Start to Finish
Begin from the approach to the residence: what is the overall security posture. As compared to neighboring residences, does it blend, stand out or present a target of opportunity. What is the overall condition of the surrounding residences.
Observation
Is the residence well maintained, easily identified (house numbers), in good repair. Does it stand out or blend with neighboring residences. What, if anything is notable.
Impression
Looking for a target of opportunity, does this residence appear hardened, weak or blend. Are there any exploitable weaknesses readily identified. What is the overall impression.
Reassessments
Depending on the initial observations and required corrective actions, a reassessment may be required. If a reassessment is conducted, ensure results of the previous assessment are available.
