Your Catch of the Month Video: Construction Site Thieves Stopped in Their Tracks
This month’s focus: Equipment Theft
Temperatures aren’t the only thing on the rise during the summer. Construction projects heat up, thanks to more cooperative weather and longer days. More projects create more possibilities for thieves to strike. What steps can you take to eliminate the opportunity for theft at your construction site?
In this month’s featured video, a pair of construction site thieves are arrested before they can leave the scene.

Vandals and trespassers can cause significant construction site damage, whether it is intentional or not. Either way, their activity can be costly for construction sites. >> Read more
Every day, UCIT monitors cameras in real time at commercial sites across North America. We can see suspicious behavior, activate a speaker warning, and call the local police. This month’s count to date:
Q: What if an incident occurs during the day, when no one is monitoring my property?
A: Because crimes are common during business hours, our dedicated video review team will search through hours of footage on your behalf to investigate any issues you many have.
What Clients Say
“Monarch Corporation has been working with UCIT Online since early 2008. They currently provide construction site security for our projects throughout the province of Ontario. Prior to UCIT Online, Monarch utilized security guards but found that they were neither a cost-effective nor an efficient security solution. UCIT caters to their clients’ specific needs and is always accessible to deal with any issues that may arise.”
– Frank Garcea Vice President, Low Rise Operations Monarch Corporation
Security Tip — ID and Record Equipment
Equipment and supplies should be identified and recorded as frequently as possible. A company ID numbering system can be developed to help organize the process. Because not all construction site thefts are committed by outside thieves, keep all sheds locked and consider instituting a “check in and check out” system. >> Read more
