This also provides an opportunity to visually identify and screen visitors in the event of an attempted criminal ruse entry such as by a fake Delivery Driver, UPS/ FEDEX, Utility Worker, etc. Criminal incidents of theft, burglaries and robberies can have very deadly consequences, so strategically planning and designing defenses ahead of time to prevent or deter these incidents is vital for safety and security.
Initials _____
b. Any existing or future fencing anywhere on the site should be CPTED oriented such as metal rail bars with ‘see-through’ spacing to maintain critical Natural Surveillance. Note that hollow aluminum is weak and is easily bent/ pried to facilitate climbing through so steel is much preferred.
Initials _____
c. Fences (if any) should not have easily accessible horizontal bars that could be used to facilitate climbing over and breaching any security fencing. Use narrow spacing between vertical bars to prevent providing footholds.
Initials _____
d. Do not block the Natural Surveillance benefit of CPTED ‘see-through’ fencing (if any) by placing high obstructive objects, landscaping hedges or groundcover placed closely on either side of it.

9. Graffiti Maintenance - CPTED
a. Commercial, Industrial and Multi-Family Residential exterior wall surfaces along the building perimeter must be treated with a graffiti resistant resin up to 8 feet to prevent vandalism. Graffiti vandalism is chronic these days and therefore becomes very expensive to repeatedly address. It leads to unsightly blight conditions, and often also costly Code Enforcement violations, therefore incorporating it into the project beforehand is financially strategic and vital to project sustainability.
Initials _____
10. Electronic Surveillance - Security Strengthening
*** ATTENTION *** PROPOSED CAMERA AND MONITORING LOCATIONS WILL BE COORDINATED WITH A SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL CONSULTANT AND THE BROWARD SHERIFF’S OFFICE CPTED REVIEWER *** PRIOR *** TO PERMITTING.

12. Miscellaneous: CPTED & Security Strengthening - Restaurants
There is a good reason for including monitors regarding comprehensive safety and security and I will do my best to explain why.
Employee theft, it’s a huge problem in the restaurant business. Not all staff or the public should have viewable access to ALL camera feeds displayed on the recommended viewable monitor. It’s exactly for this reason, rampant employee theft, that it’s essential to implement tried and tested industry security methods to ensure the restaurant, its staff, customers, and neighbors don’t become victims of crimes such as property theft or worse, violent assaults or robberies.
Security monitors have proven to be a common security equipment deterrent application to crime demonstrated through their widespread use in many of the largest businesses including restaurants throughout the world. The use of viewable monitors qualifies as an effective CPTED strategy, therefore here are a few points to mention for careful consideration:
1. Video surveillance shown as “IN USE” in and of itself can be a powerful crime deterrent
2. Viewable monitors placed in a central area show outward evidence to all that video surveillance is in use facility wide BROADCASTING clearly that crimes will be discovered, and recordings used as evidence for arrest and full prosecution
3. Viewable monitors make it plainly obvious that the area, its valuable, its employees, its customers (potential victims or sometimes would be thieves - as in running out on their bills which is becoming more common), are all being watched over for the safety and security of everyone and their valuables
4. A viewable monitor should display what’s going on at the rear door area as businesses with multiple doors should ensure that not all these doors are always accessible to any and everyone at any time. Back and side doors to and from the kitchen, storage room, and offices should normally remain locked and secured. Leaving a back door open or unlocked is inviting trouble. Except for an employee needing to go in and out for a specific task, it creates a readily available obvious opportunity for employees to discreetly slip out of the building with money or restaurant property. Furthermore, it also makes it all too easy for a thief or potentially dangerous subject to quickly enter the restaurant and steal or assault those inside. Effectively restricting access through the side rear door will keep staff and everyone safer and deter theft. Staff must be trained and reminded to keep the door closed and locked and not to leave it propped open inadvertently inviting thieves inside. Of course, it goes without saying, a quick release exit handle must be included on the inside of the door and a buzzer should be activated on the door whenever it’s opened.
5. Camera feeds that are to remain off limits to staff for internal security reasons, etc., do not have to be displayed on the viewable monitor but can be viewed on any other secure monitor or device from anywhere, and that should suffice to satisfy the concerns of management regarding viewable monitors. Those secure recordings can be viewed regularly or as necessary.
