Wouldn’t it be great to have a policeman parked outside your business 24/7 ensuring the protection of your assets and employees? This would be the ultimate deterrent for burglars and make everyone feel safe! Of course this just isn’t possible. In fact, law enforcement are reluctant to respond to any alarms without verifying the alarm is legitimate! Of course traditional security companies cannot offer verification without disturbing you, the business owner. What are some of the risks your business is facing?
- Commercial robbery
- Fraud and forgery
- Shop theft
- Theft by employees
- Theft of and from vehicles
- Leaving premises without payment
- Arson
- Work place violence
- Unauthorized entry to premises
Putting a price on safety and security is a dangerous misconception. Often the value of an elite and professional security system is only realized after a crime has been committed, often with irreversible consequences. A professionally monitored security system from Sonitrol offers the following tangible benefits from the moment of installation:
- Early detection of intrusion
- Alarm Verification
- Criminal apprehension
- Protection of employees and assets
- Reduced or no false alarms
- More comprehensive coverage across your facility than motion detectors
The point is, don’t let cost be the sole deciding factor when it comes to safety considerations for your business. Take a look at these frightening statistics
According to statistics from our Preliminary Annul Crime Statistics for 2012 published the following numbers on June 3, 2013
- In 2012, the violent crime offenses of murder and non – negligent manslaughter increased 1.5 percent from the 2011 figures, aggravated assault increased 1.7 percent, and robbery increased 0.6 percent
- Robberies increased 1.1 percent in metropolitan counties
- Motor vehicle theft increased 1.3 percent, and larceny-theft offenses remained virtually unchanged.
According to the FBI, burglaries accounted for approximately $4.8 billion in lost property in the United States in 2011, the most recent year for which data exist. With almost 2.2 million such crimes committed, this puts the average loss per burglary at $2,185.
Don’t put a price on safety. Invest in the security of your business and the safety of your employees with a professionally installed and monitored security system.
