A. Natural Surveillance (Landscaping)
1.) Maintain 2 to 2.5-foot maximum height for all hedges, bushes, low plants, and ground cover. Goal: Increase visibility & deter concealment.
2.) Maintain an 8- feet clear tree trunk for canopy trees and tall plants without any obstructive limbs or foliage hanging down below 8' feet that would in the present or future obstruct Natural &/ or Electronic Surveillance. (Note that young immature trees with 6 inch or less diameter trunks are excluded from this condition ONLY WHILE MATURING per code.)
Goal: Increase visibility, improve line of sight & prevent obstructions to electronic surveillance & pedestrian scale lighting.
A1. Natural Surveillance (Lighting)
1.) Lighting must comply with the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America IESNA G-1- 2022 Guide for Security Lighting for People, Property, and Critical Infrastructure.
2.) All Structures: Install vandal proof / resistant motion-sensor security alert lights over all exterior unit doors and overhangs (if any), including main, garage, storage doors, storage sheds (if any), etc. Goal: Security motion sensors are very effective in capturing an intrusion and creating the perception by the intruder of being discovered, therefore these should be utilized in strategically targeted areas after careful consideration, especially with regards to any building design feature area that has an overhang or obstructive feature that would attract loiterers, trespassers, thieves, burglars, robbers, etc., who may use these areas for concealment, sleeping, urinating, or ambush in the case of more serious crimes such as burglary, robbery, sexual battery, etc.
3.) Security lighting should usually be primarily concentrated at gateways, doorways & windows; it should not over-illuminate or create shadows.
A2. Natural Surveillance Security Strengthening
1.) For Commercial & Industrial, all solid exterior doors must have a see-through reinforced security window, or an audible/ video intercom pager system including service doors, garage, or bay doors (if any), etc.
Goal: To provide an opportunity to monitor and surveil the exterior prior to exiting to avoid being ambushed upon exiting. 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 financially costly &/ or deadly consequences, so strategically planning and designing defenses ahead of time to prevent or deter these incidents is vital for safety and security.
A3. Electronic Surveillance Security Strengthening *** ATTENTION *** PROPOSED CAMERA AND MONITORING LOCATIONS WILL BE COORDINATED WITH A SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL CONSULTANT AND THE BROWARD SHERIFFS OFFICE CPTED REVIEWER *** PRIOR *** TO PERMITTING. PLANNING AND INSTALLATION OF THE SURVEILLANCE MONITORING SYSTEM MUST INCLUDE FIELD INPUT FROM EXPERIENCED CPTED/ SECURITY STRENGTHENING LAW-ENFORCEMENT TO ENSURE OPTIMAL RESULTS.
1.) Surveillance Monitors depicting real time security camera views must be strategically located for maximum overlapping active and passive observation. Goal: Placement of monitors in strategic locations is to increases valuable surveillance and expedites reporting of suspicious or illegal activity including dangerous often critical incidents such as active killers, etc. Large monitors are recommended for optimal viewing. They should be placed strategically wherever they would receive the most viewing from personnel traffic such as at the front desk, lobbies, the manager’s office, etc.
2.) All cameras will be strategically placed so they will not be obstructed by the growth of existing or installation of future landscaping.
3.) Security cameras must fully view all parking areas, building entrances and pedestrian paths of travel along and up to the building perimeters.
B. Access Control Security Strengthening
1.) Wayfinding & Instructional Signage must be prominently displayed & posted where necessary. Examples of signage can include, but are not limited to: Main Entrance, Emergency Exit, Private Property, Restricted Access, Employees Only, No Admittance, No Trespassing, Visitor / Guest Parking, One Way Traffic, No Thru Traffic, Pedestrian Crossing, Hours of Operation, Rules & Regulations, Do Not Enter, Maximum Occupancy, Evacuation Route, etc.
2.) All exterior doors must have non-removable door hinge pins, and it is recommended to include the capacity for electronic door position switches to signal a security alarm system that a door, which should not have been opened, has been opened and breached. Occupants or the alarm company will then investigate and/ or address any emergency accordingly.
3.) For Commercial and Industrial: Install hard-wired burglar security alarms and safes at any commercial property, retail businesses and residential management offices, and/ or wherever valuables of any kind are stored such as cash, jewelry, electronic equipment such as computers, monitors, and any other costly inventory, including potentially sensitive or personal or business identification documents, electronic files or financial information etc., that are frequently targets of theft, frauds, burglaries and robberies. Alarms must be monitored and activated whenever businesses are closed, or all personnel are out of the building offices.
4.) For Commercial and Industrial: Burglary / Intrusion / Sensor alarms must be activated whenever the business is closed, or all authorized personnel are out of the business.
B1. Access Control Security Strengthening for Dumpster Enclosures / Trash Rooms
1.) To deter loitering by trespassers, illegal dumping and a concealment / ambush point for criminals, dumpster enclosures that also have a pedestrian access entry passageway in addition to swing gates must include all the following on both the swing and pedestrian gates:
2.). A robust locking mechanism such as a throw bolt with a robust shielded padlock for example rather than only a vulnerable chain and non-shielded padlock.
3.) Bottom gate clearances must be 8 above the ground. Purpose: For viewing underneath to deter loitering and trespassing inside the enclosures, and to deter/ prevent the enclosure from being used as concealment/ ambush for a more serious crime such as a violent robbery, sexual assault/ battery, etc.
4.) If there is a pedestrian passageway into the dumpster enclosure it must have the lockable gate which remains closed and locked except when in active use by authorized persons.
5.) Dumpster area must have a vandal resistant/ proof motion-sensor security light to illuminate the area when in use between sunset and sunrise.
6.) Dumpster areas must be secured with Access Control and video surveillance.
7.) Enclosed trash rooms must be equipped with either constant lighting &/or a secured motion sensor lighting system that will provide immediate illumination upon entry.
B2. Access Control Security Strengthening for Key Control & Management Offices
1.) Any keys, key fobs, key card devices &/or similar devices that are stored on site must be secured with access control such as, but not limited to: Mechanical, Electronic Control, Biometric, etc. Electronic key signals can be cloned (copied) so keys must be stored in a signal blocking locked safe.
2.) Key security office / room / key storage closet door must have an alarm and robust mechanical locking system.
3.) A surveillance camera must monitor the office key storage area.
4.) Management office door must have a security viewer (door scope / peephole) or reinforced security window.
C. Territorial Reinforcements Security Strengthening
1.) Submit a Broward Sheriff’s Office No Trespass Program Affidavit simultaneously with the application.
2.) Post sufficient Broward Sheriff’s Office No Trespass signage so that it is readily available at all entrances and all sides of the property: North, South, East, and West. Please note additional signage may be necessary depending on the size & layout of your development.
3.) Post BSO No Trespass signs prominently with bottom edge of sign at approximately a minimum of 6 to 7 feet in height from ground level for clear unobstructed viewing throughout property and from the site perimeter lines. Secure robustly using sturdy fasteners at all corners to help prevent vandalism.
C1. Security Strengthening Parking Lots / Parking Garages / Covered Parking
1.) Post towing sign and enforce tow away policy consistently concerning illegally parked or abandoned vehicles.
2.) Install convex security mirrors to increase visibility around blind corners, ramps & any points of intersection between vehicle lanes of travel & pedestrian pathways.
D. Maintenance & Management Security Strengthening
1.) Exterior wall surfaces along the building perimeter must be treated with a graffiti resistant resin up to 8 feet to prevent vandalism. Purpose: Graffiti vandalism occurs frequently and therefore becomes very expensive to repeatedly address. It leads to unsightly blight conditions & can sometimes be associated with gang activity. It can also incur costly Code Enforcement violations, therefore incorporating it into the project beforehand is financially strategic and vital to project sustainability.
2.) Ensure all publicly accessible exterior electrical power outlets have a lockable metal cover AND easily accessible secure internal cutoff switch.
3.) Ensure all publicly accessible exterior water outlet spigots have a nearby easily accessible secure locking cap.
4.) Costly equipment such as ground floor exterior air conditioning units (if any) must be clearly and permanently marked with serial numbers and images of equipment and serial numbers stored for criminal investigation.
E. Activity Support Security Strengthening
1.) If the building/ development has a Wi-Fi system, it needs to be encrypted and password protected. If Wi-Fi is offered as a complimentary service by a business, then it should be disabled when the business is closed to the public. Purpose: An open Wi-Fi system will attract non-legitimate users to loiter and use the open free Wi-Fi.
***Note*** Please issue DRC Comment Responses in the Affirmative such as Will Comply or Will Be Done. Comment Responses such as Acknowledged, Understood or Noted are ambiguous & do not clarify compliance.
