Pharmacies

Pharmacies are lucrative targets

Pharmacy burglaries are popular among criminals due to the high resale value of their stock. Expensive perfumes, branded goods, and various drugs are particularly attractive targets. These items can be sold quickly on the black market, making Pharmacies a lucrative target for thieves seeking valuable merchandise.

Stop robberies

With their branded goods and expensive drugs, pharmacies are often targeted by criminals. The inventory of a pharmacy is often seen as attractive, as it is easily resalable with high earnings. For these types of businesses, surveillance and alarms often aren’t enough to keep criminals away from the premises. These measures fall under the category of active security; however, most businesses could benefit from integrating a proactive solution into their security infrastructure.

 

Robberies during the day and burglaries at night can have a significant financial impact on a pharmacy and can also cause interruptions to the continuity of business operations. A robbery or burglary can mean that many of the needed drugs for customers are missing, and days can pass before a new batch arrives. If enough goods are stolen or any of the pharmacy’s interior is damaged, it can result in the complete closure of the store until everything is fixed.

 

Moreover, the risk of robberies during the day can make staff and customers feel unsafe if there aren’t any security measures in place that can stop the robber at the scene. Therefore, it is important to prioritize the security of the staff to ensure that they have a comfortable working environment where they can feel at ease, knowing how to handle an incident if it were to happen.

Investment in a PROTECT™ fog cannon

pharmacies

Some of the world’s largest pharmacy chains have made the decision to install PROTECT™ security fog to enhance their security measures against burglaries. By installing fog cannons in their stores, these chains have effectively deterred criminals, significantly reducing the incidence of break-ins and theft.

 

The investment in a PROTECT™ security fog system is justified by the substantial financial gains of preventing even a single burglary. The aftermath of a burglary can result in considerable losses. By having a PROTECT™ Fog Cannon, the expensive stock will be well protected with a proactive security measure that stops the criminal rather than solely alerting about it.

 

Moreover, damage to property can lead to operational downtime. Therefore, by implementing advanced security solutions like PROTECT™, pharmacy chains not only safeguard their assets but also ensure continuity of operations and mitigate financial risks associated with criminal activities. This ensures minimal interruption to the continuity of the business and ensures that the pharmacy has experienced little to no loss of drugs, allowing them to cater to their customers right away.

 

With a PROTECT™ Fog Cannon, staff can also feel safe knowing they have a way to protect themselves in case of a robbery. Our fog cannons can be activated with a panic button solution, which means the staff can assess the situation and activate the fog when they don’t feel safe.
