Q: Why use bollards for perimeter security?

A: Why use bollards? Bollards are vertical posts that are secured to the ground to create a physical barrier to protect buildings, pedestrians, and other facilities from vehicular intrusion. Many large retailer are placing bollards in front of entrances and exits to reduce the risk of “crash and grab” intrusions and other unwanted physical breeches.  Bollards also protect customers from injury cashed by vehicles.
