Thoughtful points. One I would like to add is that are the guards paid enough or do security companies keep majority of what residents pay in their bill. more

Also, thinking about it a bit more. Has anyone seen a security protocol manual? If you have it and its not confidential, please share. With something like that we can dramatically hold security companies more accountable.. more

. I was just shocked to read what happened with Alstom India President, a resident of my sector (44). Great ideas flowing here. On the subject of mobile usage/ensuring guards don't sleep on duty by Mr. Jha, does anyone have any ideas how? I have seen these violations many times in my complex Pearl Gateway more

Mr. Taparia and Mr. Srivastava: Nice ideas from both of you. One area where I'd like to comment on is that there has to be a limitation on the amount of mobile phones guards can use and some check/balance to ensure that night shift guards are not sleeping. Please share what have you seen work in your respective communities? more

Nice ideas Sumit. I believe if these alone are implemented with diligence, they can make a big difference. Another one to consider is: 5) Orienting service providers/vendors when events are held within the gated communities. Most of the contractors who come for catering/tenting services etc are subcontractors with no background checks and can be security threat for residents at times. It is very important for the resident (organizing the event) to define the protocol and what's not acceptable with the service providers and ensuring they stay within these boundaries. I am sure others will have more points to add.. more
