Abstract
THE SUCCESSFUL OFFICE COUNTER-TERRORIST SECURITY SYSTEM IS BASED UPON CORRECT ASSESSMENT, CUTTING OFF THE ESCAPE ROUTE, PREVENTION OF HOSTAGE-TAKING, AND BEING PREPARED TO USE WEAPONS. SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS TO IMPLEMENT SUCH A SYSTEM ARE DETAILED. EXPLANATIONS ARE GIVEN FOR OFFICE LAYOUT: INSTALLATION OF ELECTRONIC DOORS, LOCKS, AND FLASHING SYSTEMS; CLOSED CIRCUIT SURVEILLANCE; AND STAFF COUNTERMEASURES. PREEMPLOYMENT SCREENING, SCREENING OF ALL VISITORS AND DELIVERY PEOPLE, AND THE USE OF WEAPONS BY SECURITY PERSONNEL AND EXECUTIVES ARE ALSO DISCUSSED. A DIAGRAM OF AN OFFICE DESIGNED FOR TOTAL SECURITY PROTECTION IS INCLUDED. (TAG)
