Security ONE teams up with Drouillard Place Press Release

PRESS RELEASE

Local security company Security ONE teams up with Drouillard Place and the Ford City Neighborhood Renewal Program         

May. 10, 2012 – (Windsor, ON) The local media, Ford City businesses, and residents are invited to a Press Conference at the Gino & Liz Marcus Community Centre located at 1168 Drouillard Rd., on Tue. May 15 at 3:30PM.  Local security company, Security ONE Alarms will be on hand to announce its partnership with Drouillard Place and their Ford City Neighbourhood Renewal Program (FCNR), coming on board as the sole sponsor of the Project’s “Clean Team”.  This press conference will mark the kick-off of the “Clean Team” and their first neighbourhood clean sweep. Clean Team members will be in attendance.

The Drouillard Place Teen Centre “Clean Team” will hit the streets of Ford City every week armed with garbage bags and elbow grease in an effort to maintain the cleanliness of neighbourhood streets and parks. Security ONE’s sole sponsorship makes possible the purchase of supplies, matching T-Shirts, and hot meals for participating youth. As part of its sponsorship, Security ONE will also become a participant in the City of Windsor’s Adopt-A-Street program, adopting Drouillard Road along with Drouillard Place.

FCNR Community Development Coordinator, Karlene Nielsen, says a clean neighbourhood is always a priority for residents, business owners, and community members in Ford City, it is finding the time to get out there and clean that is the difficulty. “With Security ONE as the sole sponsor, this program will now enable local youth to find that time and contribute to the overall beautification of the neighbourhood,” Nielsen said. “Over 15 neighbourhood youths will engage in weekly neighbourhood clean sweeps along Drouillard Road.

We are very proud to support a program that works to give its community real peace of mind.”

Violent Home Invasion in Toronto Reinforces Importance of Home Invasion Safety

A 53-year-old man has been arrested by Toronto police after a violent home invasion near Bloor West Village. The man allegedly broke into a home armed with a knife and hammer. Inside the home was a 64-year-old woman and her 89-year old mother.

It is reported that the man slashed the 64-year-old with a knife and demanded money from the residents. He then left the home with an undisclosed amount of money. The daughter was treated at the hospital for her wound. The mother had become ill during the alleged attack and was also sent to hospital.

Home Invasion Robbers vs. Traditional Burglars

Home invasion robbers are more dangerous than other burglars because they want a confrontation, use violence, and do not feel they are pressed for time to get out of your home immediately. In contrast, traditional burglars operate when a resident is not home because they want to avoid a confrontation and usually will flee when approached. Alarm signs and decals, strong locks and doors, big dogs and alert neighbors can sometimes deter a traditional burglar. Most incidents of burglary do not result in violence, even when the burglar is discovered. This is not the case with home invasion robbers.

Why Home Invasions?

Home invasion incidents are escalating because the traditional targets of convenience stores and fast food restaurants are harder to attack with affordable video surveillance systems, silent alarms and other anti-crime deterrent devices. Robbing a residence while the residents are home is more lucrative. Unlike robbing a convenience store, home invaders will most likely have privacy once inside your home and won’t have to deal with the police suddenly driving up or customers walking in. These offenders can rely on an ample period of time to escape from the crime scene.

Some Prevention Steps

The same tactics used to prevent burglaries will go a long way to preventing a home invasion robbery. If you can delay a home invader at the point of entry, then you have a chance of deterring them or have time to call the police.

• Do not open the door without question at the sound of a knock.
• Use the door peephole before opening the door. If you do not have a peephole, have one installed.
• If you are not expecting a package, delivery or service call do not answer the door. Insist that the deliverer provide you with verbal verification of his employment and call the company to confirm that the deliverer’s impromptu visit is legitimate. Your front door should remain closed and locked!
• Never rely on a chain-latch as a barrier to partially open the door; a home invader will kick in the door.
• A solid core door, strong locks with reinforced strike plates, and reinforced window devices will help to stop most forced entries. Keep doors, garage doors and windows locked at all times, even when you are home. Keep porches and all entrances well lit, i.e., driveways, garages and alleys.
• Check bulbs regularly
• Arm your security system (if you have one) even when you are home. This is a common mistake homeowners make and home invasion robbers know it.
• Add panic buttons to your security system and place them around your home so you can alert the proper authorities from any location in your home.
• Call the police if you see a stranger acting suspiciously.
• Alert your neighbors to suspicious solicitors.
• Hold a family meeting to discuss home security plans. The best defense against home invasion is education and planning.
• Consider building or designating a safe room inside your home to allow your family to retreat or escape potential violence while giving them valuable time to call the police.

Security ONE Alarm Systems Receives Life Safety Award

Security ONE was recognized at the 22nd annual 2011 Convention as a First Alert Professional dealer whose actions result in lives being saved; Company embraces the life safety message and promotes it to their customers

Security ONE Alarm Systems, Southwestern Ontario’s only locally owned and operated monitoring facility, was honoured at the Honeywell First Alert Professional 2011 Convention with the Life Safety Award. Members of Honeywell’s First Alert Professional dealer network assembled November 10-13 in Scottsdale, Arizona for the 22nd annual convention focused on innovative technologies and services. Security ONE was recognized as a dealer whose actions result in lives being saved.

The life safety incident Security ONE was nominated for was when a central station operator helped a senior citizen in a medical emergency. The company helps protect seniors with Security ONE Alert, a personal emergency response system that will connect them to emergency help 24 hours a day. Seniors who have a medical condition or live alone can benefit from Security ONE Alert. Within a matter of seconds of pressing their pendent, trained Security ONE personnel respond, notify emergency contacts and stay on the line until assistance arrives.

On Mar 28, 2011 at 11:49am, a senior resident of Essex, ON felt discomfort in his lower back and activated his medic alert. The medic customer was connected with a Security ONE dispatcher, who dispatched an ambulance at 11:51am. The medic customer had suffered from an aneurysm but received the medical attention they needed to recover and was later released from the ICU.

Life safety is the cornerstone of Honeywell’s program, and Security ONE was honoured to be the recipient of the award. As a security company, Security ONE has the resources to save lives. By installing monitored security, fire detection, and medical alert systems, Security ONE helps to protect against the threats of crime, fire, and medical emergencies.

Another key component of the Life Safety Award was to recognize the First Alert Professional dealer who incorporates the life safety message into their company’s philosophy.

Security ONE embraces the life safety message and promotes it their customers. Sales people instill the life safety message with each customer they visit. A bi-monthly eNewsletter, the News Alert, emphasizes the value of life safety, through topics such as safety procedures for home invasion and fires, identify theft, internet safety, cyberbullying, poison control, and personal safety for children, adults and seniors.
