Warehouse owners face substantial losses from employee theft and outside criminal theft. Weak monitoring systems, poorly controlled entry points, and inadequate tracking records allow inventory to disappear without detection. A strong warehouse security system, including in-person and video surveillance, can reduce crime.

Physical Security Presence. On-site security guards are trained to notice out-of-the-ordinary behavior. Warehouses are busy places and employees are focused on doing their jobs, not on seeking out potential illegal activities. Security guards are the warehouse’s eyes and ears—making sure only authorized individuals are on the premises and have access to packages and other valuables.

Monitoring Employee Behavior. Employees are responsible for a good portion of warehouse theft. Companies need strict hiring practices, including background checks, and making sure multiple layers of product security are implemented. Security guards monitor product storage areas and loading sites to ensure unscrupulous employees are not stealing.

24/7 Security Camera Monitoring. Feeds from security cameras should be continuously monitored. Monitoring can be done off-site. When suspicious behavior occurs, onsite security is alerted for quick action.
