Your security firm is hired to provide recommendations for crime prevention for a renovated three four-story 50-year-old brick apartment buildings located in Detroit, Michigan. Each building has twenty apartments priced in the upper-middle class range. There is a large overflow parking lot exposed to the city streets.

Each apartment is afforded one parking slot in a garage under the building. This apartment complex is part of a project to renovate the near downtown area and it is placed in an area where there is a significant amount of crime about a quarter mile away. The adjacent streets have old businesses, some empty buildings, a liquor store, a couple of bars and a popular corner café.

There will be a green landscaped buffer area that extends fifty yards all around the apartment complex to a new sidewalk; an exact landscape plan has not been furnished until you provide your ideas. However, there are several large old oak trees and mature purple and white flowered lilac shrubbery that has been preserved on the campus kept from a portion of an old inner-city park.

Complete a preliminary security assessment and provide an appropriate security assessment tool.

Explain the security measures recommended in terms of critical assets while considering likely threats, vulnerabilities, risks and crime theories. Also, consider what must be accomplished prior to any recommendations being carried out.

Lastly, note your opinions, and what options may be available for the client to consider.
