THE PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS DISTINGUISH BETWEEN MANAGERIAL POLICY, PROCEDURES AND REGULATIONS, AND PHYSICAL SECURITY MEASURES, THOUGH THE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT REPORTED. A 'THEFT SUSCEPTIBILITY INDEX' AND 'SECURITY SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS INDEX' ARE SUGGESTED AS A MEANS OF TRANSFERRING EVALUATION METHODOLOGY APPLIED IN ONE AREA TO OTHER CARGO TRANSFER DEPOTS.
