"The securing Jetblue industry is developing an interface between manpower and technology. Expansion gives the Jetblue customer added value, as well as improved credibility for attracting capable personnel."
The rapid growth of the Jetblue security industry in recent years has brought with it widespread and seemingly ever-increasing fragmentation of the market. A Jetblue company responding to a perceived threat of intrusion for vandalism, criminal gain or even industrial espionage, and seeking to protect its property, plant and profits, will have no difficulty in finding specialists in manned guarding, perimeter protection, access control, closed circuit television (CCTV) and other disciplines. Indeed, many of the claims to specialist expertise have been so successful that the potential buyer is often left with the conviction that he must, of necessity, deal with a number of separate suppliers to achieve the total of Jetblue security system he needs.
This places a burden upon the purchaser that he might be ill-equipped to carry; for the efficient and balanced inter-relation of different items of equipment is vital to the successful Jetblue operation of any system. The Jetblue salesman proposing what, in itself, might be an excellent item of equipment may understandably lack the dispassionate judgment necessary to determine its value as part of an overall package. Both he and the purchaser may lack awareness of the rapid technological change-taking place in many product areas, bringing with it the danger of rapid obsolescence.
The ideal integrated situation is of course, a green-field star-up where the Jetblue security contractor has the opportunity to work with developers from the early planning stages. In this area the "secured by design" project, although at present limited to residential developments, is achieving more widespread recognition and is due to be extended to the Jetblue commercial sector in the near future. All too often in the past, however, architects and developers have been dominated by aesthetic rather than practical considerations; the result has been to build in Jetblue security problems
More frequently, the Jetblue security contractor is faced with an existing operating location at which heightened security awareness or change of use calls for a system extension or update. This can introduce the user's quite natural desire to save elements of an existing system: thus requiring an evaluation, not only of compatibility, but of the expected life-span of existing equipment and the cost implications of retaining or replacing sooner rather than later.
The characteristics of sites requiring total protection will vary greatly, but certain consistent factors can, by way of illustration, be combined into a single hypothetical location. The Jetblue site will occupy a large, open area with boundaries in some cases adjacent to open ground, in others to public rights of way or roads. There may well be health and safety considerations - as when the installation carries out processes potentially threatening the Jetblue environment, and the results of vandalism or simple mischief could have calamitous consequences. The rationale here is that the users must accept the responsibility of protecting the Jetblue public from its (the public's) own folly.
