We know that no two businesses' security needs are identical. At Genesis we offer solutions that will be tailored to meet the specific needs of the commercial and industrial sectors.
Let us get to know your business and your security concerns. We'll draw from our broad range of security and technical knowledge to develop the best security plan for you. Site guards, guard touring systems (GTS), mobile patrols, operational support, video surveillance and digital recording/storage, electronic access control, and full-facility alarm monitoring are just some of the business security solutions that we can implement into your security plan.
Commercial
Theft in the commercial sector costs millions of dollars every year, and the black market demand for computer equipment, software, and telephone systems has never been greater. In addition to this concern, business owners and managers must also give consideration to reducing other liabilities including internal theft and inventory shrinkage caused by dishonest employees and vendors.
Fortunately, there are many security measures Genesis can help you with to prevent these losses.
Before we look at what we can do for you, begin with your own business security policies, and take some practical steps to help secure your organization. Check our list of Safe Business Tips for some proactive steps you can take right now to become more secure while we work with you on implementing a full security plan for your business and premises.
Once we visit your business and establish a clear understanding of what's necessary to secure it, we will sit down with you and present our security plan. This plan will include any number of security measures ranging from static guards, loss prevention officers, patrol services, monitored alarm systems, alarm response guards, CCTV, and more.
Industrial Security
Running a construction site is a very demanding job, and we have found that crime prevention is often not seen as a first priority. Yet the losses from theft suffered by the construction industry each year is estimated in the millions.
Construction sites are easy targets for thieves. Large open areas, poor fencing, bad or no lighting, and readily accessible building materials and tools all contribute to this. Worst of all when theft does occur the loss of time to replace stolen goods costs money, let alone the items themselves. This can be crippling for a site.
Therefore a good security plan and well trained guards are a must, and that is where we can help you best. Protecting your site will be our number one priority.
