biBerk Business Insurance Offers Valuable Insights on the Things You Can Do to Protect Your Business from Burglary
05/13/2025, Omaha, Nebraska // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire //
One of the many challenges owners face in running a successful company is the chance that somebody will enter their property illegally and steal from them. Unfortunately, in business, burglary is an ever-present risk.
But there's good news: You can take action to protect your business from burglary and lower your risk of being targeted by criminals.
This article provides proven strategies for securing your property to prevent illegal access. It also has essential information on what are called 'protective safeguard endorsements,' which are features of a business insurance policy related to defined steps for avoiding losses—in this case, preventing crime.
Let's dive into the critical topic of business burglary and how to prevent it!
What is business burglary?
A good place to start is to explain what this crime is specifically. Burglary is defined as entering a property illegally with intent to commit theft. From a legal perspective, it's different from similar actions like robbery (theft through force or the threat of force), but the burglary of a business has the same result—the loss of valuable assets.
For example, a store burglary might involve criminals breaking in overnight and stealing inventory. At a service business, burglary could be the theft of valuable equipment or tools.
9 things you can do to protect your business from burglary
Knowing how to prevent a burglary lowers your risk of being victimized. Below are some steps you can (and should) take to keep your assets safe:
A note about protective safeguard endorsements
Shielding a company from the effects of a business burglary really has two parts. For starters, it's crucial to do all you can to secure your business. The least damaging crime is the one that never happens!
The second part is having insurance to reimburse your business for the losses you suffer in a burglary. Policies often have protective safeguard endorsements. These provisions require you to take defined actions to secure your property. (For example, installing an alarm system, cameras, etc.)
Typically, a protective safeguard device has to be operational at the time of a loss for coverage to apply. But generally speaking, if you've told your insurance company you have an operational protective safeguard device they'll give you a premium credit and, as a result, require you to keep it active.
And, of course, you'll want to do that anyway. No business owner wants to lose valuable assets or spend time dealing with the aftermath of a break-in.

The Protests Spread
The protests, once contained to small corners of Los Angeles, have spread across the country. And cities are waking up to more. Downtown Los Angeles is currently under a curfew. Police officers wrestled protesters to the ground in New York, used chemical agents in Atlanta and monitored large demonstrations in Chicago, where people vandalized vehicles and threw water bottles at them. In Los Angeles, the police flew in a helicopter and threatened over a loudspeaker to arrest anyone who broke the curfew downtown. The fight between California and the Trump administration has also escalated. In a nationally televised speech, Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who may have presidential ambitions, argued that Trump's deployment of 5,000 federal troops to Los Angeles had put the U.S. on the verge of authoritarianism. 'Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,' Newsom said. 'The moment we've feared has arrived.' The protests are expected to continue today: Marines will be in Los Angeles to protect immigration agents and federal buildings, expanding the government's rare use of military force on domestic soil. The Texas governor, Greg Abbott, has called in the National Guard ahead of protests planned in San Antonio. Trump threatened that protesters across the country would be met with 'equal or greater force' than those in Los Angeles, which he called 'a trash heap.' He promised to 'liberate' it. Below, we explain what is happening. The raids continue The protests are a widespread rebuke of Trump's immigration policies. The president won the election on a pledge to conduct mass deportations, and he has used cinematic raids to signal he's making good on that promise. As anger spreads in cities, Trump is digging in. Agents are rushing to arrest undocumented migrants, and he has sent federal troops to work with them. National Guard troops accompanied federal immigration officers on raids across Los Angeles. The Marines will also provide security to ICE agents as they do their work today, a government spokeswoman said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Trump energy adviser slams renewables, says focus is on fossil fuels
President Donald Trump is a fan of fossil fuels who is determined to boost oil and gas and turn away from renewables — regardless of what some energy executives, fellow Republicans or even Elon Musk have to say on the matter, one of his top energy advisers said Tuesday. 'What I would say is the president is in charge,' said Jarrod Agen, a deputy assistant to the president and executive director of the White House's National Energy Dominance Council, at POLITICO's annual Energy Summit. 'The last thing we want is in the short term to have any problems with the grid,' he added. Advertisement Trump believes that fossil fuels got a 'bad deal' under former President Joe Biden, and the current administration will continue to double down on traditional energy, Agen said. That is despite economic uncertainty brought on during Trump's term that has roiled energy markets.
