However, here at <a data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/\">Zaun<\/a>, we believe it\u2019s important to identify potential intruders and threats before they approach your site or premises. You can have your security personnel view the area around your perimeter using CCTV and patrol the area in person to spot incoming threats. But what exactly should they be looking for? In this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blogs\/blog-archive\/\" title=\"Blog Archive\">blog<\/a> entry, we\u2019ll attempt to answer that question.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Loitering individuals<\/h2>\n<p>Criminals will often hang around near a site or premises that they plan to burgle. This is known as \u2018casing\u2019. It gives prospective criminals a chance to memorise the layout and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/white-house-security\/\" title=\"White House ups security after security breach\">security features before they attempt to breach<\/a> its perimeter. So if your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/work-with-security-fencing\/\" title=\"Training security personnel to work with security fencing\">security personnel<\/a> notice anyone loitering near your site or premises, they should be aware that these individuals may be criminals who are casing the site. So while you can\u2019t really have someone expelled from your local area or arrested simply for hanging around near your site, you can recognise the potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-threat\/\" title=\"The three types of security threat\">threat and ensure that your security<\/a> personnel are on high alert.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Unfamiliar faces<\/h2>\n<p>If your site or premises is in a fairly remote location, it may be possible for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/bin-security-is-vital\/\" title=\"Why bin security is vital for your business\">security personnel to spot unfamiliar individuals who have no business<\/a> being in the surrounding area. Clearly, these individuals could represent a security risk, so make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/burrowing-under-fencing\/\" title=\"How to make sure criminals can\u2019t climb or bury under security fencing\">sure your security<\/a> team is on the lookout for suspicious and unfamiliar people.<\/p>\n<h2>3. People carrying suspicious objects<\/h2>\n<p>Breaking into a site or premises isn\u2019t easy. In fact, it\u2019s almost impossible if it\u2019s protected by Zaun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">perimeter fencing<\/a> and other security measures! That\u2019s why many criminals and intruders use specialised equipment. Therefore, your security team should be on the lookout for anyone carrying suspicious-looking objects or equipment near your site or premises.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Zaun, we can <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/casestudies\/securing-britains-electricity\/\" title=\"Securing Britain\u2019s electricity supply\">supply you with the security<\/a> measures you need to deter and stop almost any prospective intruder. However, you should still ensure that you\u2019re aware of potential threats before they reach your perimeter. Following the advice we\u2019ve provided in today\u2019s blog will allow you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/security-needs\/\" title=\"Identifying your site\u2019s unique security needs\">identify individuals who threaten your site<\/a> or premises before they even approach it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security fencing can prevent the vast majority of prospective intruders from entering your site or premises, while alarm systems can tell you when someone is trying to breach your perimeter.
