Reality TV shows have never been too reluctant to show the gruesome crimes that happen when criminals target 24 hour convenience stores. Despite the presence of security cameras that could make criminals think twice before storming in a store, looting it and even causing harm to the storekeeper, the criminals go on with their maligned activities anyway. Especially in the dip of the economy, crime rates have just risen and the convenience stores are easy targets.
On a business point of view, no matter how dangerous, the 24 hour convenience store makes use of 100% its resources, as opposed to half of it being spent in the quiet and the dark when the stores have closing hours. As part of the local authorities’ campaign to curb the rising rates of mishaps in convenience stores, store owners have been given enough information packets and trainings on the best kinds of security systems that could work for them. Though surveillance cameras can greatly help, there are state of the art security devices that could send the police off to the area of concern as soon as the alarm is triggered.
There needs to be no danger in trying to even make a move to pick up that phone that often costs lives of storekeepers or owners. With state of the art triggering devices and systems, authorities can be on their way while the looters start packing up their loot.
