Home and business security is important for all property owners in Cambodia. Crime prevention requires attention from the right providers in order to ensure that your property is secured. However, it is also important to look after yourself.
Ms. Sim Kalyan, general manager of Global Security Solutions (GSS), recently talked to Realestate.com.kh about how to stay safe when living in Cambodia.
What qualifications should security companies have?
Kalyan said that the history of the security company’s management should be reviewed, especially the Managing Director’s. Check for experience and if they have a clear policy for the staff, such as if their salaries regularly paid or if the security guard’s salary is good enough. This is crucial because you must have a guard that is loyal to their company above all else. Try to also look for information on whether the services are good enough from past customer.
Also check whether the security company’s registered and licensed in the ministry. There are more than 200 security companies in the country and some of them don’t have licenses.
What safety precautions should we take in Cambodia?
There’s always a risk of pickpockets or thieves. Kalyan advised not wear a lot of jewelry when going outside, using a small bag and putting it inside shirts in order to avoid pickpockets.
In terms of robbery protection, bodyguards can be an option for those who can afford them.
Alternatively, walking with two or more people lowers the risk of robbery. But we should also be careful in crowded places. There can be a possible kidnapping because of neglect. Knowing where to sit or where to look around also helps.
In case thieves are following you, it’s recommend not to go home. It’s better to go to crowded areas or places like hospitals or police stations. The daily commute should include scouting areas in case of emergency.
Kalyan also mentioned that it’s better not to go home when you’re out past midnight night. If you really need to go home, inform your family.
Do not set up a password on your phone so that if you are in an accident, the first on scene can still contact your close friends or family.
Should I use insurance even when I already have security systems?
A security company will guarantee limited payment in case something happens. Choosing insurance is a good safety net for any damages that could occur.
Kalyan said that those who have plenty of high-valued objects should use insurance services. Also, doing a consultation with an expert insurance firm or consultant is advisable before you decide to purchase a home or business.
When using insurance, You only need to pay a fixed monthly amount to get compensation for what has been lost. Insurance service is the best choice for property owners who want to eliminate risks on their property asset.
Other factors to consider:
Kalyan added that if you know you’re being watched all time, you shouldn’t leave the workplace with a consistent schedule. Leave early sometimes and sometimes late. We should not drive only one route. By doing this, the thief will not know exactly what time you leave and which route you take.
In addition, there are three strategies: run, fight, and hide. These three strategies can enable us to escape from danger. But we also have to be responsible to know when to use each method.
