Business Security
How to reduce the possibility of a business burglary Listed below are some steps that anyone could follow to help with the security of their business: 1. Install lighting at the front and back as well as near any side doors of your business. Try to eliminate as many shadows as possible. 2. Use only solid core doors. Be sure the door frames cannot easily be jimmied.
3. Use deadbolts and be sure to change the locks
every time an employee with access to them leaves.
4. Install burglar-resistant glass or use wire
mesh or iron bars over all glass.
5. Arrange merchandise so that a passerby can
see into the store. Keep your expensive merchandise away from the windows,
toward the center of the store.
6. Keep front windows free from posters, etc.,
which can prevent a burglar inside from being seen by a passerby.
7. Install and use a drop safe. Limit the amount
of cash in the register and post signs indicating that a drop safe is used
and register only has limited cash.
8. Check ventilation system to ensure it can not
be used to gain entry.
