I would start out with the following;

• Identify and discuss the threat or security/safety problem.
• Who is affected?
• Are there conflicting perspectives in your facility about the extentof the problem (Do others see this the same way? If so, explain).
• Any other relevant situational issues (historical, social, cultural, economic, political)?
• Establish the extent of the problem you wish to prevent, such asimproving the security of your facility, training etc, choose one.
• Obtain statistics or data related to support your claim that there is a threat to your facility.
• Once the problem is identified, review literature review whichdiscusses how to prevent the issue from occurring or solve the securityproblem.
• Report on programs which have been successful, if they exist, and which have not been successful.
• Use primary sources (e.g., interviews, agency documents,observations) and OTHER sources (e.g., books and/or journal articles).

As you begin your write up the following will help you narrow what needs to be written;

• Remember the Target Environment (TE) Security Survey that was donein one of our earlier weeks try and synchronize the SURVEY andNARRATIVE so that it reflects what you stated was one of the theproblems that you discussed.
• Remember that as you are writing this assessment make sure yournarrative supports it. In other words explain how you conducted yourassessment, did you conduct a walk through with someone or conduct aninterview? RESTATE the threat to your facility and what you noted as youconducted your Risk Assessment.
• Conduct a Quantifiable Risk Assessment of your TE. Use the formula RISK = (P x C x V).

In conclusion of your assessment

• Design and discuss a solution which will reduce the occurrence ofRISK to the problem(s) you identified in your literature review and riskassessment/survey in the TE.
• Use the facilities geography, similar institutions, resources, and potentialities as a framework for your solution.
• Use resources provided by class material, lectures, and your own independent research.
• Demonstrate how your solution activates organizational and/or community engagement, consultations, and partnerships.
• Justify the design of your solution through academic literature which supports your approach.
• Include an evaluation program – show how you intend to measure the successes and failures of your solution.
