  Crime

  The changing face of crime demands constant vigilance in corporate security.  
   
In a professional environment, crime can take many forms. From violent acts to sexual harassment, and from technical breaches to embezzlement, companies must consider many risks that can potentially harm people, property, and profits.

Understanding crime trends
The best-prepared organizations are those that anticipate potential problems and develop a proactive defense. When crime rates rise, businesses must take immediate action. In times of less frequent incidents, the need for vigilance must be equally emphasized, as complacency creates vulnerabilities.

Guardsmark has been analyzing crime trends for nearly four decades. We have taken a leadership role in anticipation of crime trends and contingency planning. In addition to developing proactive protection programs, we have extensive experience working with corporations, task forces and policy makers to understand the nature and scope of—and solutions to—all forms of lawlessness.

A wide spectrum of risks
Our safety and loss prevention expertise spans key concerns such as:
  • Information technology breaches and cybercrime
  • Embezzlement
  • Workplace drug abuse
  • Robbery and theft
  • Vandalism
  • Trespassing
  • Breaking and entering
  • Intimidation, threats, and assaults
  • Fraud
A strategic and reliable defense
Weighed against the potentially staggering expenses of loss, liability, and productivity reduction, every security improvement is an investment in lowering operational costs.

Prevention requires knowledge of all potential vulnerabilities; Guardsmark protects clients by anticipating change, discerning problems, and seizing opportunities.

Our security professionals help clients develop:
  • Crime reduction strategies
  • Health and safety programs
  • Safety and security assessments
  • Local crime awareness
  • Access control systems and processes
And—through continual learning and development efforts that span classroom, audiovisual, interactive CD-ROM, and printed instruction—we’re able to provide a reliable security force that is equipped to avert a wide range of crimes.
   
  Creating crime-free environments  
Security officers must help ensure the safety of all persons and property involved in a company’s daily business operation. Visitors, employees, and contractors must be regarded with respect—as well as watchfulness.

Understand our promise of the best people.
For years, Guardsmark has shared crime prevention insight through publications such as The Lipman Report® and the highly acclaimed book How to Protect Yourself from Crime®, in its fourth edition.
