Preventing crimes of opportunity and securing your business
Part of owning a business is having security to deter crime from your doors. Yet criminals are privy to how we secure our businesses and will exploit holes in that security to commit burglary or robbery. These “crimes of opportunity” are often preventable, and by checking your security measures regularly can help further strengthen your business’s security.
Burglaries and robberies are two different yet similar crimes, and even go together in certain circumstances. Burglaries are non-violent property crime, which can include theft. Robberies are violent crimes against a person that include theft. For example, breaking into a business and stealing merchandise without interaction with another person is considered a burglary. However, if a person is threatened, harmed, or terrorized while the criminal also steals from the person, it is considered a robbery.
