Members' Conference Session

Rob Dovey, DSOC

Crime in the self storage sector is evolving, across both internal facilities and external container sites, and operators need to understand not just what is happening, but why.
This session explores the criminal risk-versus-reward mindset and how offenders assess sites before acting. By understanding the decision-making process, operators can practically shift the balance, increasing perceived risk, reducing reward, and making their sites less attractive targets.
