In the heart of Tacoma, Washington, nestled among the city's industrial landscape, lies Plumb Signs Inc., a custom signage manufacturing company that has stood the test of time. Over the years, our business has grown, but not without facing significant challenges. And of all the various hurdles, the one that truly tested our resolve was the surge in crime rates around our building.
Roughly four years ago, we witnessed a troubling uptick in criminal activities in our vicinity. This wasn't petty theft or casual vandalism; we were dealing with serious incidents. Over a span of two years, we lost five crane trucks to theft. These vehicles, paramount to our operations, were stolen right from our shop yard, sending shockwaves through our entire team.
READY TO ADD UNCONVENTIONAL SECURITY MEASURES AT YOUR BUSINESS?
The problem escalated when our front office staff began to feel unsafe. Homeless individuals frequently attempted to gain unauthorized access to our premises, further exacerbating the already tense atmosphere. The final straw was a harrowing incident where our 90-foot crane truck was stolen, driven through our gate, and caused a power outage throughout the entire block.
It was clear that traditional security measures were inadequate. We needed a solution that was not only effective but also a strong deterrent. After careful deliberation, we decided to invest in a pair of fully trained black German shepherd dogs.
The dogs' arrival had an immediate impact. Their presence, coupled with their training, brought a sense of security that was previously absent from our premises. The thefts, which had become alarmingly regular, stopped. Our employees no longer feared coming to work, and the general morale improved significantly.
The transformation was nothing short of incredible. The dogs were not just effective security measures; they became a part of our team, our family. They reminded us of the importance of resilience, of standing firm in the face of adversity. We learned that sometimes, unconventional measures can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
Today, we stand stronger than ever. Our manufacturing company continues to thrive, and we have our furry security officers to thank for that. They proved to be the perfect solution to a complex problem, ensuring the safety of our assets and, more importantly, our employees.
Our experience underscores the power and importance of thinking outside the box. It's a testament to the fact that every challenge, no matter how daunting, has a solution. You just need the courage to find it.
In the end, we didn't just overcome a security problem; we emerged stronger, more resilient, and more united. We turned adversity into an opportunity for growth, and for that, we are forever grateful.
