
  • Alarm assessment is needed to preserve manpower without assessment, detection is incomplete
  • Natural causes: vegetation, wildlife, weather conditions, etc…
  • Industrial causes: ground vibration, debris moved by wind, electromagnetic interference, etc..

Vulnerability to Defeat

A
  • All sensors can be defeated

Bypass: going around the detection

Spoof: passing through sensor’s normal detection zone without generating the alarm

Q

Barriers - Walls

Walls are generally more resistant to penetration than the doors, windows, vents, & other openings

A
  • Most can be breached with the right tools
  • Using explosives & cutting tools and adversary can make a “crawl hole” through 18” reinforced concrete in under 5 min.
  • Increasing wall thickness usually adds only a moderate delay against explosives, even though the amount of explosive needed increases substantially with a wall thickness
  • Ordinary reinforced concrete walls can be penetrated quickly because they are generally designed to support structural loads, not to thwart or delay penetration

PPS Analysis

Analysis of the PPS provides two key benefits

  • The RFP need not restrict the organization to accept the lowest bid. Instead, it aims to obtain the best value
  • If price will not be the determining factor in vendor selection, the RFP should say so

  • Jurisdictioins should regulate the color and style of private security uniforms, as well as the use of police titles by private seucrity personnel
443
Q

Rand Report

A
  • Any firm hiring the services of an independant security contractor should be held liable for any negligent failure to control the contract staff
