The NFPA 730, a guide for premises security, includes guidance on the Concentric Circles of Protection: deter, detect, delay and respond. From this, we can build a comprehensive and layered protection program, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
The first layer involves the perimeter, so it’s critical that a vulnerability assessment begins there.
An assessment of the perimeter should include parking lots and any outlying buildings
One example of a perimeter security technology, an Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) features optical character reading that converts a vehicle’s license plate to a data stream that will automatically be checked against various databases to immediately report an unwanted visitor. These unwanted visitors can come from blacklist databases that are available or by entering the information about a specific individual who has been banned from campus.
