Sasway, Crime Prevention Specialist, Carlsbad Police Subject: CP9706A, King Plan Review Recommendations Carlsbad Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit has provided the following optimal security recommendations. The purpose of this document is to safeguard property and public welfare by regulating and reviewing the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures. The standards used in this document represent model international standards. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design The proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life. The proper design influences this by positively affecting human behavior. The design includes the physical environment, the planned behavior of people, the productive use of space and an effective crime/loss prevention program. Natural Surveillance 1. Place and design physical features to maximize visibility. This will include building orientation, windows, entrances, walkways, landscape trees and shrubs, fences and any other physical obstruction. 2. Design the placement of persons and or activities to maximize surveillance possibilities. 3. Design lighting that provides for appropriate nighttime illumination of walkways, entrances and driveways. Natural Access Control 1. Use sidewalks, pavement, lighting and landscaping to clearly guide guests to and from selected entrances. 2. Use real or symbolic barriers like fences or landscaping to prevent and or discourage access to or from dark and or unmonitored areas. Provisions for territorial reinforcement 1. Use pavement treatments, landscaping and fences to define and outline ownership or property. Lighting 1. Equip homes on all sides with lighting fixtures. 2. Install lights on the house in the eaves to illuminate the walls of the house. 3. Choose light fixtures with dawn to dusk sensors or timers. 4. Equip all entrances, including the garage door, with a light fixture that is capable of illuminating the door and five (5) feet of the surrounding area. 256O Orion Way • Carlsbad, CA 92O1O-724O • (76O) 931-21OO • FAX (76O) 931-8473 Landscaping 1. Plan a landscaping design that enhanced surveillance and security. 2. Tree canopies should be no lower than six (6) feet and should not allow access to roofs or balconies. 3. Let landscaping augment, not deter from lighting and addressing. 4. Plant only low profile shrubs and maintain below two (2) feet. 5. Use security plants where necessary to prevent entering and tampering. 6. Install walls and fences that are see through for surveillance. 7. Install lockable gates that allow surveillance 8. Keep entranceways clear of clutter Addressing 1. Locate numerals where they are clearly visible from the front street 2. They should be a contrasting color to the background on which they are affixed. 3. Numerals shall be no less, than four (4) inches in height and illuminated during the hours of darkness. Entrances 1. Front entrance designs should allow vision from the front door to the access street. 2. Keep entranceways clear of clutter. Doors Do not use of glass within 42 inches of a locking device as it increases the risk of burglary. Install wooden doors of solid core construction with a minimum thickness of one and three-fourths (1-3/4) inches. This includes the garage pedestrian door to the outside and the door from the garage into the residence. . Further, equip all doors with a single cylinder dead-bolt lock using a 5-pin tumbler. Connect the deadbolt to the inner portion of the lock by connecting screws. Ensure the lock has a one-inch throw that can withstand a cutting tool attack. Choose a deadbolt that embeds at least three-fourths of an inch into the strike plate. Viewer 1. Arrange entrance doors so that the occupant has a view of the area immediately outside the door without opening the door. Except doors requiring a fire protection rating that prohibits them, such a view may be provided by a door viewer having a field of view of not less than 190 degrees. Mounting height should not exceed fifty-four (54) inches from the floor. Strike Plates 1. Reinforce all deadbolt strike plates. Choose Strike plates constructed of a minimum 16 U.S. gauge steel, bronze, or brass and secure it to the jamb by a minimum of two screws, which should penetrate at least two (2) inches into the solid backing beyond the surface to which the strike is attached. Window and sliding glass doors 1. All exterior sliding glass doors and windows should be equipped with locking devices which will keep the sliding panel of the door or window from being opened from the outside horizontally or vertically. 2. Louvered windows should not be used. Hinges 1. Equip hinges for out-swinging doors with non-removable hinge pins or a mechanical interlock to preclude removal of the door from the exterior by removing the hinge pins.
