Summary
The student will control the procedures of project creation, plans, incl. physical security methodologies as a tool for situational prevention of property crime. It can objectively assess the effectiveness of the use and application of technical means of security, together with physical surveillance and regime protection to protect persons and property. In the process of designing physical security, it can create ideas and variants of possible solutions, including their optimization and elaboration into an implementing security project, including project documentation.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge, understand the principles and principles of design and planning of the physical safety system, to be able to apply them in a specific environment and to correctly evaluate the environmental response to the implemented physical safety project.
