Personal Security Measures

In the security field the following two principles are widely accepted in relation to the protection of property:

1. The owner is primarily responsible for his/her own property.

2. Security measures must be commensurate with the known threat.

These principles have equal application to personal security. No one can have greater interest in protecting the life of a person than him/herself. Therefore the individual places a greater responsibility on personal protection.

The precautions required in individual cases will depend greatly on the threat, which has been assessed by taking into account such things as employment, environment, specific threat and knowledge of any potential assailants.

It is impossible however, to remain on alert 24 hours a day. Therefore the solution is to formulate reasonable security precautions that suit the credible threat. The advice contained in this section is based on common sense and can be readily adapted to meet the individual needs of the reader to form the base of his/her own personal security plan.

Personal security

You are responsible for ensuring you take sensible security precautions are made at all times. You are at greater risk of attack in the area of your home, your place of work and on routine activities when your movements can be predicted. In particular, you are most vulnerable when answering the door or preparing to drive or leave a motor vehicle.

The greatest contribution to your personal security can be made by:

· Your alertness,

· alternate routine patterns of activity, and

· Adopting sensible and practical security drills.

Security at Home

· You are at greater risk when answering your door, particularly at night. Devise a drill for checking who is at the door without exposing yourself to potential danger. Wide angled lens door viewers and door chains provide a means of checking the identity of a caller. Do not stand immediately in front of the door, especially one fitted with glass panels, when asking for proof of identity.

· Do not switch on the hall/lobby light when answering the door.

· Never open the door if you are suspicious of any caller.

· Make sure that all doors are made secure with robust locks and bolts.

· Keep all windows locked unless you are occupying a room and then only open enough for ventilation.

· Close curtains before turning on lights at night.

· After dark keep all curtains or blinds closed.

· Before opening curtains and blinds, switch off lights.

· Check all doors and windows before retiring for the night and when you leave the house unoccupied for any period. Sufficient lighting during darkness outside as well as inside a residence can provide an element of deterrence to potential intruders.

· At least one bright \'courtesy\' light or movement sensor light should be kept on in the areas at the front and rear of your residence during the hours of darkness.

· If you go out at night, prepare for your return by turning on your garage light and any approach and/or driveway lights installed. Some internal lights should also be left on.

Telephone

· Site your telephone in such a position that you cannot be observed through the windows or doors, particularly the front door. Also consider fitting a bedside extension.

· Keep a list of emergency numbers next to each telephone extension.

· Other members of the household should be advised to exercise discretion when answering the telephone.

· No information should be given regarding your whereabouts or future intentions.

· The caller\'s name and number should be taken so that you personally can return the call.

· Arrange for a silent number.

Anonymous calls - telephone threats

Anonymous calls and telephone threats are usually intended to lower your morale. An accurate analysis of the calls received can provide valuable information for determining appropriate action, recommendations and subsequent investigation strategies. The natural reaction when answering a telephone and hearing a hostile voice is one of either anger and/or panic and probably to cut off the conversation. The caller, however, may provide clues as to intentions or specific threats and, if possible, the following action should be taken:

· Keep the caller talking.

· Try to identify the voice by age, sex, accent, peculiarities, etc.

· Listen for background noise, which may provide valuable information, e.g., music, machinery, animals, industrial noises, railway station sounds, vehicular traffic etc.

· Record details of the call immediately to assist subsequent inquiries.

· On termination of the telephone call, contact the police without delay.

Physical Security

Physical security, known as defense in depth provides a succession of barriers, which require access between the public and valuable asset. The valuable asset could be a residential house or some other facility.

In brief this should include, but is not limited to:

· Fences (preventing access)

· Gates (Locked) prevent access to the rear of the premises.

· Security lights front and rear.

· Electronic alarm system with stay mode and perimeter detection system on the windows.

· Steel security bars (decorative type) can be internal or external depending on the frames.

· Smoke detectors connected to the alarm with battery backup.

· Security doors (solid core).

· External security door (triple lock system).

Physical security or target hardening effectively gives you more time to contact police and prevent entry to the premises by an attacker.

Key Security

· Keep a strict check on your house keys.

· Do not allow duplicates to be made without your permission.

· If a key is lost in suspicious circumstances or it can be readily connected to your address it is better to have a new lock fitted.

· Never leave a key under the mat, in the mailbox or other obvious hiding places. It is better to give an adult member of the household their own key.

Visitors

· All visitors should be positively identified before admission.

· Friends and relatives should be asked to inform you of intended visits whenever possible.

· Arrange for fixed times for workmen to call. Check their identity and never leave them in the residence on their own.

· Additional care should be exercised when holding functions or parties at your residence, e.g., home deliveries of food and drink. Avoid \'open house\' type parties.

· Very late callers, whether known or unknown, should be treated with extreme caution.

Home deliveries

· Do not accept presents from unknown persons.

· Discourage the leaving of parcels or bags on windowsills or at the door.

· Check deliveries carefully before accepting them.

· Stop regular deliveries of milk, newspapers etc. when you are going away.

· Lock your mailbox.

Garden and Garage

· Keep your garbage bin, if possible, in an enclosed yard or shed under lock and key.

· Bushes and trees blocking the view, especially close to the house, should be removed or trimmed sufficiently to make it more difficult for an intruder to operate or conceal an improvised explosive device (IED).

· Keep the area surrounding your house neat and tidy so that anything suspicious is immediately obvious.

· Keep your garage and shed locked at all times. Check doors and windows first thing in the morning for signs of forced entry. If you find such signs inform the police immediately. Do not in any event use your car if this is the case.

Children

· Accompany them to and from the bus stop as necessary.

· Do not allow pre-school children to wander from the house or to play in areas where they cannot be supervised. Caution them never to become friendly with strangers or to accept gifts.

· Discourage children from answering the door, especially at night.

· Do not allow younger members of the family to collect or open your mail.

· Young children should be discouraged from answering the telephone as they could unintentionally give out information, which could be detrimental to you.

· Teenagers should be cautioned to ensure the bona fides of those they invite home.

· Employ only mature, responsible baby-sitters in whom you have complete trust. Ensure that they are well acquainted with door opening and telephone answering procedures and make certain that they know where you can be contacted, and where the emergency numbers are located.

· Encourage your children to report suspicious incidents to you.

Suspicious incidents

· Report any suspicious vehicles parked or persons loitering in the vicinity of your home. Before doing so, get as much information as possible, such as:

· Description of the individual and what he/she is doing.

· Description of the car including make, colour and registration number.

Security Away From Home

Travelling in general

· You are at greater risk on routine journeys, particularly in the general vicinity of your house and when going to and from work.

· Vary your method of travel, your routes and timings whenever possible.

· Vary your style of clothing.

· Let someone know where you are going and the approximate time of return.

· Try to avoid establishing patterns of movement. Do not go to the same restaurant, club, bar, cafe, etc. regularly at the same time, same day, and sit at the same table.

· Do not make reservations unless it is essential.

· Always travel in company if possible.

· Check the driveway and road before you leave your home.

· If you think you are being followed try to obtain a description of the persons and the car including the registration number. Inform the police as soon as possible.

Walking

· If you are walking at night, walk on brightly lit, well-used streets as much as possible. If you must take a poorly lit route, walk near the kerb or well away from bushes, dark doorways and other places of concealment. In the event of a specific threat the best advice is not to go out on foot after dark.

· Be alert to your surroundings. Take detours away from loiterers and street gangs.

· Avoid \'short cuts\' through vacant lots, alleyways or deserted parks.

Vehicle

When Driving

· Ensure that windows are fully closed when a car is parked and opened only enough for ventilation when you are driving.

· Do not leave valuables in your vehicle when left unattended to provide opportunity for theft.

· Do not provide opportunities for other crimes by leaving household keys in unattended vehicles.

· Look forward along the rows of parked vehicles in the street for anything of a suspicious nature. Also use your rear view mirrors for following vehicles.

· Avoid narrow and lonely streets - try to keep to well used, well lit, main routes.

· Drive your car at a steady pace and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

· Do not allow yourself to be \'boxed in\' in traffic. Always leave enough room for maneuvering.

· If something untoward appears to be taking place on the road ahead, stop and take an alternate route.

· Be cautious of ‘accident’ scenes.

· Do not give lifts or open doors or windows to unknown persons.
