Look at the headlines we are constantly bombarded with 'Crime Shows Biggest Increase For A Decade', 'One In Three Of All Police Stations Has Been Shut Down', 'Six Out Of Ten Police Stations Are Only Open Office Hours', 'Beaten, Robbed & Traumatised, But Police Tell Mugging Victim We Cannot Help', 'Terrorists Will Target The UK & USA'.

The time has come when we should all be considering how we can protect ourselves in the light of these worrying trends. Do we need to improve our car security, install or upgrade home security systems, even install surveillance cameras, perhaps hidden or disguised and perhaps arm ourselves with personal alarms or sprays?

Remember also that crimes can and do occur at :- places of work, in schools, universities and colleges, hotels, on the street, in the car, on public transport, in fact almost anywhere, as well as at home.

As far back as 2002, surveys carried out by 'Experian'(research company), estimated that 36% (17 million people suffered at the hands of thieves, fraudsters and vandals), of the adult population in the UK were victims of crime. Reports from police forces back up these figures.

As if this wasn't bad enough, our police forces are under manned and bogged down with paper work, political correctness and bureaucracy, not to mention the time spent catching and nicking many thousands of speeding motorists each year. The chances of the police even attending a crime scene (unless it involves a motorist), yet alone catching the criminal is diminishing.

How many people do you know personally that have been victims of crime, some several times. You may even have been a victim yourself? We know many who have been victims, including family members. Most of these people unfortunately only beefed up their security precautions after they had become victims. Until then they thought, like many of you 'it won't happen to us' or 'the insurance will cover it'.

REMEMBER - insurance won't: replace a life, repair a badly injured body or replace items of sentimental value.

Once people become victims themselves they normally act extremely quickly to improve their protection, by installing alarms, cameras and safes and wish they had done so earlier.

To do this you need the most up to date information, techniques and or products that are currently available to keep you one step ahead of the criminals wherever possible.
