Rick Widner asked:




When you are looking to secure an apartment this is different to securing a house and you will be facing a series of different challenges. Before you attempt to begin analyzing your security you may wish to consider talking with a security consultant. There are specialist consultants who deal with Apartment Security and they can perform crime demographic studies and vulnerability assessments. If you live in a secure apartment block then you may be lucky enough to have your own security guard who will monitor the public areas. This will often be assigned by the property management company who look after the general maintenance, repair and security of the apartment block. Depending on the type of security system in place it could be a live in security guard or a contract security guard, if it is the latter one then it is likely that they will do patrols between the various apartment blocks.

Just like in an urban house it is possible to get a security system installed in your apartment, the most common option is to have a security alarm installed. The apartment security alarm system can be wired up to detect access into your apartment only and will give you the added security above and beyond what is provided by the apartment maintenance if any. With an apartment being in a communal area it would not be possible to have additional elements such as access gates unless these are provided by the apartment company.

Often, especially in the modern apartment blocks the access into the building will have additional apartment security elements. This helps to protect the communal areas from unauthorized access, this is very important for the image of the area and to retain the up keep of the building. The external communal doors will be fitted with electronic card access systems. There are lots of benefits for this type of security; it gives control to allow people free and easy access to the buildings and areas that they are allowed, whilst restricting access to other areas. A good example is there maybe a gym/health club on the site which an extra monthly charge is administered; the keycard can be programmed to allow those who have paid to use the club access. This is a very good and secure way to ensure that the correct people only have the access to certain areas.

Lighting is an important area of apartment security systems, make sure if you are going away that you have lights that come on at night time and off during the day. It is quick and easy to install a system that will control this and is a huge deterrent to a potential opportunist burglar. The apartment block will have all the communal areas lit within the building and outside but you do need to make sure you take care of your own apartment yourself.

In apartment blocks as important to the security elements are the safety elements. Risk of fire and escape routes are important especially if you live on the 25th floor. If you do implement any additional Apartment Security then do keep in mind the regulations that maybe in place regarding fire access and escape routes.

I want to start a small business doing consulting work for the military. How do I go about getting security clearances for myself and my employees? I know my company needs to get a federal clearance… But what is the process for small private businesses?
Thanks!
