***PLEASE INCORPORATE THE SECURITY STRENGTHENING STRATEGIES STATED BELOW ONTO YOUR EXISTING CPTED DIAGRAM & NARRATIVE **PRIOR** TO SUBMITTING FOR PERMIT***
A. Maintenance & Management Security Strengthening
1.) Costly equipment such as ground floor exterior air conditioning units (if any) must be firmly secured in place to deter theft. Options to consider are Metal Strap Tie Downs, Secured Enclosures &/or Sensor Equipment, etc. Serial numbers & photos of such equipment must be stored & readily available for possible criminal or property damage reports.
2.) The number address signage must be unobstructed by landscaping or external features, provide good color contrast, be visible from the roadway & preferably be reflective for instant recognition by law enforcement & EMS when responding to emergency calls for service.
