Insecurity in the Shopping Malls and Centers.
Shopping malls host different types of businesses in it, which makes it vulnerable to security problems.
This should not be a call to worry, however, because we at SRCM, LLC, have identified security problems that businesses in the shopping malls and centers face.
Besides, we have come up with the solutions to the identified problems to ensure top-notch security in malls.
Some of them include:
Theft
Shoplifting of valuable goods is a common problem due to congestion. Due to lack of the necessary security measures, shoplifters are increasingly becoming a menace to many malls.
Also, the high number of vehicles in parking lots that are left unattended for long periods are vulnerable to theft.
To effectively curb this problem, you can install CCTV cameras, which will monitor the movement of people and vehicles in and out of the mall. This is because people tend to be more careful when they are aware that they are being monitored and can be easily traced.
Installing CCTV cameras can prove vital in monitoring the movement of people in and out of the shopping mall and deter theft.
Vandalism
The uncontrolled movement of people in the shopping malls and centers encourages property destruction, especially with the younger generation.
You should install CCTV cameras and increase security patrol to help reduce vandalism. In case of a mall event, try concentrating more on the high-risk areas to minimize any instances of vandalism
Property and Building Unauthorized Access
Idlers and criminals access shopping malls freely due to inadequate security checks. The numerous unmanned public entrances and exits act as major loopholes to allow unauthorized persons in the mall premises.
There is no standard or conventional rule to handle the unauthorized people, but you could deploy security guards to check all persons entering the shopping mall. Also, try adapting opening and closing routines in the shopping malls and centers.
Emergencies
Congestion in the shopping malls and centers give rise to uncontrolled emergencies like terrorism, fire outbreaks, and people fainting. Such emergencies may end up having you being held legally responsible for not taking the necessary security measures.
Ensure you have contacts for emergency rescue team who can respond immediately in case of emergency in the mall
