Security System & Human Management: My Reflection

By Stephen B. Oladipo (Ph.D)

Security system & Human Management: My Reflection is a book that reechoes the demand to strengthening the irreplaceable and unrivalled roles of human element in any and every security setting. It is written to rejiggle the security ideation of the policy makers, security experts, and private owners of security outfits towards reprioritizing the pivotal position of the ordinary security personnel in the entire security buildup while emphasizing a welfare reflection of such human factors significance in the security system setup. The book equally redirects the attention need to revigorate the local/rural intelligence sources through deliberate policy-programme implementation towards a systemic and functional integration of such into the nations security mainstream. Pushing towards reverving the essence of unfettered interagency intelligence sharing, conspectus analyses were advanced within the book with a view to intermutualize security information sharing in West African and African subregions.

Foreword

Effective human management plays critical roles in an ideal security system. These roles cannot be undermined. They cannot be trivialized and their importance cannot be over emphasized in every establishment, setting or institution that is less prone to security breaches.

Governments around the world devote huge sum of money, streaming in billions in every budget year to acquire, maintain, procure and install heavy and state-of-the-art security equipment. These security devices are often in the form of soft and hard wares. The commonest of such devices or security equipment include: Ammunitions and weapons of all sorts, ranging from hand-held pistols to heavy artilleries. Some build high fences around critical assets, they purchase razor wire and procure metal spikes, protective barriers, guard towers, security lighting, trenches, planters used as vehicle barriers to increase the standoff distance among others, which are classified as physical security devices. The electronic ones may include: intruders’ alarms, closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) systems, electronic access control systems, space saver drop arm optical turnstiles, hermetically sealed reed switches, passive infrared detectors, ultrasonic detectors, compact surveillance radar, photo-electric beams, taut wire fence systems etc. While the biometric devices have equally been recognized to include: geometry scanner for access control, fingerprint residential/office lock, geographical access control and so on.

The policy discretion of every responsive and trend conscious government which fortifies her security environment by acquiring these electro-biometrical and physical security mechanism is usually commendable. However, the coordinate of effectiveness and sustainability in every security system so set up remains the human element there in. These are the foot-soldiers manning or operating the million dollar artilleries in the military formation. They are the rank and file and/or officers operating the police aircrafts, surveillance drones or armored tanks towards effective policing. They are the personnel in all other paramilitary formations as well as the private security guards that are in charge of coordinating and maintaining all of the physical, mechanical, biometrical or electronic security devices so deployed in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of both government and private corporations in Nigeria and anywhere in the world. This is why issue of effective human management in every security system is imperative and must not be tendered with gloves-hands.

The book: security system and human management therefore reflects its title. It appraises the use of the modern day/state-of-the-art equipment in effective security system with emphasis on PROPER deployment of security personnel. Having identified the security personnel as the human factor in the entire security system so set up; hence, the demand for attention need, which bothers on improved welfare, forms the focal issue of the book’s discourse. The book as a research piece also suggests the integration of the informal-formal control approach to issues of border security in Nigeria and indeed, in West African sub-region.

The book: security system and human management is therefore recommended for use as a guide in the field of human management within the security sector. Its usage is also appraised as manual for owners of Private
