Exercise 4

You are the legal administrator of a medium-sized criminal law firm. The firm is located downtown next to the courthouse in your city. The partners of the firm often work late with their secretaries and legal assistants. Many of their clients have been accused of violent crimes, and the area where the building is located is not known for being safe. Contact your local police department and ask about the statistics for violent crimes in the area. After ascertaining the risk, create a plan for implementing security procedures in your firm's building and parking lot.
