A Mobile Security Trailer is crucial for managing construction sites, parking lots, corporate offices, and multi-family residential areas

Parking area security has become a growing concern for business owners nationwide. Most indoor car lots and garages are poorly lit, making them a prime setting for criminal activity, from car break-ins and vandalism to motor vehicle theft and even acts of violence.

Parking lots across the United States are hotbeds for crime, from car break-ins and vandalism to motor vehicle theft and even acts of violence. In fact, 80% of all crimes in malls and apartments occur in their parking lots or garages.

Theft and vandalism are major causes for concern in the construction industry. Heavy equipment, fleets, and building materials are very valuable targets for criminals and needed to be guarded in one form or another 24/7...especially during off hours. 

Construction sites are often unsupervised overnight, and with an abundance of valuable materials, they make ripe targets to thieves and other criminals.

You may not be aware of this, but there’s a gold mine under your company’s cars and trucks…and using the term “gold mine” is actually an understatement. We’re talking about catalytic converters, which house metallic elements that are currently valued as much as 15% times the price of gold.

According to The National Equipment Register (NER), construction site theft costs the industry up to $1 billion each year.  The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB/CEG) reports, nearly one thousand pieces of commercial equipment are reported stolen each month.  According to the NER/NICB report, only 21% of the stolen equipment was recovered in 2016.
