Welcome to our video with loss prevention expert David Parkinson
Although we saw a decline in theft (down by 43%) and robbery (down by 47%) between April and June 2020, compared to 2019, we anticipate losses will creep back up as current pandemic restrictions start to ease. So now is the time for your high-net-worth clients to get prepared and review their security arrangements.
In this video, David Parkinson outlines the theft and robbery landscape and how to take an integrated approach to security design.
Summary of a multi-layered approach to security design:
- Targets – principal properties, outbuildings, vehicles.
- Physical prevention – measures designed to keep thieves out, including perimeter protection, door and window locks, safes, and cabinets. Design security from the perimeter inwards to deter and delay thieves from reaching target areas.
- Detection – in the event physical protections are overcome using electronic security measures.
The video also explores:
- The implications of the new digital fibre telephone network, now being rolled out, on the performance of alarm transmission systems.
- Cyber-crime; virtual assets shouldn’t be overlooked when it comes to a security review.
Watch David’s video to find out what your high-net-worth clients can do to protect themselves so you can advise them on what steps they can take.
