Most Crime Prevention officers and security directors agree that a survey is most effective after what occurrences?
All of the above. ( A crisis within the cooperation, breaking and entering and a major larceny)
Within a corporation, with whom does the responsibility for contingency planning rest?
*Top Management
Which of the following best describes risk?
The likelihood of loss resulting from a threat, security incident or event. Risk is the potential for a loss or damage to an asset. It takes into account the value of an asset, the threats or hazards that potentially impact the asset, and the vulnerability of the asset to the threat or hazard.
Natural access control, natural surveillance, natural territorial reinforcement, management and maintenance are all components of
CPTED
In designing a new physical protection system it is necessary to integrate three basic elements, what are they?
People, Procedures and Equipment
What are the primary functions of a physical protection system?
Deter, Detect, Delay, Respond,Recover
What type of procurement method is recommended for small projects and for upgrading existing systems?
Request for Proposal
To what does the following definition refer? A collection of components or elements designed to achieve an objective according to a plan
A System
For delay to be effective what must be accomplished?
Response
A nuisance alarm is any alarm that
is not caused by an intrusion.
Delay before detection …………………….
is primarily a deterrent
Detection is the discovery of an adversary action and includes sensing of covert or overt actions. To discover such action, the following events need to occur:
1
A sensor reacts to a stimulus and initiates an alarm.
2
The information from the sensor is reported and displayed.
3
A person assesses the information, judges the alarm to be valid or invalid and initiates a response.
These events show that detection is not an instantaneous event. Included in the detection function of physical protection is entry control, which allows entry to authorised personnel and detects the attempted entry of unauthorised personnel and material (Garcia, 2001, p. 55). With an intruder alarm system, delay before detection is primarily a deterrent. Once detection has initiated the alarm system, the appropriate response may be to send a guard or advise the clientele. A monitored alarm system can report and display an intrusion within a very short time frame and the response time to intruder alarm systems is dependent on the proximity of the response personnel. The study concentrated on the element of detection being the primary security function of intruder alarm systems.
Floodlights “flood” an area with a beam of lighting, creating considerable glare, which type of light or lens has a wide flat beam that is directed outward to protect a perimeter, glaring in the face of those approaching?
floodlight
A foot candle is
a measure of light on a surface 1 square foot in an area on which one unit of light (lumen) is distributed.
4 basic types of lighing are in general security use, they are floodlights, search lights, fresnel lens and what else?
Mercury Vapor lighting
you have been asked to specify a biometric system suttable for a site processing precious metals and which has a small number of staff. IF it were a choice between system with a low type 1 error rate or a low type II error rrate, which would you select?
A system which is calibrated to focus on minimising type II errors.
Type I error is equivalent to a False positive. Type II error is equivalent to a False negative. Type I error refers to non-acceptance of hypothesis which ought to be accepted. Type II error is the acceptance of hypothesis which ought to be rejected. Lets take an example of Biometrics. When someone scans their fingers for a biometric scan, a Type I error is the possibility of rejection even with an authorized match. A Type II error is the possibility of acceptance even with a wrong/unauthorized match.
