Surveillance

If you make it obvious that someone is watching, burglars are less likely to think they will be able to get away with breaking into your business. You can do this through different types of surveillance methods.

Formal

Examples of formal surveillance would be:

Informal and Natural Surveillance

Examples of informal and natural surveillance would be:

  • Employees, neighbors, and people going about their everyday activities
  • If your business is visible to the neighbors, they can provide surveillance
  • A well-maintained area so there is an unobstructed view of your business from the surrounding area

REMEMBER: It is important to have the street address clearly marked and visible, so that if there is a problem the location can easily be easily identified.
