Residential/Commercial Security Site Surveys
Copperhead ICS offers comprehensive assessments designed to evaluate the safety and security of a property or facility. These surveys take into account the industry best practices, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), crime statistics, and the firm’s vast experience to identify vulnerabilities and recommend tailored security measures.​ The process begins with a detailed inspection of the property, including the layout, lighting, access points, perimeter, and existing security systems. The consultant applies CPTED principles, such as natural surveillance, territorial reinforcement, and access control, to design environments that deter criminal activity. Crime statistics and local trends are also reviewed to address specific risks that may be relevant to the area, such as theft, vandalism, or trespassing.​ Drawing from years of experience, Copperhead ICS provides actionable recommendations, which may include the installation of surveillance cameras, access control systems, better lighting, fencing, or alarm systems. The goal is to create a security plan that not only meets industry standards but also aligns with the unique needs of the property, improving safety while reducing the likelihood of criminal incidents.
