Robbery Prevention at Work

• Keep windows and doors free of signs or displays which may block the view of citizens or police who may be driving/ walking by.  
  
• Advertise your security alarm system with signs in visible locations. 
  
• Use video camera surveillance and make it well known. 
  
• Avoid working alone.  If you must work alone, turn on a TV or radio so robbers will think there is someone in the business with you.
  
• Keep small amounts of cash in your cash drawers and make regular drops into a safe. 
  
• Use safes that require a secondary key to open and advertise this by placing signs in conspicuous places. 
  
• Vary the schedule and route you take to make daily deposits at your bank. 
  
• Make deposits as often as possible and keep only the amount of cash you need for operating purposes at your business.  
  
• Be on the lookout for "customers" who seem to be acting suspicious or loitering.  Call police and have them checked-out. 
  
• Keep the side and back doors locked.  Have employees use the main entrance if possible. 
  
• Two people should be on hand at the time the store is opened and closed.
