| Business Security |
Unfortunately, every business must deal with some type of safety or security issue pertaining to its employees and
it’s customers. Incidents can range from a simple theft to extreme violence.
The root causes of these incidents may vary: an employee’s personal problem, a customer’s anger, or even a disgruntled
supervisor. Whatever the cause, the normal and safe operation of your business can be jeopardized.
What actions can you take, as a business owner, manager or employee, to reduce your risk? The following Crime
Prevention programs are offered to businesses as In-Service Training Initiatives for both employers and employees.
Contact the Crime Prevention Officer at 386.424.2440 and inquire as to the availability of FREE seminars, such as
the following, that can help enhance the safety and security of your place of business.
BANK ROBBERY SURVIVAL
Too often bank employees are needlessly killed or injured because they did not know what to do or how to react
during a robbery. They may have had training at one time, but forgot or were too excited to remember what to do.
Take time to re-train your employees.
This type of interactive seminar will provide employees and managers with practical safety information on how to
survive a robbery, protect the crime scene, and aid law enforcement in describing the suspect.
CRIME PREVENTION IN THE WORK PLACE
Are you an "Easy Target" at work? This seminar will show employees ways they can help prevent crimes from
being perpetrated on themselves, co-workers and customers. Learn the "Common Problem Areas" in the business place
and how to protect you and your property at work.
DRUG & ALCOHOL ABUSE IN THE WORK PLACE
Two-thirds of current drug users are employed and their behavior has a direct impact on their co-workers.
Many call this a victim-less crime because they think drugs and alcohol affect only the user. WRONG!
We all pay the price for substance abuse and nowhere is this more apparent than at the workplace. Learn why this
problem has become so important to your safety at work and how it can affect you, both directly and indirectly.
EMPLOYEES WITH DRUG DEPENDENT CHILDREN
How much job productivity is lost every day by an employee distracted with personal issues? Drug abuse by a family
member can affect the employee’s attention to detail, thereby creating serious concerns for the employer and
fellow co-workers.
INTERNAL THEFTS
Every business suffers losses from internal thefts. The FBI estimates businesses will lose over $1 trillion in
2002. It is also estimated 40-50 customers shoplifting can equal the annual loss caused by one dishonest employee.
Learn ways to detect thefts and curb a dishonest employee.
ROBBERY DETERRENCE FOR CONVENIENCE STORES
This seminar will fulfill the requirements of robbery deterrence and safety training for employees, as defined
under Florida’s Convenience Business Security Act of 1992. Learn practical ways to deter robberies and thefts in
your store, what to observe and how to report suspicious activity.
UNDERSTANDING SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS
Every business must deal with elderly persons or the disabled. Dealing with older citizens can be especially
different than dealing with healthy young adults because of hearing loss, eyesight or physical or even mental
disabilities.
This program is designed to enhance awareness of the special needs and concerns of elderly and/or disabled
individuals. It provides an opportunity for employees to improve their communication skills with an elderly/disabled
person while gaining a better understanding of the laws, crimes and resources pertaining to this population. This
can be beneficial to employees on both a personal and professional level.
VIOLENCE IN THE WORK PLACE
Many work places are at risk for violence and, unfortunately, yours may be one. Your local law enforcement is
committed to preventing workplace violence and ensuring a safe work environment for all employees.
Learn the warning signs of a potential threat and steps you can take to reduce the security threat for you and your
co-workers.
Understand how Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles can help reduce the chances of
your employees and customers from becoming victims of crime.
Do you have a "Safe Room?" This is a room with a solid core door that can be locked from the inside, giving you
and your co-workers a safe haven in the event of an emergency. It should also have a phone readily available to
call 911.
WOMEN’S SAFETY
A seminar such as this is designed to help women develop an awareness of their surroundings while at home, work or
play.
Learn valuable crime prevention tips, pro and con, of personal safety devices. Know what your options are if
threatened with assault and what to do if assaulted.
COMMERCIAL SECURITY CHECK
Is your business vulnerable to crime because of its physical layout? A trained Crime Prevention Practitioner
can make a FREE and CONFIDENTIAL Security Check of your facility and grounds. Contact the Crime Prevention
Officer at 386.424.2440 and arrange for a security check.
