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 constriction 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 windows 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.
These signs should remain posted in various locations on the property as well. With the
addition of the child care center, this becomes especially important to safeguard the
children that will be on the property.
I would also suggest that a security survey of the facility be conducted after construction,
but prior to any children coming onto the property. The Crime Prevention Unit (425-430-
7521 or 430-7520) offers this service, for free.
