"The 84th Precinct notes that roughly three out of four commercial burglaries hit locations where outside lighting is weak, and it is pushing simple but proven fixes like stronger exterior lights, better-quality locks and monitored alarms to slow down anyone trying to force a way in."
"Officers and the NYPD's Crime Prevention materials point to motion-activated lighting, clearly visible cameras, commercial-grade deadbolts and monitored alarm systems as some of the most effective ways to make a storefront less appealing to burglars."
"The NYPD Crime Prevention Section offers downloadable security tip sheets and lists a dedicated phone line, 212-614-6741, for businesses that want a free on-site survey."
The NYPD's 84th Precinct in Brooklyn issued a security advisory following increased commercial burglaries in its coverage area.

The precinct emphasizes that approximately 75% of commercial burglaries target locations with inadequate exterior lighting. The NYPD offers free, location-specific security assessments and downloadable security tip sheets. Businesses can contact the Crime Prevention Section at 212-614-6741 to schedule on-site surveys.
