Residential physical security might not always be top of mind, but it’s one of the most critical factors in protecting residents, staff, and property. From unauthorized access to poorly lit areas and outdated security measures, even small gaps can create vulnerabilities that put communities at risk.
This training session, led by HAI Group Senior Risk Control Consultant J.B. Smith, walks housing professionals through proven strategies to identify weaknesses, strengthen site security, and create safer living environments.
Security concerns don’t just affect property assets—they impact resident safety, staff confidence, and community reputation. A proactive approach to physical security can reduce crime, deter unwanted activity, and help housing organizations avoid costly incidents. Over time, consistent security practices build trust, preserve property value, and contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.
