As experts in the application of CPTED principles, Perpetuity Security Consulting Inc. develops a comprehensive plan of action that may include such strategies as the use of security cameras to monitor problem areas, personnel and organizational measures, natural access control, mechanical measures, target hardening, natural surveillance and even natural territorial reinforcement.
CPTED is a crime prevention theory focusing on tactical design and the effective use of the built environment. CPTED is not a stand-alone discipline. However, it has the capacity to enhance the effectiveness of the more traditional security practices. CPTED stratagems are able expand the benefits derived from security systems by permitting the business to do more with less. CPTED is a preventative, pro-active model, and not a reactive one. Used properly it is able to reduce/remove the opportunity for crime to occur in an environment and promote positive interaction with the space by legitimate users.
CPTED principals are especially important at defining the property line, wayfinding, exterior lighting, controlling vehicular and pedestrian traffic and managing access. CPTED will significantly improve the effectiveness of access control systems, video surveillance systems and security officers operations.
Finally, by making CPTED an essential part of our offerings, PSCI has a greater ability to make a significant contribution in the planning and design phase of new construction or remolding of existing structures. If cost efficiency and security effectiveness is a goal, CPTED is essential, especially for hotels, schools, parking facilities and all government and healthcare facilities.
