Alarm systems | Alarm systems are mechanisms that protect physical or digital infrastructure by sending an alert signal when unauthorized access to the infrastructure is detected. The alert signal can lead to the rapid intervention of security guards or law enforcement in order to investigate the situation. |
Detection dogs | Detection dogs are dogs that have been trained by an adversary to detect certain substances, primarily through their sense of smell. |
Guards | Guards (also known as security guards) are people employed by an adversary to protect buildings or other physical infrastructure. |
House raid | A house raid is a surprise visit of a residence conducted by an adversary to seize items, arrest occupants of the residence, or install cover surveillance devices. |
ID checks | An ID check (short for identity check) is the process by which the State verifies a person's identity by asking them for their personal information, requiring them to produce a government-issued ID document, or taking their biometric information (face photograph, fingerprints, DNA) and comparing it against a database. An ID check can be a pretext for questioning and pressuring, and can be followed by a search of the person's belongings. |
Increased police presence | Increased police presence is the process by which the police increase their presence in a particular place and time for two reasons: to intimidate, and to improve their options for intervention and their responsiveness. |
International cooperation | International cooperation is the exchange of information between law enforcement and intelligence agencies of different countries. |
