SYSTEM FAILURES AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION:
Security office conducting a patrol in an industrial or manufacturing environment should note a potential safety ha"ards )leaking pipe, %ater on the floor, etc.* virtually every time a patrol is conducted. 4.
EXTERNAL PATROLS:
+$ternal patrol covers the grounds, parking areas and streets surrounding the facility building, the basic purpose of the e$ternal patrol is to protect vehicles and persons entering or leaving the grounds, to provide surveillance of persons attempting to use unauthori"ed e$its, to prevent the carrying of unauthori"ed property from the facility, and to prohibit or discourage un%anted persons from entering the facility. !hile conducting an e$terior patrol, security personnel must be a%are of the normal routine and behavior of all individual %ho enter and e$it the facility. The security officer must kno% that the behavior of an observed individual appears normal or unusual. The point to be made is that it is often difficult to distinguish bet%een the behavior of an individual preparing to commit crime and the innocent employee or visitor. The key point is that as security personnel, %e remain alert and make reasonable inuiries such as, “ay & help you-, to individuals %hose behavior appears unusual. y taking an active interesting learning %hat is routine from unusual and by investigating suspicious hunches or observations, security personnel %ill greatly increase their probability of success in providing effective loss prevention. 4
INTERNAL PATROL:
/enerally, internal patrol are conducted for the same reason as e$ternal patrols, to observe, act and report on abnormal or unusual conditions. As part of internal patrols, security personnel should include the follo%ing0 1.

ENTRANCE EXIT POINTS:
The easiest and simplest %ay to enter a facility in through an entrance or e$it. 8sually these points of ingress are controlled either by a receptionist, security officer, lock, camera or some other access control mechanism. 9o%ever, some entrance %ays are not controlled adeuately especially visitor and employee entrances. +ven %ith sophisticated electronic security devices, compromise occur. That is %hy, as part, the security officer should revie% activity at entrance and e$it points. Persons, %ho intend to steal from a facility or commit some other sort of act %hich %ould damage an organi"ation, %ill usually enter or e$it the building the easiest and uickest %ay possible. An observant security officer visible at entrance and e$it points may never apprehend a criminal but %ill not doubt prevent some losses from occurring. 7.
