Adequate Control of People is Essential for Thorough Security
Although any breach of security could be committed by an employee or non-employee,
during or after the work day or during the day or night, such breaches can be
prevented if there is adequate and conscientious application of security

techniques.
There is a market of stolen goods and they do not have to
be precious metals or consumer goods in order to be readily
disposable. However, they usually must be readily movable and of
high unit value as a burglar will attempt to balance his profit
against his chances of being caught.
Theft by employees or visitors can be reduced by eliminating: TEMPTATION!

Control of Security Loss

• Threat – an implied or expressed intention (potential or real) to injure or kill personnel or to
damage or destroy non-human resources.
• Terrorism – the use of overpowering fear, instilled by violent acts, the magnitude of which
exceed the normally expected limits of criminal activity, to achieve a desired but illegal objective.

Types of Vandalism
Vandalism is a malicious destruction of private or public property.
• Acquisitive – damage to acquire money or property (breaking open coin boxes or stealing
material from construction sites.)

• Tactical - damage as a conscious act to advance some other end (jamming a machine in a
factory to gain a rest period).
