Why site size alone is not enough#
Guard force planning should consider fixed posts, operating hours, patrol routes, visitor and vehicle volume, risk levels and supporting technologies.
Key inputs#
- Number of mandatory fixed posts
- Shift coverage and relief requirements
- Patrol distance and frequency
- Traffic volume
- Site-specific risk
- CCTV and access control capability
Conclusion#
The right headcount should be derived from a risk-based post plan, not a simple area-per-guard formula.
