Manage guard force competence, supervision and performance on building and complex security planning.
Planning Security for Administrative Buildings and Residential Complexes
Build a working method for building and complex security planning that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Security arrangements around building and complex security planning are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Insider risk in security planning is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. Participants leave with a method for this area of corporate security practice, not a set of opinions about it. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for building and complex security planning. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the corporate security practice capability outperform teams that only plan it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in security planning rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on building and complex security planning and revise it on evidence. The difficulty is not agreeing that security planning matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within corporate security practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
