Fast police responses can be critical in helping to minimize liability risks for commercial property owners. In this Arrest of the Month video, Stealth’s attentive monitoring operators helped get police onsite after a brawl outside a South Carolina business.
While observing live surveillance at a South Carolina shopping center, Stealth security professionals spotted what began as a verbal altercation and quickly escalated to a physical brawl outside one of the businesses within the plaza. Monitoring operators immediately sounded audible warnings and contacted local police dispatch. Officers arrived quickly and made contact with the suspects and business staff.
Physical altercations on commercial properties can pose significant risks for owners and managers. These incidents can lead to severe legal and financial repercussions, including liability lawsuits, increased insurance premiums, and potential fines for non-compliance with safety regulations. In addition to immediate physical harm to individuals involved, altercations can damage the property’s reputation, deterring customers and tenants, and ultimately affecting revenue.
For example, a 2023 incident at a shopping center in Tukwila, where a fight broke out leading to multiple injuries, resulted in a lawsuit against the property management for inadequate security measures. Similarly, a 2021 brawl at a Florida mall highlighted the need for proactive security strategies, as the property faced public scrutiny and legal challenges.
Additionally, physical altercations can strain relationships with tenants who may demand increased security measures or consider relocating to safer environments. Ensuring robust shopping and retail center security protocols, like live video monitoring, can help mitigate these risks by providing real-time intervention and deterring potential conflicts.
