Convenience store robberies have been described as an epidemic in the United States.

Additionally, convenience store robberies and burglaries make up <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>26.6%<\/strong><\/span> of all robberies reported to police. For as little as $18.00 per month, a panic button for convenience stores can give store employees comfort during those late-night and early morning working hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why are Convenience Stores a Common Target for Crime?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0Many things influence the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/popcenter.asu.edu\/content\/robbery-convenience-stores\">convenience stores<\/a> are a target for crime. 24-hour stores are especially prone to crime because of the long hours. The early morning hours are considered a high risk for crime because there are usually fewer people around then, meaning fewer witnesses and a lower chance for intervention.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6656  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5563-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5563-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5563-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5563-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another reason that convenience stores are a high risk of crime is mainly\u00a0due to the store floor plan layout. Many convenience stores are small, making robberies seem quick and easy to pull off. Various stores also have view obstructions throughout the store. Again, this would decrease the number of possible witnesses to the crime.<\/p>\n<p>One more reason that convenience stores are a prime target is contributed significantly to the fact that a large amount of cash is usually present. Convenience stores generally have smaller items such as candy and soft drinks that are typically paid for with cash. Because some convenience stores are high traffic areas, having a lot of money on hand is a real possibility.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Examples of Convenience Store Violence:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/longisland.news12.com\/story\/39247291\/police-robbers-hit-2-medford-stores-within-2-days\">Robbers hit 2 Medford stores within 2 days <\/a><\/span><strong>&#8211;\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">October 8, 2018, two armed robbers\u00a0hit two Medford, New York convenience stores in just over a 48 hour period.

Because many convenience store clerks work alone, there is a big possibility that the clerk has to move around the store. Between helping customers and cleaning up shelves, among other duties, the clerk typically will not stay in one spot.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/product\/two-button-stationary\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-61\" src=\"http:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/activate-button.png\" alt=\"panic button for convenience stores\" width=\"185\" height=\"166\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the main reasons a convenience store should use a tech-driven panic button is the fact that it notifies emergency services within moments of an alert being raised. Compare this to a traditionally wired panic button that usually takes around two minutes to alert only one responder, and this is assuming the button is working properly in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0A panic button for convenience stores is also discreet when an alert is being activated. Other than trained personnel, the assailant will not know the panic alert has been initiated. Silently, responders are notified with alert description details to help handle the emergency in the most effective way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/product\/two-button-wireless-plan\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-267 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wireless1-150x150.png\" alt=\"wireless panic button systems\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0Our wireless hardware button<\/a> is also beneficial for convenience store clerks in particular since they usually work alone. The wireless button has a 750-foot range from the USB receiver, so the clerk could be working elsewhere in the store and activate an alert if needed.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, our unique feature of linking several locations together would be helpful for corporate convenience stores chains. If an alert were raised in a store, another store in the connected locations network would be notified within seconds what is going on. Furthermore, the store and other personnel can be notified directly via the computer software application, text message, email, or automated phone call.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How to Avoid Convenient Store Robberies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few precautions that convenience store employees can take to decrease the chance of robbery.<\/p>\n<p>The first would be to implement a policy that limits the amount of money that is kept in the registers. Since convenience stores conduct a lot of cash transactions throughout a work day, they usually have a large amount of cash on hand at any given time. Many convenience stores require their employees to make a cash deposit whenever their cash on hand reaches a certain threshold. Sometimes this can happen multiple times a day. Additionally, some stores have signs that indicate that the clerks do not have access to the stored money in the safe. 80% of store robberies are deterred when the amount of money kept in the registers is limited in some form or fashion.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6647 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another way to deter store robberies would be for the store employees to see all parts of the store at all times. This safety precaution can be accomplished in several different manners. Many stores employ the use of surveillance cameras and mirrors. Bright lighting also helps employees have a better view of their surroundings. OSHA also recommends several steps to take to deter in-store emergencies. View their recommendations the link below.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><a style=\"color: #800080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/Publications\/osha3153.pdf\">https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/Publications\/osha3153.pdf<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Incident Response Plans<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>An incident response plan is essential in the event a robbery takes place. What steps is the clerk supposed to follow during and after a robbery occurs? Although it may seem counterintuitive, the best thing to do is to comply with the robber\u2019s demands. Most robbers are not out to hurt anyone; they just want to take something and leave with minimal witnesses and intervention.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6649  alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5575-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5575-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5575-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5575-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Panic buttons can be kind of a catch \u2013 22. When is the proper time to activate it? Many emergency personnel will advise people not to activate a panic button until the robber has left the premises. Activating a button while the robbery is still in progress could potentially trigger a hostage situation if the robber happens to turn around and see police waiting on the other side of the door. If it is safe to activate the alarm, do so. If it is not safe, do not activate the alarm until the coast is clear. Bottom line: use your best judgment,\u00a0as each crime of this nature, is different.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6655  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5552-600x511.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5552-600x511.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5552-768x654.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2E1A5552-1024x872.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, a computer panic button for convenience stores would be beneficial for many reasons including, but not limited to robberies.
