Shopping Center Plazas
Shopping Center Plazas
Much like malls, shopping center plazas (or strip malls) require site-specific protocol when implementing security services. Whereas much of mall crime takes place indoors, individual stores, restaurants and businesses in shopping center plazas often see more outdoor criminal activity—thus, requiring a different security emphasis.
Parking lots pose the biggest threat to customer safety at shopping center plazas.
Although stores in shopping center plazas usually have one main entrance, there are other areas of security weakness you must consider, including loading zones, corridors, and side and rear entrances. However, shopping center plaza parking lots are most susceptible to criminal activity. As such, maintaining high-security visibility across the external premises should be an important component of your overall security strategy.
