Many company’s make use of Asset Protection Security not only to protect their cash in transit or goods in transit but also in their retail shops or even on certain markets.
Many people have see the advantage of this and have actually not only opted for using them for their own businesses but have actually deterred criminals of doing their thing.
The most important of this Asset Protection Security companies deal with cash in transit and even though there are so many around the staff personal is so low because:
- MORAL IS LOW: it has been noted that cash in transit security officers moral is so low they have one of the highest absentee rates and actual inside job robberies ever.
- STAFF WAGES ARE THE WORSE: With the amount of work you do, and the amounts of cash you have to protect against the new type of criminal that shoots to kill nowadays, the wages these security guards get are just not worth it.
- WORKING CONDITIONS IS ONE OF THE WORSE WORLDWIDE:as mentioned above not only is it dangerous but hours are long with little or no breaks
- THE TRAINING COMPARED TO THE JOB IS NOT WORTH IT:With all the amount of cash to be protected as well as firearm training involved, the course offered to these security guards are so inferior , no wonder they will rather walk away than protect said cash.
- THE “IT’S NOT MY MONEY TRAIN OF THOUGHT”: with the bad wages, working conditions and other minor problems many security guards actually have that attitude that it is not their money and it is insured so they will rather walk away than to risk a gunfight that can claim either their partners or theirs.
But this being said, it is one of the most important services offered especially in the retail industry as since they have introduced the asset protection guard in retail stores, shoplifting, theft and even ardson has been on a daily decrease.
They not only monitor these criminal on fully surveillance cameras but they also work with the business owners with suggestions to make the place safer and less susceptible to theft, to use an example, to use as much mirrors as possible and arrange changing stalls in such a way you do not intrude on client privacy but you can still monitor what goes in and what doesn’t come out.
