These scenarios outline the importance of making sure you have protection in place:
Scenario 1
A monitoring company registered an alarm activation in a factory, however, they failed to advise the proprietor. Instead they despatch a security guard to investigate. After inspection the security guard advised that the premises were secured and cancelled the alarm activation. However, there was evidence after the event that the front door had not been secured, which allowed the burglars to re-enter and remove stock and electronic equipment.
Scenario 2
The gate of a vehicle holding yard was not properly locked after a patrol left the premises, which resulted in the theft of three expensive motor vehicles between patrol visits.
Scenario 3
An alarm was activated in a warehouse and the monitoring company followed procedure and advised the client's manager by voicemail, as they could not make direct contact. The monitoring company failed to contact the two alternate nominated staff or advise the police - as the contract required. In addition, they failed to advise the client of two more registers within the hour, resulting in the theft of a large amount of electronic equipment.
