9 Tips for Preventing a Commercial Burglary

• While you may never be able to make your
  commercial enterprise 100 secure, there are
  multiple steps you can take to reduce the risks
  of your business being victimized by criminals
• 1.Have a commercial high security safe
  professionally installed
• If your business processes high volumes of cash,
  it can make it a prime target for criminals, and
  the only way to ensure that the money is kept as
  secure as possible during the times its on the
  premises, is by storing it in a commercial safe.
  Having the commercial safe professionally
  installed can also mean that even the most
  determined burglar wont be able to get into the
  safe, or make off with it, let alone find it.

• Ensure that high risk inventory is securely
  stored
• Not making it easy for thieves to steal high
  value items is the best way to protect your
  valuable inventory, and you can do this by
  storing them in a commercial grade safe, removing
  all high-risk window display items before the
  store is closed for the day, moving easy to grab
  items away from doors and consider adding
  security tags to certain items.
• Install security devices
• Alarm systems and security cameras are not only
  great for catching criminals in the act, but they
  can even act as a deterrent and discourage
  criminals from targeting your business.

4

• Make others aware of your security systems
• While some alarms are clearly visible, others may
  not be so, and even if they are visible, it never
  hurts to display the fact that you have robust
  security systems in place, as this alone can
  prevent criminals from targeting the business.
• If you dont keep cash on the premises, let it be
  known
• For whatever reason you dont keep large amounts
  of cash on the premises (or any cash at all),
  advertise the fact with a clearly visible sign to
  deter criminals.

5

• Lock up and lock up well
• Locking doors and windows is a no-brainer for any
  business owner, but there are additional locking
  measures you can take to secure your commercial
  premises, such as
• Putting bars on the windows
• Using a couple-cylinder deadlock
• Closing in windows that may have been targeted
  previously

6

• Light it up
• Buildings that are well illuminated are far less
  likely to be targeted by criminals, so if you can
  reduce the shadowy areas around your premises,
  youll give thieves and vandals less places to
  hide.
• Consider hiring a security guard
• Security guards are a valuable investment for
  many business owners, and having a static or
  patrolling guard has long been proven to be a
  fantastically effective deterrent for crime.

7

• Keep your business clean and tidy
• A business that looks well taken care of, is
  always going to be less attractive to burglars,
  and by keeping the area in and around the
  premises clean and tidy, should help to show that
  your business is being patronized frequently.
• Commercial burglaries can be devastating, but by
  taking additional steps to secure it, such as
  those listed above, you can help protect what
  youve worked hard to build up.
