Introduction to Industrial Security Concepts

As future law enforcers and security personnel responsible for safeguarding the community’s installations and activities, criminology students must have a solid understanding of industrial security, security-related laws, and regulations. This instructional material aims to introduce the basic concepts of industrial security and educate students on its significance. The instructional material emphasizes the critical role played by human barriers in securing an installation or company. While technological barriers are essential, the human factor is the most critical in ensuring an efficient security system. This scholarly work highlights the contribution of the human senses and thought processes to the security system, without which even the most advanced protection methods and techniques would be futile.
