Cargo thieves are known to commit 70% of their crimes on the weekends and the three days just give them more leeway. Prepare for the long holiday weekend by urging all operations to discuss and review their security procedures and protocols. Below is a list of suggestions from the SC-ISAC to help maintain the integrity of Facilities: Check security alarm and surveillance systems to ensure proper working order Ensure batteries are fresh in exit doors and back up cellular phone (used to maintain alarm reporting, if phone lines are compromised) Perform perimeter checks, look at fencing or other types of barriers to ensure they are properly secured Check perimeter lighting to ensure lights are on and replace any non working non fixtures. Review timer so that lights come on while facility is closed. Ensure company alarm call list is current and contains valid phone numbers. Require responsible persons to respond to all alarm calls, even when the system is suspected of malfunctioning. Use a wireless verified alarm as an unintegrated back up to your security system Contact law enforcement and ask for additional patrols in the area Remove keys from all warehouse equipment (forklifts)and place in a secure location Freight In-Transit: If you have to leave your rig or loaded trailer unattended, look for a secure lot or authorized location to leave vehicles If forced to leave vehicles at a public facility (truck stop, etc) pick one that is well lit and utilizes surveillance equipment. Park within view of the camera Secure the tractor and trailer with a steering wheel locking device, kingpin locks, glad-hand locks (or other security equipment). Put industrial strength padlocks on trailer doors Do NOT leave keys inside tractor Use covert cargo tracking in the cargo and geo-fencing with alert notification to report unauthorized movement or events Check on the unattended vehicles as frequently as possible Notify dispatch of where and when you have dropped the load and estimated time of return
