The Importance of Commercial Security in Pharmacy Applications

Prescription drug abuse is an epidemic that has taken hold of communities coast to coast. Along with the prescriptions themselves, pharmacies also house customers’ confidential information. Pharmacies can do their part to keep medications and this confidential information out of the hands of the wrong individuals by making sure their facility is secure and well monitored.

State-of-the-art surveillance systems can help record a facility both during the day and after work hours to monitor all activities and break-ins. These systems can catch potential thieves taking over-the-counter medicine as well as would-be intruders looking for prescription drugs. These systems also act as an eye in the sky, monitoring employees to document all activity and ensure proper protocols are observed.

Beyond monitoring the building, pharmacies should also make sure that all traditional and keypad locks are working properly.  Updating locks installed by a commercial locksmith are less likely to be the target of vandalism or theft. In addition to door locking devices, electronic security systems should be installed, as they act as another layer of defense against potential break-ins and allow the authorities to be alerted to any suspicious activity when the store is closed.
