Security proposal for college - Coursework Example

We have also demonstrated our capability to fulfill these needs. We look forward to an opportunity to discuss this proposal and answer any questions that may arise. Thank you in advance. Sierra Joint Community College Security Needs Assessment After an appraisal of the current state of your security system, Gibraltar Security Firm has identified the following as the most pressing areas that need to be addressed: 1. There is a need for an emergency security management system in the college. As of now, there is lack of properly demarcated assembly points, emergency communication systems and emergency preparedness personnel. 2. Streamlining of responsibilities in inventory is necessary in several of your departments.

There is lack of traceability in the laboratory and the general stores department due to overlap of duties and lack of clear restrictions as to who has access to which aspects of the department. This creates a possibility of pilferage that may be untraceable. 3. The distribution of security lights within the college needs to be addressed. Whereas some sections of the college are well lit including the administration blocks and laboratories and lecture halls, other critical areas such as the student hostels, parking lot, the perimeter fence and infrequently used roads bear poor lighting. 4. The distribution of the existing security personnel is wanting. . Currently, the security cameras in the college serve only the administration blocks and the finance department which leaves room for security breach in several other critical areas especially while appreciating the fact that the college is considerably sizeable and filled with infrastructure and facilities. 6. The library is in need of a modernized security system.

Currently, security personnel bear the responsibility of ensuring that only borrowed material gets out of the library. Through a complete overhaul and implementing barcodes on books and detectors at the library entrance, library resources will be secured adequately. 7. There is need for an intrusion detection system serving the most critical areas of the college. Whereas the perimeter and internal fences are in a good state, there is always a possibility that they may be breached. Hence, areas such as the administration block, finance, laboratories and stores departments are in need of intrusion detection devices.

Out of this analysis, the threat probability ranking for your college is 2 (1: Frequent, 2: Probable, 3: Occasional, 4: Remote, 5: Improbable). Thus, there is a clear and urgent need to address these issues and implement a proper security system at Sierra Joint Community College Security. Proposed Action Plan The goal of the proposed action plan is to improve the probability ranking of the college to 4. The objectives that will guide the proposed plan towards the set goal are as follows: 1. To provide a security system that assures all members of the Sierra Joint Community College Security community a sense of security. 2. To establish a system composed of security personnel integrated appropriately in the overall operation to maximize
