Using these charts, you may conclude:

1. While trespassing is always a concern, the figures indicate that you actually had fewer trespassing incidents than your peers.
2. It appears that, on average, your agency reported more bomb threat incidents and slightly more arson incidents, than did your peers.
3. Your agency did not report many incidents in the other categories, which is consistent with the composite averages.

From these conclusions, you might recommend:

1. No changes to procedures or budgets to investigate trespassing, hijacking, sabotage or Chemical, Biological, or Nuclear (C-B-N) incidents for the next year.
2. Increases in funding to investigate ways to reduce bomb threats and arson within the agency property, and to develop procedures to address issues found.

When looking further into the causes of these incidents consider the following:

1. In cases where there is an increase in a particular security threat, was the increase a sudden spike, or was it a long-term trend?
2. Were the data entered incorrectly or duplicated?
