Do You REALLY Need A Professional Security System For Your Business? , September 10, 2010 1:19pm

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 verification the alarm is legitimate!  Of course traditional security companies cannot offer verification without disturbing you, the business owner.  Only Sonitrol Tri-County can verify alarms through unique Audio and Video monitoring. 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 (e.g., from gasoline pumps)
  • 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:

  • In 2009, there were an estimated 2,222,196 burglaries—an increase of 2% from 2008
  • Burglaries  were up 3.6% in 2009 and accounted for 23% of all crimes nationally.
  • Of all burglaries, 62% involved forced entry, 33% were without force, and 7% were forced attempts.
  • Victims of burglary offenses suffered an estimated $4.6 billion dollars in lost property!
  • Average dollar loss per offense was $16,000!
  • Arsons of industrial/manufacturing structures resulted in the highest average dollar losses (an average of $212,388 per offense
  • More than 1.7 million employee were assaulted at work last year
  • 6 million employees were threatened with guns or other physical harm
  • 77% of woprkplace homicides are committed with firearms
  • Murder is the leading cause of injury-related death for women in the workplace.
  • 60% of major employers said disgruntled employees had threatened to assault or kill senior managers in the last year.

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. 

“A business security system is too expensive.

We don’t have it in the budget!”
