Relationship to Crime Surveys. A crime survey is a formal review or study of
conditions within a facility, activity, or area. Its purpose is threefold:
(1) for discovering crime; (2) for evaluating the opportunity for criminal acts;
and (3) for identifying conditions conductive to criminal acts. Crime surveys are
performed by U.S.
Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC) special agents.
These crime surveys serve to help the post crime prevention programs in many ways.
Crime surveys do not replace physical security inspections or physical security
surveys.
They are not routinely scheduled like physical security or crime
prevention inspections, but are requested.
Crime surveys are performed when
competent authority determines that a need has been created by factors beyond his
control.
The requester may be any CO, supervisor of USACIDC, or field office
commander.
Examples of factors beyond control may be: unexplained losses or
shortages, changes in the local political environment, or a series of unsolved
break-ins in the areas.
Crime survey reports, if available, should be reviewed
prior to the beginning of physical security inspections or surveys of the same
area.
