Many robberies could be prevented through careful cash handling. A business can take some simple preventative measures to reduce the risk of being a robbery victim.
Cash Handling
- Businesses are vulnerable during opening and closing because there are fewer employees and customers around, and cash is often handled at these times.
- Only handle cash when the store is closed and the doors are locked.
- Maintain as little cash on site as possible and make frequent bank deposits.
- Hang signs saying that there is little cash in the register.
- Encourage non-cash transactions. If customers use credit, there is less cash around.
- Have a drop safe to deposit large bills so they are not in the cash register.
- Routines can be observed by would be robbers, so do not make cash handling or bank deposits part of a routine.
