It’s sad to say that the world is not a safe place. Security systems in Southampton businesses are now more crucial than ever. Serious crimes happen every day. Some of them directly affect not just your business but the potential safety of your staff and your customers. Even in our friendly communities, blatant daylight robbery is unacceptable. Cafe, restaurants and even the local pub.

Admittedly crime has always been an issue. However due to the disastrous events in Manchester you now have the added elements of terrorism. The country is on a higher security alert than before. Even in these dangerous times, there are sadly those who have nothing better to do with their time. They have no disregard for other people’s welfare, jeopardising public safety in times of peril with pranks and hoaxes.
The Police are great but they can’t be everywhere in an ever growing and prosperous city. You may need to be proactive in taking care of the welfare of your business. Think how your staff might deal with any of the recent incidents we’ve mentioned? Do they need further training, or even how much life would be someone to guide them in an emergency?
3 Arguments for a Strong and Stable Security Presence at your Business
1) Expertise
With a strong experienced security staff presence on the site, your business is well equipped to deal with any emergency crisis. When you have experienced professionals taking care of any unwanted attention your business can feel the relaxation. This can free up time and morale for running your business. The more relaxed and comfortable everyone feels, the more likely it will lead to higher productivity.
2) Be prepared!
When you are prepared for anything, nothing can surprise you. It’s difficult to say that your business will be targeted by after-effects of recent terrorist activity but criminals will certainly exploit this path. Remember that most terrorist organisations are financed by petty crime so there is a causal link. Protect your customer’s confidential data, protect your community and in the unlikely event of being caught up in an incident, at least you will have a backup plan. With a manned security presence at your business, you are even more prepared.
3) Crime shouldn’t pay
Even if crime does not directly create a risk to your business revenue, it’s still good to have an extra layer of security, providing a service to your local community. It will benefit others, as well as yourself. In an honest, decent society everyone looks after each other and even just one well placed CCTV camera can help protect passers-by. Don’t let criminals get away with it by simply turning the other way when crime strikes.
