This store is a small convenience store called 24 Hours.
24 Hours is located 5 miles away from the local police station in Akron Ohio. This store is also located in a neighborhood with an extremely high crime rate. 24 Hours is open 24 hours a day with three separate shifts working from 6am-3pm, 3pm-11pm, and 11pm-6am.
Because of the stores location they have a strict security layout and follow out orders to execute this plan on a daily basis. This plan consist of having a brinks truck come to them every 10 hours to pick up their cash income and it is to be dropped off at the bank, and to have all the employees on every shift to drop the money in a timed safe set for when the brinks truck comes to pick up the money. To have a set schedule and certain procedures followed as when to stock the merchandise only when there is no one in the store. The security features in this store include, has (CCTV) closed captioned television installed and lighting around the store including the parking lot witch is small.
This store also has bars on all three windows including the pickup window three cctv cameras on the outside of the store four on the inside two alarms on both doors three round in corner security mirrors, five brightly lit lights around the store or posted on the outside perimeter of the store four light posts around the parking lot and four light posts on the inner diameter of the parking lot with a total of eight light posts in the parking lot.
Some of their procedures when being robed are to cooperate, and communicate clearly with the robber as to not aggravate him or her. With the money insured just do as he or she tells you to do and don’t argue. The most important action a robbery victim must master during a robbery is to remain calm, or at least present the outward appearance of being calm! Even during a “simulated robbery,” it is not uncommon for the victim to panic. Training and application are the keys to minimizing the element of panic during a robbery. If you do not remain calm or keep your composure, you will not be able to obtain a good description. A robber will rarely hurt you unless you provoke them don’t be a HERO -- Your life is worth more than anything kept in the facility you work in COOPERATE WITH THE ROBBER!!
Primary objective of the robber is to take without complications never place yourself in a position where someone can approach you undetected. . Once you realize you’re being robbed, take a brief glance at the upper portion of robber(s) body (head to neck). Make note of hair, hat, complexion, eyes, glasses, scars, facial hair, jewelry, sex, nationality, age, and height. While handing the robber the money or goods, glance at the middle portion of his/her body (shoulder to waist).
Make note of jewelry, shirt, jacket, tie, pockets, name tags, rank/stripes, any writing on clothing, belt, and weight. To help you guess a robber’s weight, compare to your weight or to a co-worker’s. As the robber departs, glance at the lower portion of his/her body (waist to feet). Make note of pants, skirt, shorts, tennis shoes, dress shoes, barefoot, etc. These are some of the procedures to the stores floor plans when being robbed that I have used as an example.
24 Hours also has a walk up window with special bullet proof glass a gage like fencing on both sides of the glass including the other 2 windows in the store as well. The doors are closed locked, and alarm activated on all doors in the store one in the front and one in the back that is what the walk up window is for when they close the doors at 8pm every day so that there is less chance of robbery.
This store is also equipped with 3 big rounded mirrors that the clerks can look into in the other 3 corners of the shop to see offenders such as thieves and robbers before they can steal or make a move so they are better prepared to protect themselves when it does happen. This store also has a last resort and that is if the cops are called and everything is done that can possibly be done and they have no choice left they have two 12 gage shotguns loaded at all times next to their waists under the counter.
They also have protective glass surrounding them inside the store as well. 24 Hours has signs threw out the store posting that the customers and everybody is on camera so to further discourage any one from testing their limits and trying to commit the crime.

Bomb threat plan 1. Signal a person nearby 2. Take down information 3. Take the time of call 4. ask questions(when is the bomb going to explode, the location of the bomb, what the bomb looks like, what kind is it, what will cause it to explode, if the caller placed the bomb, why did they do it, the callers current location, and the caller’s name) 5. What is the callers address? 6. Other actions needed 7. Call 911 after information is received 8. Phone number of caller if possible 9. Description of caller’s voice 10. Accent (if any) 11. Date and time of call 12. Keep the caller on the line and do not hang up. 13. Try to remain calm at all times

Fire threat plan 1. Activate the fire emergency alarms throughout the building 2. Call 911 3. Initiate the fire evacuation plan and immediately evacuate the building, don’t re-enter 4. Identify the building fire warden and have them give a brief report to the fire officials stating the location of the fire, description of the fire, missing and injured employees 5. Once the building is evacuated, all fire wardens are to account for all personnel on their assigned teams and assess any injuries or damages 6. Locate and identify the injured and have them on standby until emergency personnel arrive Being able to have a up to date and reliable disaster response and emergency plan can truly save not only your life, but those who work in the building, customers, and at times save the building itself. The threat and risk assessments I chose happen nearly every day all over the nation.
Some liability issues in this store would be employer liability, which covers the employees in legal issues concerning things as sexual harassment. Some other issues such as if you run the store you are responsible for certain things that could happen there such as if a customer slips and falls due to a wet freshly mopped floor or the refrigerator that gives off to much condensation causing the slip and injury. For example in this store an employee has just mopped the floor and he/she did not put up a caution wet floor sign so the customer did not know to take his or her time while walking up and down the floor so they slipped and hurt themselves you are ultimately responsible for your employees so the problem is on you is on you.
There is no hired physical security on the premises, there only physical security there is at the store is the public police they only sit outside in their patrol car when in the area just to keep the robbers and thieves away with a physical presence of the Akron police but only for a limited amount of time every day for around a hour at a time at random. As for our information security, the store has two locked safes one for money witch is timed and the other for employee information.
Due to the failing economy, people are becoming desperate for quick cash, so banks are always the first target. Bomb threats come from disgruntled people that have a point to prove or a statement to make to the bank and public eye. The cyber war is becoming increasingly worse at a fast rate. Customers are getting scammed in different ways everyday leaving their lives in pieces once victimized. Employees are also becoming desperate and greedy in trying to receive more money fast at all costs.
