October 9, 2006—In light of British surveys that report as many as 90 crimes per year for every 100 hotels, the UK ‘s Building Research Establishment (BRE) has published a new guide on hotel security. Securing Your Hotel is a practical tool designed to help hotel owners and managers ensure that their premises and guests are safe from crime.
With simple step-by-step illustrations, the guide shows how to review current security features and offers advice on how to tackle problem areas.
It gives guidance on a whole range of security issues, such as: petty theft, car theft, burglary, robbery, assault, arson, and the ever-growing threat of terrorism.
It also advises on where to go when there is a need for professional help and how to choose suitable security products or services with a proven track record.
Copies are available from the BRE Bookshop.
