Effective ingress/egress control can prevent countless intentional as well as unintentional accidents, injuries, property loss and property damage in addition to violations of the law as it pertains to people and property. In general, most Security Officers are charged with deterring unwanted activities or incidents against the people who work or visit client owned or controlled facilities as well as the property contained within.
As a rule-of-thumb, a Security Officer’s fundamental responsibility is to detect, deter, observe, and report. Security Officers, by their mere presence coupled with their overall demeanor and policy compliance can effectively deter criminal activities and/or violations of company policy. Effective access control provides increased protection of personnel and property within the facility as well as increased protection of the facility itself. A fundamental yet significant responsibility of most Security Officers/Departments is to control access (ingress and egress) to a facility, building, or area. The key purpose of controlling access is to ensure that only authorized personnel, vehicles, and materials are allowed to enter, move within, and leave the facility.
