General Office Security

  • Never leave your reception area unattended.
  • Report all suspicious persons to Building Management Office at (847) 597-2350, Building Security at (847) 597-2383 and/or the Deerfield Police at (847) 945-8636.
  • Do not allow persons making deliveries to wander through your offices without an escort.
  • Keep valuables (cash, wallets, purses, calculators, televisions, DVD players, radios) in a safe place. Avoid putting purses under your desk or in the lower desk drawer.
  • Never assume you may safely leave your desk with valuables in sight.
  • Require strict compliance with the use of a visitor logbook to record names of persons entering and departing the office after regular business hours.
  • Strangers should not be sent to an empty office to use a telephone. Instead offer to dial the number for them or escort them to a phone and stay with them while they make their call.
  • Do not allow workmen free access to your suite. Building Management will inform you when we are sending repairmen. Call our office to verify. Notice if they are in a uniform and if the uniform name correctly identifies their business.
  • Above all, be alert and question strangers. Ask for a business card or ID badge. Ask with whom they have an appointment and escort them to that person's office.
  • Call for assistance, (847) 597-2350 or (847) 597-2383, before confronting someone who cannot satisfactorily demonstrate his or her identity or purpose in your office.
