Security awareness

A recent bulletin by a large city police department reinforced what we've been teaching at Bane-Clene Institute for more than thirty years. The public is very security conscious, and are being warned by public officials to be careful who they let into their homes.

In the bulletin, the police said, "Install good dead bolt locks, a wide angle viewer and use it whenever anyone knocks at your door or rings your doorbell. Do not open your door to strangers. Ask for identification and if in doubt call their company."

Home invasions are on the rise. Those of us in the service industry should understand the security consciousness of the public. Drive a clean, well-lettered vehicle, wear a distinctive uniform and have an authentic identification badge visible. These efforts will help belay some of the fears that are prevalent in many people today.
