Commercial business burglary

Ninety per cent of burglary prevention is physical security. If your complex is locked up and unauthorized entry is made difficult, time consuming, noisy and visible, chances of a successful burglary are kept to a minimum. The burglar will pass up your business and look for an easier target. Prevention Locks on all outside entrances and inside security doors should be double cylinder deadbolts with moveable collars. The deadbolt should have at least one inch throw containing a hardened steel insert and protected by a latch guard. Padlocks should be of hardened steel mounted on bolted hasps and always locked to prevent exchange. Serial numbers should be filed off to prevent new keys from being made. Doors should be of solid construction, metal lined and secured with heavy metal crossbars. Jams around doors must be solid. All exposed hinges should be pinned to prevent removal. Windows should have secure locks or you can put in a window alarm. Burglar resistant glass treatments are also recommended. An example would be the installation of polyester security film. However, this must be used conjunction with the alarm’s glass break sensor. Heavy metal grates may be used on windows of high vulnerability such as rear windows. Check with the Fire Marshall for safety requirements. Lights must provide optimum visibility, both inside and out, with those outside having vandal-proof covers over the lights and power source. Entire perimeter must be well lit, especially the area around doors and other possible entry points.Alarm systemshould be supplied by a licensed alarm company with a central monitoring station. Check the safety alarm system on a daily basis, and advertise its presence to deter break-ins. Cash register should be kept in plain view from outside the building so it can be easily monitored and should be left open when empty and not in use. Safe should be fire proof, burglar resistant, anchored securely and in plain view. Leave it open when it is empty, and use it lock up valuables when business is closed. Change the combination whenever someone with access to it leaves your employment. Building exterior should be checked including the roof, cellar and walls. Secure all openings. Maintain good visibility by not allowing landscaping boxes, trash bins, vehicles or equipment near building where they might provide concealment or access to the roof. Perimeter fences need to be adequate enough to keep intruders out, and at the same time allow good visibility of your business by neighbors and police. Key control should be done in a responsible manner. A master key system where on key opens all locks may be convenient, but it may not be the best for security. Code all keys, keep them locked up when not in use, and do not allow employees to leave them lying around or make duplicates. Change locks whenever you suspect key security has been jeopardized. ID numbers should be marked on all equipment and stickers should be displayed to make this plainly evident to would-be thieves. The best number to use is your personal driver’s license number. Also keeping a record of serial numbers on all equipment may help in recovery. ...read more

Keeping your children safe while they are alone

Working parents have a lot to think about when it comes to keeping their family protected especially the children who are the ones that are vulnerable. The majority of Americans and people around the world are a part of the workforce and has to sometimes leave their children home by themselves. There is much anxiety, worry, frustration or even fear involved in leaving a child or children “on their own,” when school lets. Sometimes, child care arrangements with neighbors and relatives break down or there simply are not many alternatives. What can you do? • Make sure that your children are ready to care for themselves• Make sure you have an security alarm system• Teach the child or children how to turn on and turn off the alarm security system.• Teach your children basic safety tips and rules• Know where you children are, what they are doing and who they are with• Check on your kids• Work out a kind of telephone code that will let them know that you are the one who is calling them. For example, tell them to listen for four rings and then you would hang up and call back immediately. Are you ready? Can your children – • Be trusted to go straight home after school?• Easily use the telephone, locks and kitchen appliances?• Follow rules and instructions well?• Handle unexpected situations without panicking?• Stay home alone without being afraid?• Have a certain maturity? Talk it over with them, and listen to their worries and ideas. Work out rules on having friends over, household chores, homework, and television. Remember, staying at home alone can build a child’s self esteem, sense of responsibility, and practical skills. Your child can be afraid and you don’t know so make sure you have a lengthy discussion to find out if this is the case. Teach your “home alone” children • How to call 9-1-1 or your area’s emergency number or call the operator?• How to give directions to your house in case of an emergency?• To check in with you or a neighbor immediately after arriving home• Turn on thehome alarm systemas soon as they get home• To never accept gifts or rides from people they don’t know well and who you did not approve of• Come home straight after school. Don’t linger on the streets• Walk in a group of other children or with another school mate. Never walk alone• How to use the door, windows, and locks• To never let anyone into the home without asking your permission• To never let a caller at the door or on the phone know that they are alone• To carry a house key with them in a safe place; inside a shirt pocket or sock. Do not leave the key under the door mat or on a ledge.• How to escape in the case of a fire• To not go into the house or apartment if things do not look right such as a broken window, ripped screen or opened door• To let you know about anything that frightens them or makes them feel uncomfortable. Your children are depending on you for their safety and protection. Be sure you get a home alarm system, electronic bark dog alarm, door alarm, window alarm or hidden wireless camera.
