The right approach for burglary prevention

The Dutch National Centre for Prevention (NCP) offers information that can assist you with the drafting up of a plan for burglary prevention. They advise that you pay particular attention to the following five points:

organisational measures
Security begins and ends with organisation measures. You can store away your valuable items in a vault, but it will have little or no effect if you leave the keys lying around for everyone to see. With organisation measures you should therefore not only be thinking of key management, but also of optimal lighting.

exterior of the building
The outside of the building forms the first barrier for the thief. All easily accessible windows and doors, should be protected by means of security locks and locking systems. However, a thief usually uses other weak points such as poorly constructed doors, an attic window, a sky-light, or insufficiently protected glass. Kolsteeg Security is a fully recognized security company that can provide creative solutions for all your security problems.

expert installation
The Dutch Stichting Kwaliteitsborging Preventie certified specialist technical prevention security business, such as Kolsteeg Security, knows exactly what has to be done for your business to provide optimal and expert security against theft. When all the relevant prevention measures have been effected, the security firm will give you a certificate from the Stichting Kwaliteitsborging Preventie. With this certificate you will know that all the necessary steps have been taken as advised by the authorities and insurance companies.

electric alarm systems
For the higher risk categories a burglar alarm system is an imperative addition to the constructional and organisational measures. The design and placing of an effective and high quality alarm system should be undertaken by a security specialist. A service contract is an important factor for the smooth running of your alarm system. On the NCP website you will find a list of recognized security businesses.

burglary proof compartment
By placing the most valuable and marketable goods in a burglary proof compartment, you are creating an extra barrier for the thief. In combination with an alarm system, the compartment gives in most cases an optimal security. In this case it is acceptable that the exterior of the building is secured to a lesser degree. Of course, it is important that the compartment itself is adequately protected is against theft.
