Security in JohannesburgMake security a priority in 2015 Article published on 6 January 2015 Its a new year and if it has started on a positive footing you definitely want to keep things going in that manner for as long as possible. Now is a good time to assess your security situation, and make suitable adjustments to keep your new year moving forward on a good note. Crime statistics for Gauteng issued for the period 2013-2014 indicate a marked drop in most criminal activity, in turn pointing towards a more prevalent and effective police force. This does not mean that t we should become less vigilant and security conscious. Part of the decrease in criminal activity is a result of individuals taking their personal safety more seriously. And continuing this trend will result in an even further decline in criminal activity. Personal or home security is made up of a number of facets, including personal vigilance, basic security such as the locking of doors and gates and the more obvious measures like higher walls and alarm systems. Add a palisade fence to the top of an existing wall or install palisade fencing where there is open or easily accessible grounds. Palisade fencing increase security because of their sturdiness and because they are not easily scaled, without obliterating the view of the property. Installing a palisade will definitely act as a deterrent to opportunistic criminals. Commercial security is equally important, both for the customers as well as for the employees. The locking up of shopping centres will most certainly lead to a decrease in visitors causing businesses to suffer. Enclosing the centre and the parking facilities will however still allow customers to come and go but because of the controlled access it becomes increasingly difficult for criminals to make a fast get away. Welded mesh fencing will allow the centre to be visible and attractive to shoppers while providing increased safety. Welded mesh fencing will also allow any activity within the perimeter to be visible from outside, thereby acting as a deterrent to any illegal activity. So whether you choose to install a high end security system with all the bells and whistles or keep it low key, deterring criminals will keep you safe and help bring the crime rat down even further.
