Summertime evokes high expectations due to the carefreeness associated with hot weather and vacation periods. After all, how many song lyrics have phrases such as “summer smiles,” “summer madness,” or “summer fever”? A few months of that mindset, and you’re bound to have a good time, outdoors or in, whether staying local or traveling. Summer, it seems, is all about enticement en masse.
But when you run a business during the summer, it’s seller beware, because along with the good times comes an elevated need for security. For instance, contrary to popular thought, burglaries are more common during sunlight. Moveover, violence increases as temperatures rise. So along with the increased revenue comes the need to protect your business or organization better than at most other times of the year. Summer equals “watch out.”
Here are some venues that commonly hire additional private security during the summer.
- Transportation: Airports, Train Stations, Central Bus Stations
- Public Beaches
- Outdoor concerts and gatherings
- Folk festivals
- Baseball stadiums
- Fourth of July events
- Museums
- Historical monuments
- National sites
- Wedding Halls
- Amusement Parks
- Swimming Pools
- Water Parks
- Summer Camps
- Cruise Ships
Business owners, in the summertime, it’s all about people paying to enjoy themselves. By providing robust security, you allow your customers to have a better time because, hopefully, any dangers will be alleviated. Consider the risks of lack of security against the payoffs of your summer ventures, as well as your reputation as a summer venue. Call ISSM for more information on private security during the summertime.
