Trends
End users that are expected to increase their demand for security products
and services are government facilities, airports, educational institutions,
and banking operations.
The demand for Access Control, Surveillance, and Garage/Parking Lot
Protection has increased as developers seek to lure tenants and businesses
to reconstructed commercial properties.
Workplace violence, once limited to the convenience store, liquor store,
or gas station, has spilled into the main stream. Workplace homicides
are among the leading cause of work related deaths among women and the
third ranked cause for men.
Overall crime rates have declined over the decade, but the perceived
need for a secure workplace is on the increase. Lower crime rates tend
only to focus corporate attention on other issues such as computer security,
white collar crime, and employee theft where loss potential is enormous.
