Congratulations, it’s your first writing assignment in HLS 210, and you have already been hired by a private sector company to serve as their Physical Security Manager (PSM). The company, Westlake Chemical Corporation, has established itself as a multifaceted force in a relatively specialized industry. Among its petrochemical products, WLCfocuses primarily on the production of the most globally demanded and historically utilized substances, ethylene and polyethylene - compounds which act physiologically as hormones in plants.

As a side note, this company/facility is a component of the U.S. Critical Infrastructure Chemical sector. The Chemical Sector is an integral component of the U.S. economy, employing nearly 1 million people, and earning revenues of more than $637 billion per year.

After your initial orientation to the company, the CEO calls you into her office to discuss the immediate security needs of the plant. Apparently, physical security has been an afterthought for the company in recent years. The CEO attributes this condition to the fact that many in company leadership do not understand the need for investments in physical security. The CEO is determined that if you could develop a comprehensive, yet concise, presentation on physical security for the company board of trustees and company leadership staff, it would be easier to invest in physical security in the future. The CEO lets you know that you have a little over a week to develop the presentation and submit it to her for review. The details of that presentation are below.
