It's that time of year again Gold Coast. As the nights heat up and we all begin our preparations for the busy holiday season ahead, thousands of teenage school-leavers will flock to the Gold Coast to celebrate the end of years of study.
Although the reports of bad behavior from this influx of young revelers have gotten less intense over the past few years, it is still important to note that at busy times like these, certain crimes on the Gold Coast do spike. Unfortunately, it seems that crimes of a more violent nature such as bashing's and fights are still a frequent occurrence during Schoolies' Week.
Keeping this in mind, it is recommended that businesses and residents on the Coast think about their current security measures and whether or not they are going to be adequate during this sometimes chaotic period. One additional service that some businesses are considering is staff escorts for venues that close late at night to ensure that all employees are able to make it safely to their cars. This is a important thing to consider as many bashing's and other violent crimes occur late at night. A simple thing such as an escort ensures that your most important business asset, your people will feel safe and secure leaving work.
Another move that many venues make at this time of year is to increase the amount of crowd controllers that they have available for their venues. This ensures that the staffing ratios will stay within legal guidelines at all times and that patrons that the venue will be able to enjoy a trouble free night. When working out how many additional guards you may require, base it off the increase in trade that you expect over the busy period. A good security firm will be able work with you to ensure optimal staffing levels for your venue so it's smooth trading for you.
If your business experiences a large spike in trade, you may end up with an excess of cash that needs to be taken to the bank. Making sure that you have a contact for cash in transit on hand will mean that you do not have to risk your team and your business if a large sum of cash needs to be moved short notice. Paying someone to take the money for you also means that your team members are available to do their usual jobs and attend your customers instead of leaving the premises. Most locally based cash in transit providers will be able to come to you short notice if required.
Local Gold Coast security providers will have the right knowledge to hekp you get all of your security needs sorted and in place to get you through Schoolies' weeek with your sanity in check.
