Every business owner, manager and employee plays a part in making businesses safe. Here are some things you can do to help prevent robbery:
# Have at least two employees open and close the business.
# Do not release personal information to strangers.
# Keep purses and personal valuables locked in desks or lockers.
# Install a robbery alarm.
# Place a surveillance camera behind the cash register facing the front counter. Replace videotapes regularly.
# Vary times and routes of travel for bank deposits.
# Don't use marked "moneybags" that make it obvious to would-be robbers you are carrying money for deposit.
# Keep a low balance in the cash register.
# Place excess money in a safe or deposit it as soon as possible.
# Cooperate with the robber for your own safety and the safety of others. Comply with a robber's demands. Remain calm and think clearly. Make mental notes of the robber's physical description and other observations important to law enforcement officers.
# If you have a silent alarm and can reach it without being noticed, use it. Otherwise, wait until the robber leaves.
# Be careful, most robbers are just as nervous as you are.

I feel most places should have a very large guard dog on hand at night. Whether he's kept in a back room or brought with the closing manager, no robber is gonna try something with a vicious K-9 on duty!
