Security Expert Witness On Site Security Planning Part 3
In Site Security Planning and Design Criteria, security expert witness Randall Atlas Ph.D., AIA and Anthony DiGreggario of Atlas Safety & Security Design, Inc. describe design criteria:
Threat: Tactics; weapons, explosives, tools
Assets
Levels of protection
Constraints
The result of the assessment will be a set of recommended countermeasures that may
be priced and presented to the owner in a priority order so selections may be made of
those recommendations that are prudent and cost effective. In the case of the
government standards, the assessment results in the assignment of a defined Level of
Protection (LOP) with specified countermeasures. When the LOP is defined, the
specified countermeasures are priced and again the owner may select appropriate
measures depending on a prudent level of protection and the cost effectiveness of
the measure.
