So we use the data to give us the tools to plan security for the new stores in terms of what systems we need to have in place prior to store opening, and to upgrade what we need for the current stores. Our property selectors are not discouraged from a site just because it receives a high score. The classification determines how we allocate our security resources to that store. When we're doing a security survey for a client, we order a CAP assessment to give us a complete picture of a client's location. Once we understand the crime picture, we then base our security recommendations on the client's exposure and risk.
Clients ultimately have to make their own business decisions.
