    Physical security systems aim to deter, delay, and detect intruders through barriers and monitoring. The key goals are to deter potential intruders through signs and barriers, distinguish authorized people through access control, and delay or prevent intrusion attempts using walls, locks, and safes. Detection methods include CCTV, alarms, and intrusion monitoring to trigger an appropriate response from security guards. Barriers provide different lines of defense, from perimeter fences to building exteriors to interior access controls. The purpose of barriers is to deny access and create psychological deterrence while facilitating intruder apprehension and traffic control.

    ecurity 

    - the predictable state or condition which is free from harm, injury, destruction,
    intimidation or fear. Freedom from fear or danger or defense against crime.

    Physical Security System - a barrier or system of barriers placed between the potential
    intruder and the matter to be protected. Protective device against hazards, threats,
    vulnerability and risks.

    Purpose/Goals of Physical security

    1. deter potential intruders - ex. warning signs, perimeter markings


    2. distinguish authorized from unauthorized people - ex. using pass card
    3. delay or prevent intrusion attempt - ex. wall, door lock, safe
    4. detect intrusion and monitor/record intruders - e. CCTV, intrusion alarm
    5. trigger appropriate incident responses - ex. security guards

    How to deter potential intruders

    1. install warning signs -


    2. build fences
    3. put vehicle barriers
    4. install vehicle height restriction
    5. implement restricted access point
    6. install sight lighting and trenches

    How to distinguish authorized from unauthorized people - access control at the

    1. gates
    2. doors
    3. locks

    How to detect intrusion

    1. install alarms
    2. install intrusion detection monitor
    3. install video monitoring system - ex. cctv

    Vigiles (in Rome) - origin of the watchmen although their principal duty was as a fire
    brigade.

    Notable security guards:

    1.  Frank Wills - detected the Watergate burglars ultimately leading to the resignation
    of US president Richard Nixon.
    Target hardening - the reduction in criminal opportunity, generally through the use of
    physical barriers, architectural design and enhanced security measures of a particular
    location.
    Defensible Space - the range of mechanisms that combine to bring an environment under
    the control of its residents.

    Demography - the study of the characteristics of population groups.

    Principles of Physical Security


    1. An intruder must be able to acquire access to the
        property in order to benefit.
    2. The type of access necessary will depend upon a
        number of variable factors and therefore may be
        achieved in a number of ways.
    3. There is no impenetrable barrier.
    4. Security is built upon a system of defense in depth
        resulting to accumulated delay time which may lead
        to the apprehension of the intruder.
    5. Each installation is different from the others.

    2 Kinds of Barriers
    1. Natural
    2. Artificial

    5 Types of Barriers
    1. Human
    2. Animal
    3. Natural
    4. Energy/Electrical/Electronic
    5. Structural

    3 Line of Defense
    1. Perimeter Barrier - 1st line of defense.
    2. Building Exterior - 2nd line of defense.
    3. Interior Controls - 3rd line of defense.

    Perimeter Barrier - main purpose is to deny or impede access or exit of unauthorized


    persons.
    Other Purposes
    1. It defines the boundary of the property to be
        secured.
    2. It creates a physical and psychological deterrent
        to unauthorized entry.
    3. It delays intrusion, thus facilitating apprehension
        of intruders.
    4. It assists in a more efficient and economical
        employment of guards.
    5. It facilitates and improves the control of pedestrian
        and vehicular traffic.

    6. Restricted Areas (storage areas/utilities)
    7. Access Control
    8. Key Control
    9. Emergency Plans
    10.Guards

    Natural barriers or features - such as cliffs,ravines,and rivers which delay or make more
    difficult to entry of intruders.

    Barriers - any line of boundary and separation,natural or artificial,places,or serving as


    limitation or obstruction.Anything that bars,keep out,obstruct progress,or prevents
    encroachment or intrusion.

    Structural barriers - features constructed by man regardless of their original intent that
    tends to delay the intruder.ex.walls,ceilings,locks,safe,windows.

    Human barriers - guards,charges of quarters,office personnel,shop workers etc. who stand


    between the intruder and the matter to be protected.

    Animal barriers - usually guard dog.ex. trained German shepherds used as


    guards,goose,and turkeys can also be included.

    Energy barriers - usually electrical or electronics devices used to provide assistance to


    guard personnel.ex. protective lightnings,anti intrusion devices.

    Full view fence - it is designed primarily to prevent physical access between two
    areas.Constructed in such a way that visual access is permitted through the fence.

    Physical Security Features:


    1.Natural barriers - natural terrains features must be
       considered from the stand point of their values to
       intruder as cover and concealment.Normally the
       first type considered very often we have to accept
       and work around them.
    2.Fences
       a. solid fence - one is constructed in such a way that
           visual access through the fenced structure is
            denied.
       b. full view fence - constructed in such a way that
           usual access is permitted through the fence.

    Advantages of a full view fence


    1. removing patrols and stationary guards are able to
        keep area surrounding of the installation under
        observation.
    2. it does not create shadows which would provide
        cover and concealment for the intruder.

    Disadvantages of a full view fence


    1. It allows visual access to the installation,its
        personnel,its guard and its activities.
    2. It allows the intruders to become familiar with the
        movements and the time schedule of the guard
        patrols thereafter allowing him to pick the time for
        attempting penetration which would most
        advantageous to the intruder.

    Advantages of solid fence


    1. Denies visual access of the installation of the
        intruder.
    2. Denies the opportunity for the intruder to become
        familiar with the personnel,activities and the time
        schedule of the movements of guards in the
        installations.

    Disadvantages of solid fence


    1. It prevents the guards from observing the area
        around the installation.
    2. It creates shadows which may be used by the
        intruder for cover and concealment.

    Minimum acceptable requirements for fence used security barriers


    1. Height - 8 feet at a minimum.
    2. Slack at the bottom - not to exceed 2 inches.If the
        fences are not tight then it should extend even
        closer to the ground.
    3. Wooden fence post - minimum horizontal dimension
        of 4X4 inches.
    4.Steel fence post - the round type should at least be
        2 inches at the smallest diameter.
    5. Fence post - should be set in concrete or in firm
        soil using commercial drive anchors to a depth of 3
        feet and the maximum distance post is 10 feet.
    6. Fence top (Top Guard) - there should be something
        on the top of the fence to deter persons attempting
        to go over fence.ex.use of barb wire overhang.The
        arms holding the barbwire should be extended at 45
        degree angle in the direction of the expected
        approach.
    7. Fence area - it should be declared trees and
        vegetation  and debris of other materials which
        would offer concealment of the intruder or would
        aid him in scaling the fence.
    8. Fence Gates - gates should be limited to the no.
        necessary for efficient and sage operation of the
        installation.
    9. Fence Opening - all opening in the fence in excess
        of 96 inches must be locked barbed or screen in
        such a way that they may be interlocked  and
        opened from the inside  and only by selected
        personnel.
    10.Multiple fence - is used should at least be 10 feet
        apart  and the overhang on the top of the inner
        fence should point inward.

    4 Basic functions that must be accomplished by the guard system


    1. Detect intruders
    2. Sound alarms
    3. Apprehend unauthorized personnel
    4. Identify authorized personnel
