PARKING LOT CRIMES AND THE NEED FOR ROBUST SECURITY

Posted by Matthew Clark on Apr 19, 2024

Parking lots, those seemingly mundane spaces where vehicles find temporary
respite, often harbor a multitude of criminal activities that range from minor
inconveniences to serious felonies. Despite being essential components of urban
infrastructure, parking lots represent fertile grounds for illicit behaviors due
to their transient nature and the perceived anonymity they afford perpetrators.

Parking lot crimes are a big problem. Of course, all crimes are a problem, but
businesses tend not to take steps to prevent parking lot crimes. They focus on
building security and cybersecurity. The reality is that parking lots take up a
lot of space and they’re filled with items that criminals want. Parking lots
attract crooks because they tend to have little activity compared to other parts
of a facility. Or rather, they have a constant activity that no one will notice
anyone with insidious plans.

The inherent design of parking lots makes them susceptible to providing many
spaces for lawbreakers to hide. If they spot someone coming, they can easily
duck under a vehicle or somewhere in the lot with poor lighting. Additionally,
they tend to be open to the public, which makes it harder to identify who could
be a potential bad actor.

Parking lot crimes were the No. 3 location for violent crime in 2022 as reported
by the FBI Crime Data Explorer. Parking lot crimes comprise 25% of all violent
crimes according to Crime in the United States also from the FBI.

Each week, more than 600 violent parking lot crimes occur. It’s not just inside
the lot where the problems are. The area between the parking lot and the
building adds almost 2,000 violent crimes every week. This includes the
sidewalk, alley, street, and highway. The FBI’s definition of violent crimes
includes aggravated assault, rape, homicide, and robbery.

Those numbers are scary enough to convince businesses to address parking lot
security. Besides, property managers and owners are responsible for creating and
maintaining a safe and secure environment. This can put them at risk for
liability issues. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act of 1970
29 USC 654 says every employer:

 * “shall furnish to each of his employees, employment and a place of employment
   which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to
   cause death or serious physical harm to his employees;
 * “shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under
   this Act.”

Most parking lots are built to be reactive instead of proactive. This means the
facility doesn’t address security gaps until after something bad happens.
Fortunately, there are ways to overcome this and reduce the risk of parking lot
crimes.


TYPES OF PARKING LOT CRIMES

First, here’s a look at the types of parking lot crimes that are happening.


VEHICLE THEFT

One of the most prevalent crimes in parking lots is vehicle theft, an act that
can lead to substantial financial losses and emotional distress for victims.
Opportunistic thieves capitalize on the vulnerability of unattended vehicles.
They either pilfer valuables left within or take off with the entire vehicle.

The allure of parked cars lies in their perceived defenselessness, especially in
densely populated urban areas where parking is a premium commodity. Vehicles
left unattended for even brief intervals become prime targets for thieves.
Factors such as inadequate security measures, remote locations, and poor
lighting further exacerbate the risk of vehicle theft in parking lots, creating
a pervasive atmosphere of insecurity among users.


VEHICLE BREAK-INS

Another prevalent form of criminal activity in parking lots is vehicle
break-ins. These are often referred to as “smash-and-grabs.” In these acts,
brazen thieves use brute force, typically smashing car windows, to gain access
to valuables left unattended inside vehicles.

From electronic gadgets to personal belongings, anything of perceived value
becomes fair game for these thieves. The temporary nature of parking lots,
coupled with the anonymity they provide, makes them attractive targets for
smash-and-grabs. In addition, the speed and efficiency with which these crimes
can be executed make them low-risk efforts in the eyes of perpetrators.


VIOLENT CRIMES

As previously mentioned, parking lots can also be arenas for violent offenses
such as robberies, assaults, and abductions. The nature of parking lots with
their inadequate lighting and sparse security patrols creates an environment
conducive to criminal activities.

Offenders may target individuals who are alone, distracted, or returning to
their vehicles during late hours. They exploit vulnerabilities to carry out
their nefarious deeds. The sense of isolation and vulnerability experienced by
victims in parking lots highlights the need for comprehensive security measures
to help ensure their safety.


VANDALISM

In addition to theft and violence, parking lots are also susceptible to acts of
vandalism, which can range from minor things like graffiti to more extensive
damage to vehicles and property. These malicious acts can incur financial losses
for victims and also contribute to a sense of disorder and insecurity within
parking facilities.

Vandalism often occurs under the cover of darkness or in secluded areas where
crooks can operate without fear of detection. The frequency of vandalism in
parking lots emphasizes the importance of implementing robust security measures
and fostering a culture of respect and accountability among users.


HIT-AND-RUNS

Hit-and-run incidents — where drivers collide with parked vehicles and flee the
scene without providing necessary information — are another frequent occurrence
in parking lots, often leaving victims to bear the burden of repair costs and
insurance claims. These reckless acts can cause property damage and pose risks
to the safety of pedestrians and other motorists.

Hit-and-run drivers often assume they’ll get away with it, which worsens the
sense of impunity around these crimes.


HOW DESIGN PRINCIPLES HELP CURB PARKING LOT CRIMES

Businesses like multifamily, commercial, and retail properties need to
prioritize proactive parking lot crime prevention. This is possible to do with
the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).

This is a “multi-disciplinary approach of crime prevention that uses urban and
architectural design and the management of built and natural environments. CPTED
strategies aim to reduce victimization, deter offender decisions that precede
criminal acts, and build a sense of community among inhabitants so they can gain
territorial control of areas, reduce crime, and minimize fear of crime”
according to CPTED’s website.

Think about it. When you go by a building with a broken window or graffiti on
its walls, what impression does it have? Many will assume it’s not a safe place.
Therefore, applying CPTED principles can help maximize security without
sacrificing aesthetics.

The best time to apply CPTED principles is during the construction of the
building and parking lot. To do it later could cost more, especially since
building codes and zoning ordinances can conflict with CPTED principles.

The cost of land compels many companies to build multilevel parking structures.
Unfortunately, this goes against CPTED’s recommendation of designing open
single-level parking lots. Multilevel parking structures contain more hiding
spaces, especially with the sloped ramps. It also makes natural surveillance
difficult.

The definition of natural surveillance is people observing their surroundings.
It could be security guards, residents, and people using the parking lot. Since
land is a premium, most companies opt for multi-level closed parking facilities,
which interfere with natural surveillance.


ADDING ROBUST SECURITY TO PREVENT PARKING LOT CRIMES

To combat the menace of parking lot crimes, multifaceted approaches are
necessary. One of the fastest, easiest, and least expensive ways to deter
parking lot crimes is parking lot lighting. It can’t do it alone, but it’s a
good starting point. Lighting in parking lots requires careful design. It’s not
simply adding more and brighter light bulbs. There’s a science to effective
lighting design.

Furthermore, implementing robust security measures such as video surveillance
with remote monitoring and access control systems serve as deterrents to
potential crimes. Traditional security cameras are passive. They cannot avert
crime.

Video surveillance with remote monitoring provides proactive security. This
solution can spot a possible problem before anything happens. What makes remote
video surveillance different is it involves video analytics and trained
monitoring operators, who watch the entire property parking lot. Nothing can be
hidden from the cameras.

It’s also valuable to partner with law enforcement agencies and local
communities. Together, they can develop proactive strategies and initiatives
aimed at reducing incidents of vehicle theft and enhancing overall safety in
parking facilities.

Additionally, installing physical barriers such as bollards or security screens
can create obstacles that reduce the likelihood of smash-and-grab incidents.
Educating parking lot users about the importance of securing their belongings
and avoiding leaving valuables in plain sight can also contribute to reducing
the prevalence of vehicle break-ins.

surface, parking lots can harbor various criminal activities that can endanger
the safety and security of its users. These criminal activities include vehicle
theft, break-ins, vandalism, and even violent crimes. Given the complexity of
these challenges, addressing parking lot security requires a comprehensive and
collaborative approach.

By implementing robust security measures and engaging in proactive community
partnerships, stakeholders can work together to create safer and more secure
parking environments for all. Companies must work together to reduce parking lot
crimes and ensure safety for all users of urban parking spaces.
