After identifying potential vulnerabilities, it is important to develop practical strategies for enhancing protective measures. If your situation is like most, the existing building structure and budgetary restrictions may limit how elaborate your solutions can be. However, thinking creatively may reveal a wide array of security alternatives that are very cost effective. Examples include:

• Using environmental solutions to improve access control.
• Developing procedures to improve security, and consistently enforcing existing protocols.
• Taking advantage of in-house capabilities to correct physical vulnerabilities.
• Combining technology solutions with simple, low-tech alternatives.
• Partnering with the community to develop shared strategies.
