Section 2. The Basics of Securing your Premises

Maintaining Clear Zones

Eliminate vegetation to maintain clear zones along fences, roads, around structures and especially along property lines. A distance of 15 feet is recommended. Remove all obstructions and places of concealment near your facilities. Do not use vegetation to conceal unsightly areas. It does not really hide anything and may only provide cover for intruders. For example, if shrubs are used to conceal an old well, the effect is purely cosmetic. Proper measures should be taken to lock or seal off the well.
