Subject: Recommendation Report “Topic” Proposal
Date: The purpose of this proposal is to outline my plans for a recommendation report. I will be comparing two different security measure tools, besides smartcards and security cameras to protect Penn State Harrisburg classrooms, severed rooms, main entrances and student dorm for Penn State Harrisburg. I will briefly describe the situation, including what they are using now. Next I will list the two security tools that would help as well as relevant qualities of each one, elaborating and describing as necessary.
Case study:
Penn State Harrisburg is a branch campus of Penn State university with a growing number of students enrolled each year. The enrolled number of students in 2013 for Penn State Harrisburg was 4441 and increased in 2014 to 4519. With Penn State Harrisburg campus being 218 acres, security needs to make sure no intruder gets on the premises that should not be here. Right now they have security cameras, security on campus, and cards for staff but it takes the security takes 3- 5 minutes to get to the intruder and the intruder could easily break into a classroom or hid somewhere in one these rooms with just a lock on it or someone could easily steal a maintainer person’s card to get in a room. One experience I had last year was when 2 guys who were homeless got on campus and I was sitting with a friend near Olmsted and they asked what campus this was and if there were any parties going on campus. We didn’t really tell them anything and asked another guy beside us and left their things in front of Olmsted building and went inside. About 3-5 minutes later the security on campus came asking if saw 2 guys with stuff on them coming though that way and we said yes and told the campus security they were in Olmsted building. Most security consultants say that rapid communication will solve response time as well as training annually will help reduce the response time. Bob Lang was once a
