Preferred term

perimeter control  

Definition

  • A perimeter control is normally a secure boundary protecting an area or a building on a permanent basis through which only authorized people are allowed to pass. However, temporary perimeter controls, or cordons as they are often known, are set up on a regular basis in response to actual or threatened crises, either to prevent something happening or to aid response and recovery when something has occurred. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crisis Management; Perimeter Control]
