INTRODUCTION
One or more persons unknown gained access to the post medical storage
area.
An undetermined amount of controlled drugs were removed.
First
investigation showed that electrical power had been interrupted for about two
hours.
It happened during a thunderstorm the previous night.
As physical
security officer, you are not simply concerned with capturing the thief, but
the flaw in your security plan must be examined.
Were available detection
aids in use? These might have included perimeter barriers, protective
lighting, and/or intrusion detection systems.
Was there an alternate power
source available for use during emergencies? Security aids are not complete
solutions for security. However, when used as a part of a security system,
they enhance the total physical security posture.
Perimeter barriers and
protective lighting are designed to delay penetration.
