CRIME PRVENTION & SAFETY TIPS
Robbery Prevention
• Handle cash carefully. Avoid making your business a tempting target for robbers. Keep the amount of cash in registers low. Remove and place all large bills in your “money safe” as soon as possible. If a customer tries to pay with a large bill, politely ask if he or she has a smaller one. Explain that you keep very little cash on hand;
• Use only one register at night. Leave other registers empty and open. Tilt the register drawer to show there is no money in it;
• Leave blinds and drapes open when your business is closed. This allows police officers to visually inspect the inside of your business. It also makes it more difficult for criminals to conceal themselves and their criminal activities;
• If your business is robbed put your safety first. Don’t resist an armed robber. Your personal safety is more important than money or merchandise;
