This episode Tom and Vicki talk about the maintenance concept of CPTED and why you need to keep up on it for your business! 

What is Maintenance? Maintenance is showing visitors that there is ownership to a property. Why is that important? It refers back to the broken window theory. Think about an abandoned house.. over growth, graffiti, busted windows.. no one is watching it and people can do whatever they want. Broken window theory.. broken window will entice vandals to break another.

There is an Umbrella Concept of Maintenance Applied to Physical Security and All CPTED Components:

  1. Natural Access Control
    1. Ensure all environmental strategies implemented are properly maintained to perform the intended objective – to control human and vehicular movement throughout your property and building.
  2. Natural Surveillance
    1. Ensure all environment strategies implemented are properly maintained to perform the intended objective – to enhance the ability of people within your organization to clearly see what is happening around them – called situational awareness, as well as strategically placing “eyes” on identified vulnerabilities.
      1.  
  3. Territorial Reinforcement
    1. Ensure all environment strategies implemented are properly maintained to perform the intended objective – to reinforce property lines between public and private property as well as restricted and non-restricted areas
