Crime Prevention & Personal Safety Instruction |
By definition, Crime Prevention is: "Being aware that a crime can occur, anticipating its form, location, time and victim, and taking action to reduce the chances of its happening." There are three elements the criminal must possess for a crime to occur:
Eliminate just one of these elements and no crime will take place. You have no control over the first two elements. Whether the criminal has the desire or ability to commit the crime is solely up to them. However, you can greatly control, if not actually eliminate, the third element - opportunity. |
Crime prevention is using instinct, common sense, and action to eliminate or greatly reduce the criminal's opportunity. A large share of the responsibility of reducing criminal opportunity lies with YOU! That is not to say that if you are a victim of crime it is your fault and the fault of the criminal... certainly not! But the fact remains that we all have a personal part to play regarding crime prevention. We offer a variety of training classes and seminars. These include Refuse To Be A Victim, Physical Self-Defense, Pepper Spray, Mini-Baton, Firearms, Safety for Seniors, Personal Safety for Teens, and Crime Prevention. We also offer Home and Business Security Assessments. A list of courses is found below. Contact us for more information or to set up a class. We can also arrainge to have an on-site residential or business security survey conducted.
