Overview
The first step to assessing risk factors is to consider the structure, location, and purpose of the site. Structural risk factors and location considerations vary based on the classification of the facilities. For example, security implementation and considerations look very different on cruise ships, airplanes, and high-rise buildings. Criminal justice and security professionals of today must be able to identify and clearly articulate various security approaches effortlessly.
Prompt
This is a research activity. You will be producing a journal that analyzes the differences in how to approach security on a ship or a commercial airplane. Before you begin writing, review the following resources:
- Boeing 747 Blueprint (commercial airplane schematic)
- Fact Sheet: Aviation Enhanced Security Measures for all Commercial Flights to the United States
- Container Ship (includes container ship schematics)
- Shipbuilding Picture Dictionary
Then continue to research your chosen vessel. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Overview: Provide an overview of the type of vessel being risk-assessed.
Operational (policies and procedures): Identify security best practices for chosen vessel.
Physical Site (geographic location, crime threats, entry and exit concerns): Identify critical physical vulnerabilities.
- What are the biggest threats to security?
- What are the greatest vulnerabilities?
- In what ways does the public access this facility?
- What is the check-in process?
- Who has access to secure areas?
- Who has or should have unescorted access?
- Do we need better access controls to safely maintain records?
- Are employees properly vetted and screened during the employee on-boarding?
Conclusion: Summarize the vulnerabilities that need to be addressed.
