Commercial Business/Corporate Offices
Businesses and offices can be targets for theft, unlawful entry, kidnapping, bombings, forcible occupation and sabotage.  The goal of any security program is to assist in preventing these types of incidents through barriers, both physical and psychological limiting any disruption of business continuity.  Most often these threats surface as intrusions and theft.  Good physical security practices and use of an intrusion alarm reduce the risk of these types of incidents.

Workplace violence is a growing concern, often overflowing from the home or personal lives of an employee.  It is important not to overlook the reception and guest management functions.  As systems become more IP centric, you can make voice, video, and data available to anyone who needs it in real time, regardless of where people are located.   

 

Retail
Every retailer faces a unique set of security challenges.  There is no single security system or “one size fits all” approach.  We must examine the threats to a specific operation to determine the best course of action. 

Retail security starts with an intrusion alarm system providing dedicated security responses for specific areas of each site:

• Front entrance and the point of sale
• Sales floor, high value goods
• Emergency exits
• Back office area including warehouse
• Personnel entrance and utilities
• Cash room and technical rooms

The various technologies provide tools to help protect the operator and merchandise from both internal and external threats.  Opening and Closing schedules provide notification of events outside your defined boundaries.  These messages can come today in the form of phone, SMS text and email notifications.  Today, we can include a video clip from the premises as well.  Systems can be accessed through a standard browser interface or mobile phone putting control and accountability back into your hands.

According to CSOonline.com desperate people impacted by the recession resorted to retail theft in greater numbers in 2009.  The highest shrink rates were in apparel, clothing and fashion and accessories and the auto parts, hardware and building materials industry. Cosmetics, perfume, beauty supply and pharmacy-related business were third on the list.  The lowest rates were in liquor, wine, beer/off-license retail establishments.

Loss Prevention Programs are aimed at preventing employee theft, shoplifting and organized retail crime rings during store operations.  Training for clerks and floor personnel is imperative to recognize these behaviors in customers and visitors.       

Floyd offers a large variety of these systems to meet almost any need.
