It is the use of technologies, simple or sophisticated, to keep a potential “bad guy/gal” from doing something bad. We usu- ally do this with a sign, a fence, security lights or some form of technology. Hopefully that will be enough of a deterrence. When we think it won’t do the trick, we add delay; i.e., dis- tance, fencing with barb wire, something that will slow them down enough that we can ob- serve them while they attempt to overcome whatever it is that we placed in their way. We use delay in order to give ourselves more time to observe behaviors. Observation is the detection piece, if you will. We want to observe everything and then we’ll decide what is good or bad. When good is detected we allow the person to access the door or the ATMmachine. When bad is detected we don’t dispense the money or allow them to gain entry. When the rules aren’t followed, some type of defense is required; such as, password reset or try again later. And, if there is still an issue the help desk or systems administrator or a guard shows up. AComprehensive Approach Those who say a layered ap- proach means having a compre-
hensive strategy, where every part of the security program is overlapping aren’t entirely wrong. Plans and policies, drills, exercises and training, the use of electronic tech- nologies and non-technologies, must be in place in order to bring the different layers to- gether. Not only should the guard force be trained but so should the staff; routinely but not excessive and taking a va- riety of formats and time; i.e., pop-ups on the computer, role- playing exercises, and with and without first responder. The reliance of electronic tech- nologies cannot be overstated – this reliance if it becomes burdensome will cause it to be non-effective. When security is a tax people will figure out how not to pay it. Hopefully good inhabited space design was a consideration during new construction or a recent retrofit and it augments access and circulation control. Not all breaches of security require security force intervention; a friendly reminder from a col- league or a supervisor may be enough to nip it in the bud before it becomes part of the culture. continued on page 14B

portant that just making it layered. When describing their onion, security professionals will describe one of the follow- ing. When they say “layered” they mean that the layers con- sist of the four D’s – deter, de- lay, detect and defend. Or they mean that the layers are over- lapping, for example, a CCTV is installed and then there is a procedure for the guards who are monitoring the camera to follow when something out of the norm is spotted. And still others will say, what they mean is that there are four lines of de- fense or layers to almost every physical asset (building). Let’s look at each of these ideas independently and col- lectively. The four D’s First, what is deterrence?
