4064240610?profile=originalPublic Security LLC advises the public not to be deceived into believing that security cameras make you safe.
If you search youtube, you can find countless murders, sexual assaults, robberies and abductions all taking place in the face of a security camera. The cameras did a great job documenting the attacks, but didn't stop the attacks. Criminals know to simply wear a mask and it is business as usual. 
 
Current public opinion is that once a security camera is installed, they don't have to worry about crime. Security cameras are an excellent supplement and tool. It should be part of your security plan. It should never be your entire security plan and only tool that you are depending on. 
 
There are security cameras at the White House and other high risk locations.  Without an armed protective force protecting those locations, would those cameras stop anyone? The simple answer is "No". It is the same for your venue or event. 
 
Clients need armed private security officers to respond to threats against the public. Security Officers take the focus off innocent victims and draw the attention of criminals to them. This allows innocents to flee during an active shooter scenario that we are seeing so often these days nationwide.
 
Chances are, once you have armed Security Officers on your site, criminals will choose a softer target, one without armed security.

Public Security LLC recommends that home owner associations budget for private security service every year. It is an important part of their business plan and budgeting in todays violent world.  

Private security should be armed in order to be an effective deterrent to criminal activity and to protect you just in case.

Barry Donadio, President of the protective firm, stated " We are coming across more and more home owner associations that are encountering an increased need for private security, but they had failed to budget for it." 

Private security is expensive, but it is becoming a need in residential communities.  Mr. Donadio went on to say " Security cameras are not enough and do not stop crime. Cameras document the crimes as they are being committed, but they don't stop the crime. " " An armed deterrent to criminal activity speaks louder than words and has a capability to deter and intervine."

Mr. Donadio is a former member of the U.S. Secret Service and served at the White House during the Bush and Obama Administrations. He is considered an expert in national security and anti-terrorist matters.

He cautions potential clients that spending money on the lowest bidder when it comes to their safety and security is not in their best interests. Beware of rock bottom, low price Security Officers. They may be more of a liability than a help to you.

Before using a private security company, investigate a security company and its owner before you use them for your protection. Make sure they have all the necessary licensing and training to suit your needs. Professionalism provided by a company is very important, but being able to trust a security company and its is paramount. 4064244121?profile=original
