Campus Facility Assessments: How to Layer CPTED and Security Technology

By learning to layer CPTED principles and strategies, attendees will know how best to integrate security technology into their facility’s security plan.

The term “facility assessments” can encompass a wide array of meanings, from the broad to the very specific, depending on who is conducting them. Knowing what should be looked at or what will be covered in a final report can be equally as varied.

While the physical structure plays an important role in building security, understanding the role of security technology is equally as important. These technologies can often be overlooked because they are either assumed to be part of the security system or are misunderstood due to the nature of how quickly technology advances and changes.

By learning to layer Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and strategies, attendees will know how best to integrate security technology into a facility’s overall security plan. An all-inclusive approach to facility assessments makes it possible to evaluate the facility and security system as a single entity.

Attendees will learn:

• The differences between multiple types of assessment options and what to expect
• How assessors’ backgrounds and credentialing impact their processes and recommendations
• How to incorporate security technology with CPTED principles and strategies
