Business Security Tips To Keep Crooks Away

By Mark Mahaffey


Have you ever considered the way a crook views your business? As you gaze at your business, it appears different than it appears to a crook who sees it. Actually, it may shock you to discover what he sees. Because criminal activity in our country is so high, it is startling that more people do not do what it takes to increase their business security.

But, for those who will do things differently in their business security, the risks of experiencing a break in can be reduces. It is worth any time and effort you put into it, because it could make the difference between being robbed or not. Would it not be worth it to spend some time and money if it helps keep you safe?

For example, when a crook sees your business, he looks for things that will make his job easier. Burglars choose businesses that they can break into relatively easily, so that they can get in and get out fast-before they are caught or noticed. And they do not choose the businesses they break into at random: they will spend time checking out neighborhoods and businesses before they decide on one to rob.

What about your landscaping? If there are large plants or trees outside your building, you are compromising your business security! A robber can climb a tree to get to upstairs windows, or he can get behind a big bush to stay out of sight of passers-by or police. Consider pruning your landscaping if it has grown out of control.

What about the locks on your doors and windows? Are they strong? Sometimes criminals make their way inside a business by walking or climbing through unlocked windows and doors! Keep them locked!

Crooks also notice how light or dark your business and property is. In their mind, the darker the better because they like to work under the secrecy of that it provides. By installing bright lights both inside and outside your business, you will make your building very unattractive to burglars.
