"Improving building security can involve a variety of measures, some of which include: 1. Access control: Implementing an access control system, such as keycard entry or biometric identification, can limit access to the building to authorized personnel only. 2. Surveillance cameras: Installing surveillance cameras at strategic locations throughout the building can deter criminal activity and assist in investigations if a crime occurs. CCTV cameras in commercial properties is now a requirement for business permit and license issuance in some cities. 3. Lighting: Adequate lighting, both inside and outside the building, can help improve security by deterring criminals and making it easier to identify them if they do approach. Well lit front, back, sides of a building not only improves external aesthetics of the building at night but also makes the property noticeable to passersby and too risky for bad elements to get into. 4. Physical barriers: Installing physical barriers, such as fencing, bollards, or security gates, can prevent unauthorized vehicles, and pedestrians from accessing the building. 5. Alarms: Installing an alarm system can alert authorities and building occupants if a crime or emergency occurs. 6. Training for employees:Regular training for employees on security awareness, emergency procedures, and how to identify and report suspicious behavior can help improve the overall security of the building. 7. Regular security assessments: Regular security assessments can help identify potential security vulnerabilities and ensure that security measures are effective and up-to-date. 8. Hire security guards or a security agency: A building feels safer when a professional trained on assessing security risks and keeping an eye for potential danger is present. A security guard is a good deterrent to potential harm to the property or residents. The benefit of providing safe and secure place to tenants and peace of mind far outweighs the security cost especially for professionally managed properties. It is also important to have a plan in place for responding to security incidents, such as a security breach or natural disaster, and to regularly review and update the plan as needed."
