    Common Misconceptions About Security

    Thousands of small, medium and large businesses are broken into every day, with the result sometimes being catastrophic for the company. Whether opening for the first time, moving locations or simply looking to upgrade, business owners have a lot of aspects to consider. The security of their premises should be high priority on that list. Nearly 9 per cent of small businesses suffered a burglary in 2016, according to Chicago-based insurance agency Insureon. The survey revealed that a business owner could pay up to $8,000 out of their own pocket following a burglary incident - not a small price to pay. Thankfully, there are security measures a business can take to significantly lower that risk, but choosing the right option is essential. Here at Sonitrol Security of Delaware Valley, we’ve created a list of the five most common misconceptions when it comes to conventional security systems. 1 - All security companies use the same technology Most security...

That's why you need to do whatever you can do to keep them safe. here are some ways you can do just that. Keep Your Employees Aware Just like it's important to be aware of your surroundings while you're out in public, it's also important to be aware of your surroundings in the workplace. Unfortunately, criminals will likely attempt to commit their acts using the element of surprise, so it can be very hard to predict when danger is going to strike.

Now, however, a new form of theft is occurring with increasing frequency. Organized Retail Crime (ORC) costs the retail industry $30 billion per year, and a shocking 97% of retail stores have admitted to being a victim of ORC.  The Lifting Strategy Simple shoplifting is generally a cut and dried case. A store catches the thief in action, they are given a slap on the wrist, and everyone moves on with their lives. ORC is a different ballgame. Lifters are not independent agents, but rather more like contracted employees of a grander scheme.  The way it works is a group of lifters flood one retail location for a certain amount of time. When it gets too hot (too much attention) they leave, letting the store owner believe they solved the problem. If any...
