If you have your own business and there has been a lot more crime in your area, you need to take steps to keep your employees and your building safe. Fortunately, there are many ways you can do this, two of which are listed below.
Hire a Security Service
Contact a security service in your area to hire one or more armed security guards to patrol your property. You can hire someone to be there during the day, as well as someone to patrol the property at night when a burglar is more likely to break in to steal from you.
This can help if you have a crisis, such as an intrusion, natural disaster, fire, and more. The security service guard can help manage all crises you may have. The service can contact law enforcement for you if needed. If there are injuries, the guard can contact a hospital, fire department, etc. to get things under control much faster.
A security guard can prevent crime from happening in the first place. If someone tries to break in and sees a security guard, they will likely leave the area immediately. If someone does still try to break in, the security guard is trained in knowing how to deal with this person or persons. If you have a surveillance system installed, such as security cameras at the entrances and exits of the building, a security guard can monitor these cameras on a regular basis. Armed security services can offer a lot of protection to businesses.
Install a Security System
Along with a security guard, hire a security company to install a security system for your business. This way, if someone does try to break in, an alarm will go off immediately alerting authorities. The alarm itself will likely cause the person to run away. The security company will install sensors at all entry points, such as doors and windows. They can also install security lights on the property, which will automatically turn on when someone steps near the light. Installing lights close to the entrance can deter an intruder.
The security company can also install security cameras for you both inside and outside your building. If you are dealing with a lot of crime, consider also installing cameras and video monitors inside to watch in real-time as things are happening.
Having a security guard and a security system installed can help your employees feel much safer coming to work for you.
