This information brochure explains how Federal employees can prevent thefts in their offices.
Abstract
They should always keep their purses or wallets with them or in a secure drawer or cabinet. They should also keep all office money, credit cards, and Government travel requests in a locked and secure desk or cabinet. In addition, they should keep lists of identifying numbers or symbols of office equipment and furniture in a safe secure place. The identifying credentials of all persons claiming to be repairpersons should be checked. A repairperson should never be left alone in an office. If a theft should occur, the local police and the Federal Protective Service should be notified immediately. Illustrations.
