Security Advisory Section

Crime Matters

Crime Prevention Bureau(CPB)

The Security Advisory Section is responsible for conducting security surveys of sensitive premises such as police and other government facilities. Surveys can include both physical and/or procedural security, with an emphasis on providing practical and risk-proportionate advice.

The Security Advisory Section is also able to offer security advice on a wide range of topics. For example, a dedicated Architectural Liaison Officer can offer advice on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), wherein architects and planners are encouraged to incorporate security concepts into the design of new government complex prior to their construction, rather than adding expensive security options later.

The section enjoys close liaison and cooperation with many different groups and sectors of the business community including the security, banking, insurance, hotels, logistics and transport industries. The Security Advisory Section is also responsible for analysing crime trends in order to determine crime prevention strategies.
