Distribution centers are gold mines to robbers, no matter the product.

Cannabis Centers In the Bullseye. Take the booming cannabis industry: it’s an all-cash business, which makes it a prime target for criminals.

Recently, at a Santa Rosa, California facility, two armed robbers dressed as police officers forced employees at gunpoint to open the vault. They walked away with over $100,000 in cash.

Meanwhile, crooked employees at a Nordstrom distribution center in Ontario, California managed to steal over $200,000 worth of clothing and expensive watches and then auction the items online.

Security Cameras Are Not Enough. Security cameras alone aren’t cutting it anymore. They may catch a criminal in the act, but if there isn’t a physical security presence onsite to respond immediately, the crooks are often long gone before anything can be done. So what can you do?

The key is to stay one step ahead of the thieves.

At top distribution center security guard service companies such as Access Control Security, highly trained security guards are your first line of defense and a reliable point of contact. Security cameras are monitored from a dispatch center in real time while guards onsite make sure the distribution facility is secure around the clock. If suspicious activity is caught on camera, security guards are alerted to take immediate action.

Distribution center security guards protect honest employees while ensuring that the center is not the victim of internal or external theft.
