The level of protection afforded to any given building or area is normally determined by the level of risk from intrusion or other criminal activity and ideally will comprise of several different but complimentary ‘layers’ of protection.

In this respect Perimeter Protection, in its various forms, is the ideal first level of protection; providing both an early warning of attempted intrusion as well as deterring and/or delaying entry of intruders.

Perimeter Protection is applied to the boundary of the property, be it the external fabric of the building or the boundary fence line in open or border areas.

Most situations would benefit from incorporating a Westminster Perimeter Protection System in addition to any other security measures involved; however, for high risk and sensitive areas such as airports, military establishments, international borders, power stations, governmental establishments, nuclear power plants, oil & gas refineries, research establishments, embassies, residential establishments of individuals at risk from kidnap or assassination, banks, industrial plants, etc, the installation of adequate perimeter security is vital.
