The people who serve in public safety are very mindful of protecting others and providing safety and security to the people, places, and things in their communities. We are dealing with new security challenges. Social discourse, general threats, and other circumstances have us looking at our own facilities a little closer relative to protective design elements. Further, the fast changing world of security requires more diverse and specialized products than ever before. We find ourselves needing to accommodate multiple layers of protection including Climb Resistance, Force Entry Protection, Vehicle Crash Resistance, Blast Resistance, Ballistics Resistance, and the list goes on. This presentation will update you on some of the more prevalent ASTM standards affecting the perimeter security industry, provide baseline information on how to identify physical security problems, and give you some strategies in designing your facilities to be safer for those who serve within them.
