Are You Prepared? The Reality of Police Response Times and the Need for Proactive Security Measures:
🔴 Police response times during an emergency average five minutes. Is that enough? 🔴
When it comes to protecting your community, business, or organization, it's crucial to ask the hard questions and face the realities of potential threats. Here are some critical questions to consider:
How do your current security measures protect you against incidents or threats from occurring?
Who will stop an active assailant if the proper security measures are not in place?
Are you just relying on the police, hoping they arrive in time?
Do you believe it will never happen to you?
The Reality of Response Times
The unfortunate truth is that police cannot be everywhere at once. On average, it takes about five minutes for the first officer to arrive on the scene of an emergency. In those crucial minutes:
Is that officer familiar with your location?
Do they know the layout and how to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible?
Can they effectively respond to the threat immediately upon arrival?
The Need for Proactive Security
All too often, schools, churches, and businesses that have suffered from active shooter situations believed it would never happen to them. We need to shift this mindset and start asking ourselves the tough questions:
Are you prepared?
Is your company, business, corporation, or organization protected?
Do you have the ability to respond within seconds to an active threat, fire, natural disaster, or terrorist attack?
It’s time to stop saying, "It will never happen to us," and start asking, "If it does happen, are we prepared to handle the situation with minimal damage?"
Enhancing Your Security Protocols
To improve our security protocols and response times, we need to be more proactive. Here are some steps to consider:
Evaluate Your Current Security Measures: Identify any shortcomings in your current security setup.
Develop and Implement Drills: Regularly conduct drills to ensure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.
Partner with Professional Security Services: Hiring a professional security company can significantly enhance your preparedness. These companies train on your property, develop customized drills, and work to prevent, detect, and deter threats.
