Residential Security Assessment Overview

Company Description:

Enhanced Patrol LLC is a leading provider of residential security assessments dedicated to enhancing the safety and security of homes within our community. We understand that peace of mind is paramount, and we strive to provide comprehensive and personalized security solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs and property. Our team comprises highly trained security professionals with extensive experience in risk assessment, opportunity analysis, and security system design, incorporating principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). Our assessments are designed to help the homeowner create time and distance between potential intruders and to make the home less appealing to criminal actors. We are committed to delivering actionable recommendations and empowering homeowners to take control of their security.

Our Approach:

Our residential security assessment follows a structured and thorough process designed to identify potential security opportunities and provide practical solutions guided by CPTED principles.

The assessment consists of three key phases:

Phase 1. Initial Consultation & Property Survey:

1# We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your specific concerns, security goals, and lifestyle.

2# A thorough on-site survey of your property is conducted, including an evaluation of:

– Perimeter security (fencing, landscaping, lighting) – CPTED: Natural Surveillance, Access Control

– Exterior security opportunities (windows, doors, garages) – CPTED: Target Hardening

– Interior security (alarm systems, safes, access control)

– Environmental factors (visibility, proximity to other properties) – CPTED: Natural Surveillance

– Neighbourhood crime statistics and trends

– Application of CPTED principles, including:

Natural Surveillance:

Assessing visibility from the street and neighbouring properties, recommending landscaping or lighting changes to improve visibility, and creating time and distance for observation.

Access Control:

Evaluating points of entry and suggesting measures to restrict access to the property, such as fences, gates, and appropriate landscaping, increasing the effort required for intrusion.

Target Hardening:

Identifying potential weaknesses in doors, windows, and other areas, and recommending reinforcement or upgrades, making the home a less appealing target.

Territoriality:

Encouraging a sense of ownership and responsibility for the property through clear boundary markers and well-maintained landscaping, deterring potential intruders.

Maintenance:

Highlighting the importance of maintaining the property to prevent it from appearing neglected, which can attract criminal activity.

Phase 2. Opportunity Analysis & Risk Assessment:

1# Based on the property survey and initial consultation, we conduct a comprehensive opportunity analysis to identify potential areas for security improvement in your current setup, considering CPTED principles.

2# We assess the risks associated with these opportunities, considering factors such as the likelihood of an incident and the potential impact.

3# This analysis forms the basis for our personalized security recommendations.

Phase 3. Customized Security Recommendations & Report:

1# We develop a tailored security plan outlining specific recommendations to mitigate identified risks, prioritized from highest criticality to lowest. These recommendations are designed to create time and distance between potential intruders and make the home less appealing to criminal actors.

2# These recommendations, grounded in CPTED principles, may include:

– Upgrading existing security systems or implementing new technologies (e.g., smart home security, surveillance cameras, motion detectors).

– Improving physical security measures (e.g., reinforcing doors and windows, adding security lighting).

– Implementing security protocols and best practices (e.g., home security routines, neighbourhood watch participation).

– Landscaping modifications to enhance natural surveillance and access control.
