security firm

Your security firm is hired to provide recommendations for crime prevention for the renovation of three buildings that are four story 50-year-old brick apartments located in Detroit, Michigan. Each building has twenty apartments priced in the upper-middle class range. There is a large overflow parking lot adjacent to the city’s streets.

Each apartment is afforded one parking slot in a garage under the building. This apartment complex is part of a project to renovate the near downtown area and is located in an area where there is significant amount of crime about a quarter mile away. The adjacent streets have older established businesses, some empty buildings, a liquor store, a couple of bars, and a convenience store.

Future plans include a green landscaped buffer area that extends fifty yards all around the apartment complex to a new sidewalk. An exact landscape plan has not been furnished until you provide your security recommendations. However, there are several large old oak trees and mature purple and white flowered lilac shrubbery that have been preserved next to the parking lots.

Complete a preliminary security assessment and provide an appropriate security assessment tool.

In your security plan what would you recommend in terms of crime prevention and target hardening security measures for this soon to be renovated residence complex?
