Is Your Security Plan Lacking?

When you manage a commercial property, you have a lot to think about. One of the biggest concerns is the building’s security. A secure property can benefit you financially. When customers feel safe they are more likely to frequent your establishment and tenants are more likely to renew their leases.

Are your security measures the best they can be? If you are experiencing any of the following, it may be time to rethink your level of security.

1. Steadily Increasing Security Issues

Have you noticed an increase in criminal activity reports from business owners on the property? If these reports involve issues such as vandalism, loitering, and break-ins, you may have an issue with your on-site security guards. If you don’t already have guards on-site, now might be the time to reconsider.

2. Security Issues Are Isolated To Your Property

Speak with the managers of neighboring properties, have they experienced an increase in criminal activity? If they aren’t experiencing the same security issues, the problem likely lies with your security plan. Find out how they handle security issues, as you may want to implement some of these ideas on your property.  

3. You’re Looking For Something Different Than Your Current Security Program

Many property managers invest in a security program only to find out it isn’t exactly what they wanted it to be. Technologies advance, budgets change, and needs vary, so it is important that your security plan is staying current with your needs. Make a list of what you like about your current plan, and what you would like to change. Use these factors to find an option that works best for you.

4. You’re Handling Security Yourself

Security is extremely important and requires specific knowledge and skills. If you are trying to save money by handling security yourself, just know it will end up costing you in the long run. Professionals have the experience and the knowledge to design a plan that works for your property and keeps it as secure as possible.
