Preventing Crime Is everyone's responsibility

I guess it's human for people today to be in a make believe world of their
own, safe and secure, families living happy, healthy and successful. Nothing
wrong with a happy family life, we all want such. True reality of life after
September 11th is too much to fathom for Americans over three hundred
million populace. We look at our little individual worlds as a safe haven
far from crime and terrorist attacks!

Until someone in our family circle is a victim of crime! Then the world of
reality strikes hard, with no natural affection, love, kindness, goodness
present and panic set's in! Security and safety is gone suddenly, just like
a raging storm! Like a tornado with no wall, tower, thing or person to stop
it's powerful surge smashing your make believe world to pieces!

The police made their report, after they arrived, responding to a security
department's call for help. They investigate and take statements from
witnesses (If there was any), then make their report. They tell the victim/s
that they will do what they can to find the criminal/s involved. That's all
they can do. And they are doing their jobs well. No shame should fall on our
Criminal Justice system's Vanguard, the police. They are a re-active crime
control agency.

If the crime was at a Shopping mall, Hospital, University or office complex,
chances are, the corporate owners are afraid the liability risk is much to
high to give their security departments the right tools they need to prevent
such crimes against your family. They implement a strict policy of hands
off, when it comes to preventing crime! They are told to call the police if
there is something that may cause an interruption in the peace and public
safety. The owners even go as far as telling store keepers in the shopping
malls to call the police directly, and do not call security, for they are
wasting time going through the security thinking that the malls security can
prevent a crime!

However! This entity (Security) is the only entity that has the before,
during, and after the fact premise to be successful in preventing crime and
terrorist attacks. The police are usually at a scene after the fact! Please,
we are not saying the police are not needed! For they must be in place
working with security to complete the circle of preponderate to fight crime!

So what happens when these sequence of scenes take place at this present
time in American history? we then have in the end result, many frustrated
people! The victim/s, their families, the security, the police, the owners,
the politicians, and the public! For the crime was not prevented! And then
everyone looks at the police and security, and say, where were you guys?

Does the Homeland Security department encourage the owners of these
complexes, Shopping malls, Hospitals, Universities/College

s and office
complexes to give their security people the tools to prevent crime instead
of just responding to these problems? Do they encourage law makers to change
the laws to help private and governmental security people to Prevent Crime
instead of acting like police, and just respond to a crime in progress? The
five students killed when a gunman opened fire in a lecture hall at Northern
Illinois University Thursday ( 2-14-08) in the afternoon were at college to
begin building their dreams. And please don't forget those Virginia State
Tech. students had their dreams shattered to.

I believe this problem will continue, until the American People realize that
crime prevention must have the Before factor to work! Security must be
looked at in totally unique way, and must be developed to prevent these
issues. Security must have the rights and duty to investigate before hand
all connected to the Universities and other schools. Security must be able
to detect before hand, these troubled people and be able to stop such
bloodshed ! Security must not be an operation that mainly shows a reactive
response. Security must have the high tech systems in place to detect issues
that relate to prevention!

In essence, we as American citizens continue to ignore facts. Facts that
will hit you right in the face, at any moment! You want more crime
prevention? Then supply the before factor that will ultimately prevent your
family from being the next victims in universities/college

s, hospitals,
Shopping Malls and other complexes.

My research that started in 1968, shows that our communities could benefit
greatly if large complexes would take the responsibility of preventing their
own inevitable crime and terrorist attacks! Folks our front lines are not
secure!

We have space age technology today that would boggle the minds of all
Americans! This 21fst century technology is barely used in America, but, if
it was, security would use it to prevent crime! You'd be surprised how much
of this technology isn't being used in shopping malls, hospitals,
universities/college

s and other complexes. It would put you in panic mode,
and I could prove it! I am very concerned when my family visits these
complexes knowing what I do about their security as it is now. Security at
present time will not prevent crime! They can not! Security in most places
act and operate as police departments with no authority. The technology they
have in most places is not helping them to prevent! They really have no
detective departments investigating complaints and researching problem
issues. Social workers are not working closely with security to prevent what
happen at those schools.

In hospitals, there are so many crimes covered up that if you knew you'd
also be concerned as I am. Look what happen at Virginia Tech., and Northern
Illinois something I say should never happen, especially when it is proven
that it could have truly been prevented, after everyone made their
investigations. Everyone seems to say, "Well we should have done this, or
that!". Yes! I say yes, we should! Investigations seem to only be after the
fact! Why? Why not do the investigations Before the fact!

I know it is human to live in your family make believe worlds, the safe
haven we all need just to keep from becoming depressed over the September
11th reality of things. But, when it comes to preventing crime and terrorist
attacks at the frontline level, somebody needs to do something, and soon!

I know that there are many other security people and police out in America
that sees what I see. Please! Pass this article on to everyone you can, and
maybe, just maybe, we could prevent a family from experiencing crime!

Preventing crime and terrorist attacks is the responsibility of all
Americans! Especially the corporations that own these big complexes that
draw large crowds! Terrorist attacks will be centered on these areas! And
some entity needs to prevent crime! Not just respond to it!

I pray that the media grabs my article and runs with it so things change in
security for America, before you, and your family experience crime! My
family is dear to me to, and if any of my family members experience crime,
knowing what I know about crime prevention, it would cut my heart deep! It's
like a medical doctor who can't save his family member at a crime scene
because his hands are forced tied!

Everybody worries about the liability risk of any operation. The Cities
worry about their police putting them in a high liability risk when acting
in a physical way. Shopping Malls and other complexes worry about their
security acting in such a way that it would put them in a high liability
risk and that's why they play it safe insisting that security have a hands
off policy! But, what they don't understand is, that you could be putting
yourself in a higher liability risk for not putting hands on! For a crime
could be committed before the police get there, after security calls the
police! As time ticks onward I foresee lawyers winning cases against these
complexes for not having security that would prevent crime against your
family while shopping in their mall or place of business. My heart goes out
to all the families who have lost love ones in crime! I just wish people
would hear what I have to say about stopping crime at Universities! Every
time I hear about crime at another school it makes me upset! Security must,
yes, must prevent crime, it's their responsibility, so give them the things
they need to do it.

I wrote a book published July 2005, and the American Book Publishing Company
of UTAH took it out of print for lack of sale. Yes. Nobody knows what my
research (since 1968) and investigation on crime prevention and public
safety and security is, and therefore missing out on the many years of hard
work.

America, Wake Up!
