by MyNTX on Dec 26, 2008 at 12:48 PM Filed in Business Security | Commercial Security | Small Business Security

 

Plano Business Security Company warns businesses to be extra careful during the holiday season.

We are seeing news reports daily of crimes involving businesses from petty theft to violent crime. 

The Washington Post and others are blaming the economy for the recent spike in shoplifting.  (See article excerpt below)

NTX Security is a Plano business Security company that encourages all retail business owners and managers to take 5 simple steps to help protect their business during and after the holiday season.

  1. Post a greeter at all entry / exits. This provides an extra element of customer service and reduces risk for shoplifting, especially if they check receipts vs. purchases.
  2. Have a clear face shot of all persons entering the building. This is accomplished by using a quality high resolution zoom varifocal camera.
  3. Direct traffic in and out of the store to reduce opportunity for grab and go crimes.
  4. Coach employees on what to look for, and more importantly, how to respond to a potential theft.
  5. Schedule your FREE Risk Evaluation with NTX Security today.

About 80 percent said organized retail crime had also jumped, and more than half said robberies and burglaries have risen, as well.

The spike in Plano crime has three key factors behind it: (1) DART expansion that creates crime clusters near each station; (2) more illegal immigrants moving into Plano rental properties; and (3) the felons who relocated to Plano after Hurricane Katrina.
