Window Film: Commercial Crime and Theft Prevention

Are your local businesses worried about their offices being broken into by intruders? Window film provides extra layers of security and safety for the commercial and retail industry, acting as an anti-shatter, protective deterrent against break-ins, corporate theft, burglary and forced entry. Breaking and entering through windows or glass doors can be their quickest route to a company’s assets, IT equipment and confidential information. Prism works with the Police Force’s Crime Prevention Service (CPS) and other security and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) companies in the South East, throughout Hertfordshire and Thames Valley and with the Essex Constabulary, to help them advise local commercial enterprises on the many benefits that window film solutions offer to their staff and customers. The CPS, in conjunction with Neighbourhood Watch, proactively finds and regularly speaks to businesses, to advise them on all aspects of crime prevention, privacy, security, anti-terrorism and health and safety. Prism helps security advisors become confident in sharing window film solutions by: Educating and training crime prevention advisory teams and security firms on how window film can secure building and workplace environments Introducing business people, without prior knowledge of window film, to the many advantages that film solutions offer firms financially, environmentally and structurally Helping them spot opportunities where window film can offer additional layers of protection in the form of manifestation film applied to windows, doors and internal office partitions Showing them, through cost calculations, how window film offers an inexpensive alternative to replacing glass windows, doors and office partitions Providing a “no kick-back” commission-free policy ensuring that the advice and help given has integrity at its core The Prism team then develops ongoing, long-term business relationships with them that are reciprocal in nature, with all parties sharing their expertise for the benefit of local businesses becoming better equipped to protect themselves, their properties and their staff.
