What is the purpose of a 'man-trap' or 'sally port' at a high-security facility entrance?
Answer: An enclosed entry vestibule where one door must close and lock before the next door can open, preventing simultaneous access
A man-trap creates an airlock-style entry where only one door can be open at a time, ensuring each person is individually verified before proceeding.
When logging vehicles into a secured parking area, which information is MOST critical to record?
Answer: License plate number, make/model, driver name, and entry/exit time
Accurate vehicle logs create an auditable record that can be used to investigate incidents or unauthorized access.
Which of the following is a physical perimeter security measure designed to prevent vehicle ramming attacks?
Answer: Anti-ram bollards or vehicle barriers rated to stop moving vehicles
Anti-ram bollards are purpose-built barriers that can absorb or stop a vehicle traveling at speed, protecting buildings and people from vehicle-borne attacks.
During an access control shift, an officer discovers that an employee's badge has been reported lost or stolen. The CORRECT action is to:
Answer: Immediately deactivate the badge in the access control system and notify the supervisor
A lost or stolen badge must be deactivated immediately to prevent unauthorized use by whoever found or stole it.
What does 'perimeter lighting' primarily accomplish for a secured facility?
Answer: Eliminates shadows along the perimeter to deter intrusion and support camera and guard observation
Adequate perimeter lighting removes concealment opportunities that intruders rely on and improves the effectiveness of both human guards and surveillance cameras.
A visitor attempts to enter a restricted area without an escort after signing in at the lobby. The armed officer on post should:
Answer: Intercept the visitor, explain the escort policy, and contact the host to provide an escort
Signing in at the lobby does not grant unescorted access to restricted areas; the officer must enforce escort policy and facilitate the proper procedure.
