Preventative Measures to Make Your Property More Secure

Important Note: These simple tips don't take the place of professional security services. Commercial properties often face hard and changing threats that are best handled by well-trained security staff. For complete and reliable protection, we strongly suggest working with licensed security experts like American Power Security.

Here are some easy things you can do to make your property more secure:

• Better Outside Lights: Put in lights that turn on when they sense movement around all entrances and parking areas to get rid of dark spots. Ensure the operational status of all lighting fixtures.
• Stronger Locks and Doors: Use strong locks that can't be easily broken and hardware that stops doors from being pried open on all doors that lead into your property. Inspect your locks regularly for any signs of damage.
• Cameras That People Can See: Put surveillance cameras where they are easy to see at main entrances, service areas, and places that are not well-lit. Seeing cameras can stop criminals and help you assess what happened.
• Using Keycards or PIN Codes to Enter: Set up access control systems that require a keycard or a PIN code to get in. This limits who can enter and keeps track of who comes and goes. This is part of good Home Security Services, too.
• Practice Emergency Plans with Your Team: Regularly go over what to do in emergencies (like leaving quickly, locking down, etc.) with your staff. Pick certain staff members to be in charge of safety in different areas.
