How To Shutdown Safely
Many firms choose to shut down over the holidays for many reasons (Hanukkah, Christmas, Eid, Easter, Chinese New Year, Summer holidays and many more!)
Shutdowns can mean many sites are susceptible to unauthorised access on the premises, theft of plant & machinery, retail stock, violence and even arson attacks. Skeleton staff may be subjected to verbal and physical attacks, also.
We have written at length about the upsurge in crime over the last 12 months, in both industrial and retail. Shoplifting and violence against staff has doubled. Many blame reports that police will not respond to thefts of less than £200 in retail and, consequently, criminals are taking goods less than this amount and literally walking out of stores.
In industrial settings, without a URN, getting an immediate police response to illegal trespass simply will not happen. Many of these criminals return to the same stores and sites knowing that the staff cannot prevent them. In fact, many criminals do not even fear detection and identification on electronic security. The rise in carpark crime is very stressful. Customers have paid for their goods and criminals are attacking them on their way to or as they get into their vehicles.
With news headlines reporting doom and gloom about increases in wholesale & retail crime, emotional wellbeing of staff, lack of a police response and physical & verbal incidents, MPS has some positive news!
Nothing Protects Better Than our Canine Units!
Electronic security works best when linked to a manned canine service.
In experienced hands, it’s the ultimate formidable force and it really works. We always train with the best to maintain our elite canine section.
MPS is the leading UK retail vehicle specialist security provider, designing, installing, and monitoring systems across the UK. When the working dogs retire from active duty, they stay with us. Dogs are never just for Christmas!
We have a wide range of options to reduce in-store and carpark crime. Using an experienced crew across multiple sites, crime dropped dramatically, shrinkage declined, sales revenue increased, and staff felt far safer! Using a combination of experienced ex-service officer security guards and highly trained guard dogs along with the latest electronic security, MPS managed to achieve:
Zero Staff Assaults.
On just one of many similar wholesaler sites, MPS reduced carpark crime by approx. £1.2m in six years.
Reduced Shoplifting/Shrinkage
The Watchman
Often, you find many areas on a site that can’t be covered by wired CCTV security due to power restrictions. During Winter and through heavy storm/bad weather events, power outages can mean sites are left unmonitored and insecure. So how can you reliably monitor your site over the holiday period?
The Watchman is the answer! These rapid-deployment devices use battery and solar power with optical cameras, 30-day 24/7 recording, and more. The cameras, activated by motion, send alarms straight to our monitoring station. Customers can also view, monitor and playback events through their web portal or app in seconds.
Each Watchman sends sound back to the monitoring station, and speakers to communicate with whoever is detected. Audio challenges provide an excellent method to discourage potential criminal activity. They differ from many rapid deployment towers due to their superior camera quality, robustness and because a live monitoring station operator is speaking to, whilst looking at, the person on site. The event is recorded, and the site may have opted for a police URN to ensure an immediate response. The Watchman has many features:
Complete Off Grid Security
24/7 Remote Monitoring NSI Gold
Bs 8418 Cat 2 Monitoring Station
Records 24hrs for 30 Days
