This document provides an overview of a course that teaches skills for anticipating, avoiding, and responding to dangerous situations. The course covers risk assessment, exterior intrusion sensors, entry control, and access delay. It also discusses self-defense strategies like de-escalation and using multiple tactics to stay safe from physical, emotional, and mental harm. Finally, it defines physical protection systems as integrating people, procedures, and equipment to protect assets from threats, and explains key components like detection, delay, and response.

2. Module Overview
This Course seeks to give everyday workers, travelers, and adventurers the building blocks to
help anticipate, avoid and respond to danger.
We’ll cover:
● Risk Assessment
● Exterior Intrusion Sensors
● Entry Control
● Access Delay

3. My Story...
While it is better to detect dangerous situations before they fully develop sometimes
we are presented with situations that require us to react quickly in self defense.

7. Self-Defense?
De-escalation of potential violence. Using multiple strategies to keep yourself safe
from physical and to some degree, emotional and mental harm.

9. Physical Protection Systems

10. Physical Protection Systems
A physical protection system (PPS)
integrates people, procedures, and
equipment for the protection of
assets or facilities against theft,
sabotage, or other malevolent
intruder attacks.

11. Physical Protection Systems
The physical protection components
(detection, delay, and response)
within a facility interact with each
other and their locations significantly
affects the effectiveness of PPS.

12. Risk Assessment
A method to identify precisely, the risks and all the
probableeffects that those risks will have on the
person(s) and/or organization being protected to
minimize that risk to an acceptable level, and the
the proper implementation of measures to deal
with the remaining elements associatedwith that
risk.

13. Entry Control
Entry control fall under the Detection
element.
Detection can include:
Exterior/In

14. Entry Control
Entry control refers to the technology
used to restrict entry or exit at a
facility.

15. Entry Control
An effective entry control system
permits only authorized persons to
enter and exit, detects and prevents
the entry of contraband materials,
provides information to the
protective force to facilitate
assessment and response.

16. Entry Control
Entry control technology falls into
one of three classes

17. Access Delay
Access delay follows detection in an
effective physical protection system.

18. Access Delay
The performance measure for access
delay elements is TIME.
Delay time for the adversary will
depend on the barrier to be breached
and the tools that are used.

19. Access Delay
Delay elements include passive
barriers, guards, and dispensable
barriers.
