Year after year, crime statistics prove that the holiday season is “open” season for criminals looking to score big. It’s a perfect opportunity, as both homes and cars are full of new merchandise. Cash drawers at local retail outlets are full of money, ATM’s are busy dispensing money and our pockets and purses are bulging with money. Everywhere a thieves looks, opportunities are present.
For a crime to be committed, both a victim and an offender must be involved. While offenders are everywhere, you have some control over whether or not you become a victim. By practicing a few basic security measures, you can reduce, and sometimes even eliminate, the opportunities you present to those who want to take what you’ve worked so hard to acquire.
Here are some basic security tips that you should keep in mind. These tips will help you to improve your personal security, as well as the security of your property, whether you’re at or away from home.

As a 17 year owner of a security guard company, I always had my eyes open for another business that could be used to supplement my current income. In 2005 I found that opportunity in Crime Scene Cleanup and started Bio-Trauma 911, Inc.
For as nearly as long as I’ve worked in the security industry, I have worked part-time as a police officer. For too many years I watched as family members struggled to find help following the aftermath of a violent crime or terrible accident. Police officers and emergency personnel would come in, conduct and investigation, remove a body and depart the scene. Remaining was the blood, bodily fluids and small pieces of tissue and bone fragments for the family members to clean up.
Until 2005, I, just as so many families I tried to comfort in the midst of a horrible tragedy, had no idea that crime scene cleanup companies existed. It wasn’t something that most people talked about and it certainly wasn’t a popular internet search term. Now, six years later, I have answers!

Trinity Executive Services, Inc. continues to be one of the top-rated security services providers in Indiana. While many companies have been unable to weather this most recent recession, Trinity Executive Services has emerged stronger than ever.
In a recent interview the President of Trinity Executive Services, Inc., Brandon Stone, had this to say about their continued success, “Since 1994, Trinity has always provided the best service at the most competitive price. However, when the recession hit, we had to make some concessions. These included among other things: foregoing annual rate increases, fewer office personnel, less discretionary spending and pay cuts for owners and executive management. We found that with smart business decisions, that would not adversely affect the service we provided our clients, we could survive the recession”.

Airbags, seat belts, car seats, hands free communication – each and every safety feature and gadget is designed to help you to avoid vehicle accidents and to keep you alive in the event of an accident. What most of us fail to think about is, what actually happens during an accident.
Granted, the seat belt will hopefully keep you from flying through the windshield and the car seat will keep your infant from being thrown into the back of your seat, but what are we forgetting? Oh, the toolbox sitting on the third row seat. Or the metal coffee cup in the cup holder. How about the Garmin stuck to your windshield or the emergency kit on the floorboard. More often than not, it’s not the accident itself that injures motorists. Seat belts, car seats and airbags do their job and typically provide an adequate level of protection. Unfortunately, it’s the common items found in every vehicle that become a 60 mph projectile at the time of impact that often cause the most injuries.

In the early 90′s, I spent three years living in Africa and Europe. During this time, I traveled extensively with several different airlines. Although the security procedures were always different in each country, they were all equally effective in portraying the highest level of security imaginable at that time. While flying out of Algeria, I quickly learned that no one was permitted to enter the airport until all luggage was thoroughly checked. Although time consuming, not one suitcase, bag or briefcase was left unchecked. Through the use of metal detectors, physical examinations and bomb sniffing dogs, I always felt comfortable in the fact that explosive devices (IEDs) would be found before they made their way into the airport.
In and out of Germany more times than I can count on both hands, the presence of heavily armed police officers and highly trained canines was always a constant reminder of the German’s intent to provide a safe environment. Italy, Spain and Tunisia were no exception. Just as their neighbors, they too believed that airline safety certainly justified a minor inconvenience. Although this was more than a decade before 9/11, terroristic threats was a daily occurrence in many of the countries I visited.

I recently read a blog post found at http://www.activistpost.com/2010/11/private-security-continues-to-invade.html and, although I don’t completely disagree with the writers opinion, thought it best to expound on his or her viewpoints.
I am both a police officer and an owner of a private security firm. For the past 16 years, I have provided businesses, individuals and communities with both security officers and off-duty law enforcement officers. These officers, regardless of their status as a sworn law enforcement officer or security officer, have always worked as a team to combat the threat posed by the criminal enterprise.

I recently returned from a week long vacation in Gatlinburg, TN. While there, and traveling to and from, I took notice of several security related issues that should be addressed by anyone while on vacation. They are as follows:
I. Prior to, or while on vacation, don’t post to your facebook page, twitter account, myspace, etc. that you’re on vacation. Just as you wouldn’t put a large sign in front of your house, notifying everyone you’re 800 miles away, you shouldn’t do the same on social networking sites. Sure it’s tempting to let all your friends know that you are about to have the time of your life, but what about those who aren’t really your friend, but just a statistic. Do you really want the Twitterverse to know that you won’t be home to stop them from entering your house?
