A few areas to note when looking at this report
Where there has been no security outside intruders
have had free reign to steal what they want undetected. If you have no
security outside you really need to think about it now. We have given you a few
notes on guarding below the report.
Giving a member of staff on the property a panic
button is good for overall security on the premises. It protects them, and helps
to protect you. Often staff are targeted first and are then the route into the
main premises undetected – especially before residents retire for the night.
There are an increasing number of break in’s through
the roof. This has been on the up over the last few months, and usually was
restricted to Commercial premises. Residential sites are now being targeted.
Have a look at your own systems and make sure that you have this area covered,
to prevent undetected access to the premises or your security equipment.
If you need any advice on this or any other security
worries please call your local branch or sms the word ADVICE

· The
presence of a security guard at a business can provide peace of mind and a
sense of security to the business owner, employees and customers. This
may be particularly important for businesses that deal in very high-end
merchandise or are located in high-crime areas.
· Simply
having a security guard present is a great deterrent to crime. Thieves will
think twice about targeting a business that has uniformed protection.
· A
guard is a greater visual deterrent than just camera surveillance or a standard
security system. A vigilant guard is able to press a panic button.
· Guards
can also be available as escorts for customers and employees to get to their
cars after dark.
· Hiring
personable and capable guards lets you communicate that your business is secure
and customer-oriented.
· If
you need to secure valuables outside the a guard is often the way to go,
and whilst seemingly expensive , they are in fact great value for money
as they prevent theft
-
Make sure the guard is properly supervised by the
guard company .This is essential.
