76
77 1. Policy:
78 11. The perimeter of PCF should ensure that:
79 11. Access is denied without proper authorization; and
80 11. Detainees and inmates remain within.
81 1. Rationale:
82 11. Without controlling the facility's perimeter, it would be difficult to manage the facility's security.

85 **CC 06_105 __PERIMETER CHECKS__**
86
87 1. Policy:
88 11. Jail personnel shall make routine and random perimeter checks.
89 11. Perimeter checks should be completed by at least two deputies.
90 11. Perimeter checks should be completed by armed deputies.
91 1. Rationale:
92 11. Perimeter checks allow jail staff to discover security vulnerabilities and maintenance needs.

95 **CC 06_106 __LIGHTING__**
96
97 1. Policy:
98 11. PCF should have perimeter lighting which illuminates the exterior and surrounding approaches to the jail.
99 1. Rationale:
100 11. Perimeter lighting prevents persons from approaching the facility under cover of darkness.

102
103 **CC 06_107 __EXTERNAL BARRIERS__**
104
105 1. Policy:
106 11. PCF should have perimeter barriers which protect the area surrounding the jail. Barriers can include fencing, walls, landscaping, other structures, and signs which:
107 111. Prevent or reduce access to restricted areas; and
108 111. Route vehicle and pedestrian traffic away from restricted areas.
109 1. Rationale:
110 11. Barriers function to prevent persons from having unrestricted access to vulnerable or other sensitive areas.
111 11. Most persons will be deterred by signs, landscaping, and other soft barriers. Persons entering an area set apart by soft barriers may be detected as obviously out of bounds and subject to an immediate investigative response.
112 11. Persons who are determined may be deterred by more formidable barriers and security.
