There were eight (8) Retail Frauds from various retail establishments in the city in addition to these other frauds.

Crime Prevention Tip

• If possible two or more employees should open stores.
• The use of a remote panic alarm is a good idea for retail establishments.
• Make sure your alarm is coded correctly to show the difference between a burglary alarm and a hold-up alarm. This makes a difference in the dispatch priority that an alarm will have.
• Security guards should be considered in certain applications.

If an employee who has access to a bank or credit account is fired or quits, the account should be closed and new one opened.
