Crime prevention tips

• Make daily bank deposits, and vary your time and routes to and from the bank
• Check daily cash register receipts against your deposits to help prevent the possibility of employee dishonesty
• Immediately mark any checks received as “For Deposit Only”

• Keep any rear doors locked from the outside at all times by installing panic locks. Padlocks should not be used to lock doors.
• Keep a safe on site to store small amounts of cash, important documents or other valuable items. Change the safe’s combination periodically.
• Consider installing security cameras throughout the property. All entranceways and cashier areas should be kept under surveillance.

• Conduct background checks on applicants
• Train employees on safe opening and closing procedures
• Train employees on what they should do in case of robbery. Make it clear they should never endanger themselves by trying to protect money, property or other valuable items.
