Secure Protect:

Recent trends have shown a dramatic rise in the demand for crime deterrent and intervention technologies. This trend has a direct relationship to the economic hardships that have become increasingly dire for most countries in the developed world. http://www.exampleessays.com/viewpaper/20348.html While previous decades enjoyed greater economic prosperity, business and homeowners were somewhat relaxed about security measures. In today's economy, where over thirty-percent of profit dollars are being lost to shrinkage (theft) preventative security measures have become a necessity. The Retail Council of Canada cites that electronic surveillance technologies are the most effective methods of reducing theft crimes.   Companies must spend more money on surveillance equipment, training, and the legal costs associated with theft. ]

This trend has directly resulted in higher prices to the consumer  Increased shoplifting is causing an increase in supplier costs which in turn could result in higher prices for consumers

Mark Smyth of Secure Protect in Toronto, a security solutions consultant and systems integration service provider has commented that the nature of theft crimes has been radically transformed over the past ten years. He cites an instance where criminals rammed a truck into a store wall, cracking the concrete wall slab to breach a window for an access and egress route. The thieves could have just broken the glass to gain access without risking a broken axle and a clean getaway, but the thieves were making a statement about their tenacity to overcome even a concrete barrier. Regrettably, although the store burglar alarm system initiated a police dispatch to the crime scene, only a budget CCTV Video Camera Security System gave a glimpse of the actual crime, as the thieves were long gone by the time law enforcement arrived. http://www.secureprotect.ca/index.html

It's not just theft anymore, says Smyth, safety, harassment and violence in the workplace and the threat of home invasion is shaping our future, a future of getting used to the need to exist under the ever watchful eyes of integrated surveillance technologies.

In today's asset protection paradigm, says Smyth, security strategies need to be integrative, having at least two layers, perimeter and floor zones, using decent quality reliable technologies instead of the imitation disposable security toys that have flooded the marketplace with their attractive price tags.

Sadly, we are unsafe unless under surveillance in our modern world. But this is the reality, one that is unlikely to change anytime soon, says Smyth.
