Last night, I went to Citizens Bank Park to see the Phillies play the Atlanta Braves. Before the game, there was a bomb threat which led to the discovery of a suspicious looking package sealed with duct tape. The bomb squad was called in, & they detonated the package - only to find that they had just blown up a bunch of hot dogs. After I stopped laughing, I remembered seeing a Business Security Program put on by the New Castle County police here in Delaware on the subject of security in the work place.
The police officer who gave the talk did a great job, and there were a lot of things brought up that most business owners don't usually think about. It was worthwhile to step back from the day to day business activities to learn about keeping your business and your employees safe.
The County police also conduct Business Security Surveys designed to point out security risks or hazards. A physical survey of your site is conducted, and recommendations are offered on ways to eliminate problem areas.
I would recommend the Business Security Program and the Business Security Survey to every business owner. To schedule a program, call the Community Services Unit at (302) 395-8050.
