Commercial & Industrial Security
As unfortunate as it may be, the reality is that thieves are far more common than most of us realize. In the United States, more than $35 million in merchandise is stolen from retail stores every day and about 1 in 11 people has taken an item from a store without paying for it *. Recent FBI statistics indicate over $4 billion is lost annually due to burglary. The bottom line is if the opportunity is there, someone is going to take it and your stuff in the process.
Almost all criminals prefer easy targets over difficult ones, so while no security system can guarantee you will never be a property crime victim, you can substantially reduce the chances of being burglarized by arming your premises with alarms, video cameras and trained personnel. Furthermore, a good surveillance system can provide substantial evidence to aid in the identification, capture and prosecution of someone who does perpetrate a crime on your property.
In addition to the substantial reduction in the number of thefts that occur on your property, a security service can save your business money by reducing your insurance premiums as well. Most insurance companies will reward you for having a security system put in place.
