Why Every Tampa Business Needs a Security Check
Tampa is booming—but so is opportunity for crime.
Commercial burglary, employee theft, vandalism, and cyber-physical break-ins are rising in Hillsborough County.
According to the Tampa Police Department, commercial property theft rose 7.2% in 2024, especially in:
South Tampa
Ybor City
University area
East Lake-Orient Park
If you haven’t rekeyed, upgraded, or inspected your locks in the last 12–18 months—you’re likely exposed.
