Objective
The security challenge was at PillPack. They were particularly acute due to the nature of the items stored on-site. PillPack is known for handling prescriptions, including various tablets and drugs, which are crucial for the health and well-being of their clients. The objective was to enhance security measures around the building to deter break-ins, particularly from homeless individuals known to target the site, presumably to steal these expensive and essential medications.
This situation required a security approach that not only safeguarded the property but also protected the valuable and sensitive contents within the facility. The repeated attempts by homeless individuals to break in and steal drugs posed a serious threat to the integrity of the service provided by PillPack and the safety of the prescriptions belonging to their clients.
Solution
To address the security challenges at PillPack by Amazon, CGSS proposed a straightforward yet effective security strategy. The plan involved stationing an armed guard on-site to enhance the security posture of the facility. The presence of an armed guard was deemed necessary due to the value and nature of the items stored at the site, especially considering the previous break-in attempts.
The armed guard was tasked with conducting hourly rounds throughout the property. This frequent and regular patrolling was intended to serve as a proactive measure for early detection of any suspicious activities or potential security breaches. The hourly rounds would also act as a deterrent to individuals contemplating unauthorized entry or theft.
In addition to physical patrolling, maintaining detailed security reports was part of the proposed solution. These reports would document all observations and incidents, providing a comprehensive record of on-site activities and any security-related issues.
Furthermore, in the event of any significant problems or security breaches, the guard was instructed to promptly contact the local police for immediate assistance. This measure ensured that any critical situations could be escalated to law enforcement authorities, providing an additional layer of response and intervention when necessary.
Results
The implementation of the security measures by CGSS was highly successful. The introduction of an armed guard who conducted vigilant patrols every hour played a critical role in this achievement.
The consistent security presence on-site served as an effective deterrent, and word quickly spread that the facility was under constant watch. This significantly reduced the appeal of the site as a target for break-ins, especially from those who had previously viewed the property as vulnerable.
The regular patrols conducted by the security guard ensured that any unusual activities were swiftly identified and addressed, maintaining the integrity and safety of the building. As a result, Brady Sullivan Properties and PillPack experienced no further security incidents. The building was effectively protected from any attempts by unwanted criminals to break in and enter.
The success of this security detail underscored the value of a strong and visible security presence in deterring potential threats and safeguarding valuable assets and operations.
