Safeguards Consulting is proud to share that our Founder, Mark Schreiber, recently contributed to an article from ASIS International and Security Management!
Schreiber and Sara Mosqueda's insightful article delves into the realm of security and crime prevention using the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. These principles provide valuable strategies for reducing criminal activity through environmental approaches. One of the most frequently overlooked aspects of these principles is landscaping, specifically the use of "hostile vegetation" in creating a secure environment. What constitutes hostile vegetation? Plants can serve both aesthetic and protective functions, discouraging trespassers and increasing visibility. Throughout the article, Mosqueda and Schreiber will walk readers through eight different plant species that will not only beautify your facility but also help to create a CPTED-friendly flower bed.
