Which item is NOT typically part of evaluating a facility’s perimeter security for gaps or vulnerabilities?

• A. Fencing and gates
• B. Lighting
• C. Cameras
• D. Fire extinguisher placement

Answer: (D)

Perimeter security evaluation focuses on how well the outer boundary is protected against unauthorized entry. Physical barriers and deterrents at the edge—such as fencing and gates—define and control access points. Good lighting reduces hiding spots and signals presence, while cameras provide surveillance and a record of activity along the perimeter. Fire extinguisher placement, however, is about fire safety and internal protection rather than assessing gaps or vulnerabilities in the boundary itself. It’s concerned with occupants’ safety and firefighting readiness inside or near the facility, not with how easily someone could breach the outer perimeter. So the item not typically part of evaluating a facility’s perimeter security for gaps or vulnerabilities is fire extinguisher placement.
