Tip for Businesses: Enhance Security Measures
The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force reminds business owners to review and enhance their security protocols regularly. Consider implementing or upgrading surveillance systems, ensuring adequate lighting inside and outside your premises, and establishing clear procedures for handling cash. Keeping only a minimal amount of money on the premises and training staff in robbery prevention and response procedures can significantly reduce the risk of such incidents and enhance overall safety.
