This area is one the largest security concerns for apartment dweller's today. It has been the birth of more violations than any other area in the multi-housing family. It's knowingly the easiest way for a thief to gain entry.

Make Security your Business
by Frank Fourchalk
Saturday, February 25, 2006

When I do a small business security check, I always start with the exterior of the building checking the fences, gates, walls and entrances for upkeep. It is important business owners maintain these crucial areas. A run down building exterior with lots of obstacles and materials lying around can be an invitation to a burglar.

Break-ins to parkades have always been and always will be a problem amongst apartment dwellers. How we deal with these unmonitored areas is up to the individual buildings owners and of course their fiscal budget.

Don't forget about the glass
by Frank Fourchalk
Monday, January 23, 2006

What's the sense in securing your doors and windows when all a burglar has to do is smash the glass to gain entry? Securing your windows must not only include securing the casings that hold the window, it must also include the glass. 

Safety in numbers

If we want to speed up the response time from our emergency professionals, whether it be fire, police or ambulance we need to take some initiative which starts with installing well lit house numbers.

Make home security a priority

If you're thinking of building a new home, make sure you take the time to design your home security system.

'Tis the season to be safe

The holiday season conjures up images of homes beautifully decorated, inside and out - homes that display Christmas trees with colored lights, silver tinsel, glitter balls and candy canes.

Reducing the chances of becoming a victim at Christmas
by Earl Fletcher
Thursday, December 8, 2005

The Christmas holiday season is now upon us and it is good time to remind people to take preventative steps to make sure the criminals dont spoil your Christmas. This time of year is when the criminal makes the most of the opportunities that are afforded to them by the extra shopping, the hustle and bustle of town centers as we all rush around, and the enormous value of items that we purchase as presents and store in our homes until the big day arrives. We might also be more trusting and generous at Christmas when requests for charity are made, giving the unscrupulous people a chance to collect for their own causes. So what can we do to prevent us from becoming a Christmas victim?

by Frank Fourchalk
Sunday, November 20, 2005

Before investing in a new home, you need to take a serious look at the demographics of where you and your family will be living.

After checking schools, shopping and hospital locations, it's time to find out if your future neighborhood is a safe investment.

Keep your overhead garage door safe and secure
by Frank Fourchalk
Monday, October 31, 2005

As I conducted a recent home-security evaluation, the homeowner informed me he had four outside doors. When I asked if that included the overhead garage door, he replied, "I don't consider the overhead garage door an outside door."

Climbing into the mind of a burglar
by Frank Fourchalk
Monday, October 31, 2005

Chances are you know someone who has had their home burglarized, or perhaps you have been a victim of a home burglary yourself.

Back-up communication a necessity
by Frank Fourchalk
Thursday, October 20, 2005

If you're paying monitoring fees for your home alarm system and don't know what a cellular or radio back-up is, you could be wasting your money. Get in the know, by contacting your alarm company and ask about their " line cut protection " options.

Canada Post must take initiative

In a report to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada and the Attorney General of the United States prepared in October 2004 by the Bi-national Working Group on Cross-Border Mass Marketing Fraud, it is stated that identity thieves have been known to break into collection boxes to steal outgoing mail from residential mailboxes.

Vandals and burglars from within
by Frank Fourchalk
Saturday, September 24, 2005

If we want to stay ahead of the criminal element, we must be able to deal with modern day spins associated with theft and vandalism. Its not just about the burglar or vandal who lurks around in the night shadows awaiting their next victim.

Lending house key a dangerous practice
by Frank Fourchalk
Wednesday, September 7, 2005

Lending your house key to someone is placing your largest investment and its contents right in the palm of that person's hand.

Think twice before indiscriminately granting access to everything you own. Don't feel pressured by overzealous tradesmen, caregivers, housekeepers or do-good neighbours to hand out your key.

House sitters can help keep home secure
by Frank Fourchalk
Wednesday, August 31, 2005

Leaving a house unoccupied often or for a long stretch is one of the biggest risk factors for getting burglarized.

So if you're thinking of taking an extended vacation or plan to leave your home unattended for several weeks, why not consider a house-sitter? A house-sitter is a person who lives in and cares for a house while the regular occupant is away.

Condo security needs revamping
by Frank Fourchalk
Thursday, August 11, 2005

If you're thinking of purchasing an apartment unit in a new condominium building, you better make sure the builder's main attribute is initiative. Because in to-days world initiative might be the only thing keeping you and your family safe from the bad guys.

Watch out for 'creeping charlie' in garden
by Frank Fourchalk
Wednesday, July 27, 2005

With gardening in full swing, green thumbs are quite often fixated on cutting lawns, pruning shrubs, fertilizing the garden, or monitoring dreaded weeds like "Creeping Charlie."

Locks vs Alarms
by Frank Fourchalk
Wednesday, July 13, 2005

With the emphasis now a-days leaning on good home security, where do we go from here? Many lock experts are telling us that locks are the priority, since we want to discourage an intruder before he or she makes their grand entrance. 

Wants outweigh security needs for homebuyers
by Frank Fourchalk
Friday, July 8, 2005

Good security should be an essential factor when purchasing your new home. Buying decisions are quite often made on the size of kitchens or bathrooms with little consideration given to the importance of a good home security package.

As a security consultant, it's hard for me to comprehend that homebuyers are more interested in crown moldings than a practical home security system. Priorities need to be reassessed by new home purchasers to make a significant difference in crime statistics.

War against crime starts with T.L.C.
by Frank Fourchalk
Friday, June 24, 2005

When I talk about T.L.C. I'm referring to Teaching, Learning and Communicating collectively as a lethal weapon in the war against crime. If we want to put a different spin on crime statistics we must take the time to educate ourselves and others by acknowledging the T.L.C. mindset.

Burglars bank on your blunders
by Frank Fourchalk
Saturday, June 11, 2005

With the nice weather upon us, we seem to fall into this mindset that the bad guys are in hibernation. Winters over, the coast is clear, so lets throw open all the doors and windows. A burglary isn't going to happen to me, it's just too nice outside!

Postal Lock Timers are a good way to thwart thieves
by Frank Fourchalk
Tuesday, May 31, 2005

There was a break-in at an apartment building. The residents couldn't figure out how the thieves penetrated the security. There were no signs of forcible entry and the apartment owners ruled out the culprit as being a building key in the wrong hands.

Haste beckons thieves
by Frank Fourchalk
Saturday, May 14, 2005

How many more cars are the bad guys going to steal? How may more homes are thieves going to add to their roster of conquests? How many more headaches are we going to suffer before we finally realize that we do have a choice. A choice that may mean shifting from reverse to drive in the common sense department.
