Building Security: General Office Security
Security Checklist
For your own internal security and also for the security of the building, it is in your best interest to control the
number of keys issued. Only people needing after hour access should be issued a key.
The following is a list of general office security suggestions, which are offered to you as an aid in
establishing your internal security procedures:
Restrict office keys to those who actually need them.
Keep complete, up-to-date records of the distribution of all office keys.
Have adequate procedures for collecting keys prior to termination of employees.
Establish a rule that keys must not be left unguarded on desks or cabinets.
Require that filing cabinet keys be removed from locks and placed in a secure location after opening
cabinets.
Prevent unauthorized personnel from reporting a lost key and receiving a replacement.
A responsible person is in charge of issuing all keys.
Store keys systematically in a secured wall cabinet of either your own design or from a commercial
key control system.
Insist on identification from repairmen who come to work in your office.
Clear all desks of important papers.
When working alone in the office at night, lock the front door to prevent anyone else from entering.
Keep the police, fire department, and building security telephone numbers posted.
Double check to see that all doors are securely locked before you leave.
Reporting Thefts
Any and all losses of personal property should be reported to the Los Angeles Police Department and
the Office of the Building immediately.
The security of your office is your responsibility. All valuables, purses, wallets, etc. should not be left
in plain view. We recommend that purses be locked in desks and that valuables be put away and
locked up each night.
It is the Tenant’s responsibility to ensure that all suite entry doors are closed and locked at the close
of each business day. We further recommend that secondary entrances remain locked and secured
at all times.
Suspicious Persons
We promote Neighborhood Watch at Warner Center Towers. If you see suspicious or offensive
persons in the building, please call the Office of the Building immediately. If possible, make note of
appearance, clothing, etc. to assist building security in locating them.
Please be aware of strangers in your Tenant areas and halls. Quite often a question such as “May I
help you locate someone?” is enough to deter a potential thief. Suspicious encounters of this type
should be reported to the Office of the Building immediately.
Security Guards
Security officers are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Warner Center Towers is closed to the
public during non-business hours. All tenants entering the building during non-business hours must use
their access card for entry.
Security Escorts
Security Officers are available to escort you to your vehicles after hours. Please call security base at
818-716-2627 for this service. Please allow 15 minutes.
