To implement an effective security system, businesses must understand what burglars want to steal and how they are operating. This is constantly changing. For example, until recently cigarettes were a major target in Canada. High government taxes on the product led to a black market demand, and cigarette burglaries became a real problem. When the taxes were dropped, the problem disappeared.
Threat assessments are regional and can change quickly.
Good security managers should work closely with their local police departments. By identifying changing threats and criminal practices security professionals can modify their security systems to meet the latest threat of burglary.
