There are many businesses today that do not invest much money into decent security systems to protect their assets or clients. The businesses mentioned shortly might surprise you; but these businesses, just like jewelry stores and banks, need to have moderate security systems in place. Most do not have ample security, which is rather shocking.
Small In-House Museums
Small museums are not as highly recognized as the larger museums, mainly because they lack large contributors, steady funding sources, and the ability to pay for large scale advertising. Therefore, they don’t have the donations to enable decent security systems. Some of these museums don’t have a security system in place at all. Security guards, bulletproof and shatterproof glass display boxes, and armed alarms would offer sufficient security for a majority of these museums.
Day Cares and Preschools
There probably aren’t many people out there who think about the relaxed security around day cares and preschools; Usually, the most security available is a small, flimsy chain link fence in the playground area. With the rates of child abductions soaring to record high numbers, the security for the youngest generation needs to be heightened. A high quality fencing system should be in place, with only qualified employees having permission to open the security gates via badges or passwords. This level of security would keep children safe in the hands of qualified childcare professionals.
Domestic Violence Shelters
Unfortunately, domestic violence shelters are at risk more now than ever. With information becoming available within seconds of a Google search, shelters are at a higher risk of having unwelcome visitors show up on their doorsteps. Some of those people are not mentally stable, and could harm victims who call the shelter home. These shelters should have an armed officer at all times, as well as sensitive security alarms and steel doors at every exit.
No one place or person is immune to crime, as anyone can become a victim when caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Tightened security is the only way to scare off criminals and provide the general public and business owners with peace of mind. Protecting investments can make the difference between a business going under or coming out unscathed by a chance crime; security systems really are a small price to pay for the best line of defense.
