How to make SOP for security of apartment & housing society?

Well, I made plenty of searches to establish new SOP for our apartment as I was given a task to do so being an Executive Committee Member

After hours of search, I could able to locate a open google drive access which was shared generously for good intention. It is basically from Mumbai and bit old and in very details based on the police dept advice. Here is the link which I shortened using bitly (no harm) - https://bit.ly/2RYe6qB

It gives me the basic kick start with skeleton and we did a brainstorm for 30 minutes to get key issues & requirement and modified as below in English & Tamil ( Elaborated than English with Dos & Don'ts for Security office), You can include / replace your apartment name 

If you want to get in your regional language, check google. I used a website called Tamil India Typing. Here you can type the Tamil word in English like Sekyurity for செக்யூரிட்டி , Vidhimuraipadiyana for விதிமுறைப்படியான. You can find such translating website for your regional language at your ease.
