Mere Presence of Security No Longer Equals Protection
With ever-increasing frequency, news headlines remind us of the proliferation of workplace violence, brazen theft, and active shooter tragedies in the marketplace. As a result, public and private organizations throughout the country find themselves painfully aware of their vulnerabilities, yet woefully unprepared to protect their people, products and places of business.
For example, the time-worn tradition of having little more than a public presence of security guards - while once a fairly effective means of mitigating threats - no longer provides assurance of protection of the organization’s assets.
First, as simple as it sounds, an organization-wide commitment is the key to the success of your security initiatives. Paying lip-service to your security efforts is a virtual guarantee of failure. Next, developing a comprehensive strategy that leverages a full measure of your organization's resources and tactics is essential. All too often we initially find a client’s tactical assets to be little more than a disjointed collection of “latest and greatest” cameras, access control devices, etc. - without a strategic plan to implement them.
As certified experts in the security/defense field and having counseled countless organizations - including churches, school systems and business owners – we can confidently state that you need not feel unprepared and vulnerable any longer. In tandem with your current strengths and assets, our iDefend team can customize and implement a targeted, cost-effective Emergency Action Defense Plan that will provide the protection you need for your organization.
Our practical, easy-to-use Emergency Action Guides, include proactive, counter-measures we integrate seamlessly into your organization’s culture and will be wholeheartedly welcomed by your members.
