Objectives and Contextualisation

The security project is a basic tool for the security professional, public or private, varying the approaches and application tools depending on the type of risks and the nature of the spaces (open or fenced) and the activities carried out in it. (public, private or mixed).
 
In this regard, the measurement of the value and cost of the risks will be different, as well as the nature of the resources contributed. The subject Practicum II pursues the purpose of placing the theoretical knowledge acquired in the subjects treated until today, and in parallel those that will be taught throughout the semester itself. Complementary methodologies and alternative points of view will be explained and applied to the model followed in the first semester project.
 
As a novelty in relation to Practicum I, it will be the introduction of the concept of social utility function, the consideration of the preferences surveyed and the cost and benefit of public projects that benefit and affect collectivities. The chosen model is risk analysis and the application of adequate prevention and reaction systems and procedures in a municipal environment. Each student will choose the municipality where he / she resides or works or that he / she can know in depth. It will do so from the perspective of a professional, who integrated or hired by the municipal entity will try to locate the panoply of risks of the municipality itself, paying special attention to those of an environmental or catastrophic nature, to those of an industrial nature generated in the municipality itself or in its borders, with diffusion capacity or generalized affectation, and those derived from activities with mass concurrence or criminal activities that take place in public spaces.
 
The work will be carried out, preferably, individually or exceptionally in groups of no more than three components, in any case justified.
 
 
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
 
  • Learn to identify and evaluate problems that can generate risks and the different risks, both environmental, catastrophic, industrial derived from activities located in the municipality or events of the perimeter, such as those generated by activities of public concurrence, and those of a criminal nature or antisocial that can take place in public spaces at the municipal level.
  • Apply knowledge about the physical laws on which the catastrophic risks operate and the casuistry and modus operandi of the criminal risks, in order to prevent scenarios and scenes of risk events. Know methods and valuation system for different situations.
  • Understand and apply the correct application of them.
  • Train to obtain the appropriate conclusions and develop preventive and defensive strategies in relation to the different situations posed.
  • Create action plans based on the index of social utility preferences and within the limitations of the availability of media.
  • Prepare operational plans, protocols and prevention procedures, reaction action.
  • Know and apply the state of the applicable arts in open environments and for public use, or fenced and private with mass influx

  • Plan and coordinate the resources of the three large subsystems that interact in questions of security: people, technology and infrastructures.
  • Respond to problems applying knowledge to practice.
  • Students must be capable of applying their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and they should have building arguments and problem resolution skills within their area of study.
  • Students must be capable of collecting and interpreting relevant data (usually within their area of study) in order to make statements that reflect social, scientific or ethical relevant issues.
  • Students must be capable of communicating information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
  • Students must develop the necessary learning skills to undertake further training with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Students must have and understand knowledge of an area of study built on the basis of general secondary education, and while it relies on some advanced textbooks it also includes some aspects coming from the forefront of its field of study.
  • Take account of social, economic and environmental impacts when operating within one's own area of knowledge.
  • Take sex- or gender-based inequalities into consideration when operating within one's own area of knowledge.
  • Use the capacity for analysis and synthesis to solve problems.

Methodology

Theoretical classes in the classroom will combine master classes, which will take up most of the time, and the development of examples.

The practical classes in the classroom, divided into two groups, will consist of the development of the chosen work and the application of theoretical knowledge with the use of applications of calculations and risk analysis.

The autonomous activities will correspond both to the personal study and to the resolution of the exercises and works proposed by the teacher. Each student will have to look for documentation of subjects related to the subject object of study and personal works of consolidation on what has exposed in class. You will also need to follow up and study different exercises and case studies. Tutorials with teachers will be arranged by email.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
