Keeping Pharmacies Safe

What's the best way to prevent a repeat of the incident that Occured in Hicksville?

Employees in a Hicksvile pharmacy were likely fearing for their lives Monday morning when a masked gunman held up a store.

The bandit demanded Oxycodone and fled with several bottles of narcotics, according to police.  Nobody was hurt.

Pharmacy robberies can have tragic results. A hold-up in Seaford in 2012 left an ATF agent dead.  

We want to know what ideas you would have to make pharmacies  safer.
