Dark Days Offensive

The days are getting shorter and it’s getting dark earlier. This does, however, increase the risks to your business. Is your security ready for the darker months?

The Dark Days Offensive (DDO) has kicked off again! And no, this isn’t about Black Friday deals. It’s about something much more important: preventing burglaries, robberies and unsafe situations in the workplace.

It is particularly important to be extra vigilant during the darker months. As a shopkeeper or business owner, you want not only to protect your premises and property, but also to ensure the safety of your staff.

These measures will help you minimise the risks:

💡 Good lighting. Avoid dark spots around and inside your premises.

💡 Smart lighting. Use timers and motion sensors to simulate occupancy.

💡 Lock up securely. Check your locks and fittings regularly and agree clear procedures for opening and closing the premises.

💡 Staff safety. Ensure there are clear emergency procedures in place and let staff know how they can get help quickly.

💡 Tailor-made access control. Decide who has access to your premises and when.

💡 CCTV. Improve visibility in your shop, office or business premises and take a preventative approach to creating a safer environment.

💡 Alarm systems and robbery protection. Make sure it’s easy to raise the alarm when every second counts.

Safety starts with prevention.

At LARCOZ, we help businesses and entrepreneurs with bespoke security solutions, ranging from burglary and CCTV security to access control and robbery protection.

Don’t wait for something to happen. Make sure your business and your staff are well protected this winter.
