1. What are the two main sources of data used by Security Managers, and how is the data used?
ReplyDeleteThe two main sources of data used by Security Managers are internal security incident reports and crime statistics from local law enforcement agencies.
Internal security incident reports are used to determine security weaknesses and problem areas, as well as to select crime countermeasures, calibrate countermeasure effectiveness, and consider future budget needs.
Crime statistics are used in determining security risks.
Another source of data for security managers could be security newsletters or word of mouth from other security managers in a similar field, in order to gain knowledge of what threats are faced at what frequency in similar companies.
DeleteCan crime statistics also be used to mitigate security risks as well?
Delete4. Discuss the advantages of having new company managerial personnel come through an orientation session in the Security Department. What are some subjects that might be discussed in this session?
ReplyDeleteA. New managerial staff should be put through a security orientation for a few reasons. Firstly, they should be aware of broad security procedures in case their assistance is needed in worst case scenarios. For instance, at work, if an Assist the Officer tone is dropped, all supervisors and above are asked to respond to the scene. In situations that go seriously south, such as a tornado or other Mass Casualty Incident, management should have a basic knowledge of emergency management so that they can be of help. A basic security briefing can also break from the monotony of other dull management training. A security orientation may also help build relationships between security personnel and other management personnel. These relationships are important for company unity.
I agree with Mr. Pooker on this you have produced some great points here. I like that you included worst case scenarios. I was thinking maybe one would include if those that are in charge of the orientation get sick or worse then if there is already someone closely familiar with how an orientation works then business keeps rolling.
DeleteMr. Justin, I think you have hit some great points here. It is always important for management to have at least a fundamental understanding of all areas they may be involved with. If I remember correctly, Dr. Matthews mentioned this towards the beginning of the semester. Additionally, as you pointed out there at the end, security ought to be on good terms with all departments within the company, and the best way to do this is through contact in non-threatening, non-stressful situations.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I can appreciate the break-up of the daily routine as well. However, this must be handled long term in that the company must have a culture that accepts this break. I have seen multiple examples of people freaking out and not liking a break in their routine because it takes them away from what they see as more important, for something that they do not need to care about. And of course, this can be avoided more simply by the management making sure that security is seen as an interesting, important, and potentially fun, learning experience.
In your own words, explain temporal analysis and its benefits.
ReplyDeleteTemporal analysis is the consideration of time periods when crimes occur. It allows the user to effectively allocate scarce security resources during peak time periods to reduce costs. If im not mistaken the benefit from this analysis is that it allows you to map out what things look like long term.
Mapping out what things look like long term is an advantage. It's shows organization and allows officers to know when crimes occurred.
DeleteThe definition of temporal, itself, involves a relation to time. It's involvement is usually within time periods, plotting down dates on charts and maps. Within relations to criminal justice, temporal analysis would be observing and comparing the times that situations may occur whether in a security setting, or to pick up on a routine of a murderer within a homicidal case.
ReplyDeletethis can help cost when it comes down to the security business.
DeleteIn your own words, explain temporal analysis and its benefits.
ReplyDeleteTemporal analysis is the thought of time periods when unlawful acts happen. It permits the client to viably dispense rare security assets amid top time periods to diminish costs.The advantage from this examination is that it permits you to guide out what things look like long haul.
In your own words, explain temporal analysis and its benefits.
ReplyDeleteTemporal analysis breaks days up through hours of the day to where you can the times that you need more security. The benefits of this keeps your business more secure, and it can save cost because you can see when you don't need as much staff
When conducting an employee security survey, what is the best method to use, and why?
ReplyDeleteA security survey identifies risks, measures mitigation, and verifies the current program. If I was an employee conducting a security survey, I will start off with a risk program. The survey directly affects the company’s bottom line through bolstering the risk program by highlighting risk, identifying areas of concern, or validating the program of mitigation in place.
