CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Theft from construction sites is one of the most common reported crimes in the city. To
protect materials and equipment it is recommended that all materials and tools be locked
up when not in use. The site will need security lighting and any construction trailer
should be completely fenced in with portable chain -link fencing. The fence will provide
both a physical and psychological barrier to any prospective thief and will demonstrate
that this area is private property. Construction trailers should be kept locked when not in
use, and should also have a heavy-duty deadbolt installed with no less then a 1-1/2"
throw when bolted. Glass w indow•s in the trailer should be shatter -resistant.
I also recommend the business post the appropriate "No Trespassing" signs on the
property while it's under construction (flier attached). This will aid police in making
arrests on the property after hours if suspects are observed vandalizing or stealing
building materials.
COMPLETED BUILDING
It's important to direct any and all traffic into the main front entrance and should be
monitored during all hours of business. This will provide the building the control it will
need to keep track of the comings and goings of all visitors. The main building and any
offices should have an alarm system installed to be in effect after business hours. This
would include any loading docks. Clue to the type of product that will be stored at this
facility (electronic equipment) the probability for burglary is high.
Landscaping around the exterior of the building should not be too dense or high_ It is
important to allow visibility. Too much landscaping will give the building the look ofa
fortress and possibly give a burglary sufficient coverage to break into the facility,
especially during the hours of darkness.
