Most of America’s rural and small town airports were built at a time when security and crimeprevention were not issues. Consequently, little or no effort was made to incorporate security precautions into their design. This makes these facilities extremely vulnerable to modern criminals. Fortunately, there are a variety of relatively simple and inexpensive steps that can be taken to increase the security of airport facilities. Following the suggestion in this manual won’t guaranteeabsolute security, but it will give you a head start in protecting your airport and its users. This manual is based on an earlier document developed for use by government facilities and businesses. It has been in use for a several years and has been well received by its users. This manual is intended to function as an inspection and training instrument to enable you as a Small Airport Administrator orother responsible official to: • • Perform a physical security needs assessment of your facility(s) with regard to external security threats Implement measures to address security deficiencies identified in the assessment.

Components of the manual include: • An overview of general crime prevention theory. This overview provides a basic understanding of criminal motivation and the goals andmethods of crime prevention planning. A mostly non-technical discussion of security design theory. In particular, it introduces the concept of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and explains the CPTED elements: D efensible Space, Territoriality, Surveillance, Lighting, Landscaping, and Physical Security.
