Security today covers different fields, business or industry; it may include the World security, Nation security and Human security. Security as topic and subject is global, national, and local in nature and scope. This is because the principle of security management is universal in the application. The incredible growth of the security industry in the Philippines now a day is evident. Most companies are using guard forces, protective barriers, communication and electronic protection. However, every installation cannot escape the emerging complicated security problems like the deterioration peace and tranquility, the threat of terrorism and social condition of the community. **What is Security** - - - **Philosophy of security** **Security Motto** **B. Historical Background of Security** **C. The Concepts and Legal Basis Of Security Management** **Factors That Bring About Unsecured Conditions Or Situations** 1. **Threat** is activity that could lead to a loss. 2. **Hazard** is a condition that could lead to a loss. 3. **Risk** is potential loss/damage to an assent. 4. **Vulnerability** is a weakness that can be gained to an access to an asset. **Hazards** - **Hazards** refer to **conditions** that may cause, damage to property, injury, or loss of life. It is also defined as **"exposure"** to the chance of loss or injury. Hazards are caused either by **nature or by man himself** (comprehensive discussion on this topic will be done in a separate later lesson). - The role of security is to **prevent or stop these hazards in causing unintentional or intentional damage to property, injury of loss of life**. Various measures are designed to counter-attack natural and man-made hazards. **The Security Function Cycle** ** ** ** ** **3. Investigative Functions** -- these functions are performed with the following objectives: a. To reconstruct the circumstances of a risk occurrence to possibly recover the loss. b. To identify the person responsible and liable for the event and subsequent loss and justify sanctions against the said person c. To find way to prevent the recurrence of the loss. **Component of Security Management** 2\. **Counter measures -** are program implemented to avoid repetition of the same event. **Types of Control** ** ** **Major Activities of Security** **The area to be patrolled is basically called the Area of Responsibility (AOR)** a. **Critical Point (CP) --** is a resource whose lose or damage is detrimental to the organization. It is also a condition which can provide opportunity for risks to occur. b. **Area Control Point (ACP**) is a point in the AOR where the guard can have a maximum sensory coverage and reasonable physical control of the situation. c. **Fixed Area Control Point (FACP)** is a Set point on a particular location in the area of responsibility, from where the guard shall record his location at a particular time. d. **Transient Area Control Point (TACP**) -- is the actual location of the guard while on patrol. e. Control Area (CA) -- it is the area surrounding the TACP. Experiments conducted show that a guard can be physical effective within a radius of 50 meters without obstruction. This area is also called area of liability because it is the area where a guard can control a subject within his capability. **The Legal Basis and Concepts of Security Management** 1. **Natural Authority** Remarks on Natural Law Theory and Natural Rights Example Locke's Second Treatise on Government 1689 - Source: human reason as capable of interpreting divine will/reason (not arbitrary) - Grounding criticism of slavery! Natural Rights to liberty, equality, property Remarks on Natural Law Theory and Natural Rights - Why should one obey natural law? An interpretation of Locke Natural law grounds duty to preserve oneself and have others to commit to A\) Grounds the duty to preserve others (by reciprocity) B\) Ground my right not to be violated my natural rights (life, security, liberty) 2. **Constitutional Authority** **Article III** **Bill Of Rights** **Section 1.
