Holiday Security in Tampa

ESS Global Corp provides holiday security in Tampa because for business owners, the holiday season brings security concerns for every business. The significant increase in shoppers does wonders for your bottom line and generates brand awareness that can last into the new year. But there is a dark backside to the holidays, because with these benefits comes the need to hire additional staff members as well as additional security.

“The holidays are an attractive time for criminal activities,” according to Theo Billiris at ESS Global. “Thieves take full advantage of busy stores and distracted employees to steal. Retailers need to know that this is the time of year where they face a much bigger threat from professional and semi-professional thieves. The holiday shopping season is when organized retail crime flourishes. Worse, this time of year, the average amount stolen per incident, in much higher than ‘normal’ loss throughout the year.”

The Holiday Season is when your store is the busiest, the your store associates are the most distracted, your fitting rooms are the most unorganized, the crowd is the more agitated and the time of year police are the busiest. All of this amounts to one of the most hectic and dangerous environments a store owner will ever see, at least until next year.

This holiday season as your store begins to fill up, dishonest shoppers and untrustworthy seasonal employees will see it as a more appealing place to take what they’d like without stopping to pay the bill. According to reports by Business News Daily, U.S. retailers are expected to lose over $9 billion dollars from crime this holiday season, mostly from employee theft and shoplifting.
U.S. retailers will lose $4.7 billion through employee theft through October to December, $3.8 billion though shoplifting and $400 million through vendor and distribution, according to a new study by the Center for Retail Research, far surpassing any other quarter. The majority of the losses occur from Thanksgiving to the end of the year.

The losses will represent a 4 percent increase over the same period last year.

Black Friday Store Security in Tampa

Black Friday Store Security in Tampa
Black Friday is the far and away the biggest shopping day of the year, with sales from brick and mortar establishments totaling $15 billion on Black Friday alone in 2017. For retailers in Tampa, you have the extra challenge of earlier opening times, crowd control, frustrated shoppers, and a long list of potential problems; shoplifting, employee theft, trampling, brawls, customer confrontations and more. These issues are a headache that will eat away at your profit margins. Even worse, a major incident on your premises can lead to a lengthy legal battle and financial trouble long after the holidays are nothing but a bad memory.

Black Friday is the day in which your store floor is the busiest, the day your store associates are the most distracted, the day your fitting rooms are the most unorganized, the day the crowd is the most agitated and the police are the busiest. All of this amounts to one of the most hectic and dangerous environments a store owner will ever see.
ESS Global Corp has been providing Black Friday store security in Tampa for all types of merchants, both small businesses and the national chains. Here are some of the major challenges we help you overcome.
Customer Shoplifting and Employee Shrinkage – With these increased massive crowds, stores of every kind are much more vulnerable to theft, especially in light of your staff being overstretched trying to provide service to so many people. Sadly, statistics show that employee theft is more active during the holidays as well. While regular employees may be loyal, you have seasonal help that also knows that come January, they won’t be collecting a paycheck anyways. Employee theft skyrockets because there is so much activity for store owners, managers and supervisors to keep tabs on. While a security presence doesn’t guarantee that your Black Friday sales will be completely free of all shoplifting and shrinkage, a visible security force certainly helps deter unwanted activity.
Customer Safety and Crowd Control – Fact: the majority of deaths and injuries incurred on Black Friday is either due to folks trampled in stampedes or affected by pepper spray. Simply dealing with the crowds on Black Friday is challenging. In addition, controlling the biggest crowd of shoppers all year, an increased Black Friday security presence can help to ensure the safety and security of your customers.

Even before the horrific events in Texas, more people have been killed on church property through this past summer, than were killed all of 2016. Update – Now with Pittsburgh, we are ahead of all of 2017.
The sad truth is that church violence is becoming more common.

The Experts in Church Security in Florida – ESS Global

For pastors, priests, rabbis, religious leaders, teachers, and their staff members, security and safety should be on top of their minds. Churches, and other houses of worship face a unique set of security challenges and are all subject to crime and violence. Church Security and Safety should be a priority in all Churches and Houses of Worship. If not, security plans and improvements will not be made, leading to vulnerability, and when you least expect it, an event occurs.
While there is no assurance that a violent episode in church can be avoided, you can be prepared for the possibility of an incident occurring and controlling it with the addition of qualified, professional security personnel from ESS Global Corp.
ESS Global Corp also offers church security training. How effective is our faith based church security training? On August 3, 2015, ESS Global Corp received a letter from Brandon White, Executive Pastor at Without Walls International Church in Tampa.
Pastor White summed up both the need and the completeness of our services.

“As a large church in the Tampa Bay community, the safety and security of the attending congregation is held in the highest regards, which should never be marginalized as a second thought. One of the greatest aspects of the training was the full assurance of complete understanding before introducing any new concepts, terminology, or practical application revealed the desire your team has to help others in achieving their goals. In addition, you have gone above and beyond by offering your services for future follow up sessions to ensure proper implementation, which is a genuine characteristic of both your integrity and ethical uprightness.”

By taking responsibility for the safety of your church, you will have done the best thing possible to reduce risk.

Halloween Safety Tips 2018

Halloween Safety Tips 2018 – ESS Global, a safety consulting firm has some important Halloween safety tips in 2018.

Halloween Safety Tips 2018

Halloween Safety Tips 2018
Halloween brings parties, fun and sweets to children, but those little ghouls and goblins are not the only things to be afraid about on Halloween. Accidents and mishaps increase dramatically on Halloween night.
For instance, children are more than twice as likely to be struck and killed by a car on Halloween than any other day of the year.

Halloween Safety Tips 2018 – Trick or Treating

Plan your route in advance – stick to areas both you and your children are familiar with. Keep your head on a swivel.
Stay well lit – carry glow sticks and flashlights. Be sure you can see your path. Consider reflective tape. Be sure you can be seen by motorists.
Don’t trip up – Make sure costumes don’t touch the ground. Long costumes that drag on the ground can be dangerous, especially at night.
Avoid masks that impede sight!
Stay in groups – bring friends, stay in groups and this bears repeating – never send younger children out alone.
Be sure children do not approach any vehicle, occupied or not, unless you are with them.
Put your cell phones down and keep your heads up. Walk, don’t run. Use crosswalks and traffic signals.
Watch out for open flames in those jack-o-lanterns sitting on porches.
Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
Always walk younger children all the way to the door to receive treats, and…
Never allow your children to enter the home of a stranger.

And it’s not just taking you kids out for some fun at twilight, you must be vigilant all day. The children are all wound up just walking home from school, even walking to school. Don’t be distracted while driving. Stay focused.

Halloween Safety Tips 2018 – Driving

Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and can move in unpredictable ways.
Enter and exit driveways slowly and carefully.
Take extra time to look for children at intersections.
Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic.
Turn your headlights on earlier in the day.
It’s a popular night for adult parties – While no night during the year is good for drinking and driving, this is especially true tonight!

Halloween Safety Tips 2018 – Around the House

Be smart about decorations placement – And don’t overload electrical outlets.
Set up those spooky candles with care – Try to use battery operated candles as pets and children can knock things over. And have a fire extinguisher handy.
Make your doorway safe – Make sure that driveways and walkways are cleaned up and well maintained. Make sure everything is well lit.

Halloween Safety Tips 2018 – Adult Parties – Safety Tips for Women

Don’t let your guard down. Halloween is not an excuse to throw caution to the wind. Keep an eye on your belongings (that includes your drink!)
Dress appropriately. We love sexy Halloween costumes, but you don’t want to attract unwanted attention. Cover up as you go to and from parties, and make sure you’re able to move easily in your costume (in case you need to make a quick getaway). Which leads us to…
Stay in groups. You may be dressed like Wonder Woman, but that doesn’t mean you have superhero powers. Stick with your friends to prevent being in alone in an unsafe situation and check in with one another at the end of the night to make sure you all get home safe and sound.
Have a safety net. If you find yourself separated from friends in unfamiliar territory (it’s a night to stay on the beaten path) have a back-up plan, or call a trusted friend. If you feel unsafe for any reason – keep your phone handy and don’t be afraid to call 911 if a threatening situation develops.

By taking the time to plan ahead and using these Halloween safety tips, you can ensure you and your children, as well as others, have a happy, healthy, and safe Halloween.
