Auto Dealership

Auto dealerships are special targets for criminal activity. Some auto dealerships keep file of their clients’ financial information in their offices and cars depreciate at a faster rate when off the auto lot.  June 2020, the San Leandro Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership was robbed of 70 premium vehicles right of its lot.  Only 20-25 cars were recovered, and damages were up to $5 million.  The dealership did not have any security officers and the police were preoccupied at the time.  Having uniformed security officers can help auto dealerships from having to worry about if their property is protected and the proper authorities are contacted in time of an emergency.  Without security officers around, auto dealerships will be known as easy targets with high value property.  Even if the crime committed is not violent, auto dealerships will lose money because cars depreciate once they leave the lot.  Even if the cars are recovered, there will still be profit loss due to vandalism, miles accrued on the vehicle, age of the car and the time and resources it takes to recover vehicles.
