If you are a property manager at any residential building or community, you have seen that many of your tenants may have their cars adorned with these stickers. Did you know that some thieves and criminals use these stickers to gather a wealth of information about the driver/owner: when are they likely to be home? Are there valuables to be taken??? Consider re-posting this for your residents, and help us fight the criminal element that is, right now, trying to pick its next target. #security #MD #DC #VA #residentialproperty #propertymanager

At approximately 12:41 a.m., Stealth security professionals observed a suspicious individual loitering at a California office building’s courtyard before accessing the parking garage. Audible alarms were immediately activated, and local police dispatch was contacted with pertinent details due to the nature of the activity being observed. Monitoring operators could see responding officers arrive on the scene quickly, and an arrest was confirmed off-camera thanks to follow-up communication with dispatchers- all within 20 minutes. Surging crime in commercial real estate parking garages, particularly in California, has become a troubling trend, with a significant impact on office buildings. A study by the University of Pennsylvania Professor David S. Abrams indicated that personal property crime has decreased, but commercial property crime has risen, with commercial property burglaries increasing by almost 40% on average across various cities, including Los Angeles. The persistent shift to remote work has left some commercial buildings and their parking facilities more vulnerable, and the absence of visible security measures like cameras increases the likelihood of criminal activity. The presence of a few workers or managers in the office can also escalate risks if a trespasser is unaware that the building is occupied. Parking lots, by design, can attract criminal elements- and they are the third most common place where crimes happen, with 1 in 10 property crimes occurring in these areas. Annually, 2 million crimes happen in parking lots, leading to approximately $6 billion in property loss. Vehicle theft is particularly problematic, with the FBI noting a car is stolen every 32 seconds, and parking facilities present a higher risk for this type of crime compared to street parking. As a property owner, ensuring a secure environment for your tenants, their clients, and vehicles is a top priority. But traditional security cameras that passively record offer limited protection. Their footage can be difficult to access and may fail to clearly capture suspects.  On-site security guards provide another option, but high costs and human limitations like inattention and limited viewpoints reduce their effectiveness.     That’s why Stealth’s proactive live video monitoring is the smarter solution. Our customized systems allow real-time monitoring and rapid response to suspicious activities as they occur. Highly trained professionals observe your property and can sound alarms to deter trespassers. If needed, they can quickly contact law enforcement with detailed, up-to-the-minute descriptions that enable a faster and more effective response.     #CRE #commercialrealestate #security #livevideomonitoring #office #industrial #retail #multitenant #businesspark #shoppingcenter For more Arrest Videos, see an extensive library on our website: https://t.ly/w9jGf

Police have issued a critical warning to residents due to a concerning rise in car thefts. The latest trend in burglaries involves thieves targeting homes specifically to steal car keys and vehicles. The severity of this issue is underlined by national data: In 2022 alone, nearly 200,000 thefts from vehicles were reported across the UK. This marked an 8% increase from 2021, highlighting a growing challenge for communities and law enforcement. 📊 The most alarming spike was observed in Avon and Somerset, with a 48% increase in vehicle thefts, followed by significant surges in Warwickshire and Northumbria. 👮♀️ In response, the Be Home Safe team and local Neighbourhood Watch are stepping up efforts, while police conduct follow-up visits to support victims. A dedicated investigative team is also pursuing all leads. The evolving tactics of modern car thieves, often part of organised gangs, necessitate a robust and multilayered approach.

Public Safety Software News: Park Pushes for Real-Time Crime Centers in Response to Crime Spike Amid a surge in property crime and retail theft, Councilwoman Traci Park is urging the Las Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to develop a plan for setting up Real-Time Crime Centers in all 21 of the city's police divisions. Park introduced a motion on Wednesday that aims to broaden the scope of a pilot program that's already seeing success in Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, and Van Nuys through the use of advanced surveillance technologies, including Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) and CCTV systems. The initiative stems from a noticeable increase in criminal activities in Park's district, highlighted by more than 50 car burglaries in just one weekend and numerous commercial robberies on the Westside. "The Westside has been acutely impacted by property crime and retail theft, leaving residents and businesses devastated," Park stated, emphasizing the necessity of adopting technological solutions to safeguard the community. The effectiveness of Real-Time Crime Centers has been proven in other cities, such as Beverly Hills, where its Real Time Watch Center, established in 2022, played a crucial role in capturing a suspect charged with the murder of three unhoused individuals and a Los Angeles County government employee in December 2023. Further supporting this initiative, the Los Angeles City Council's Public Safety Committee has approved $15 million in state funding to procure ALPRs and create an integrated video technology platform, setting the stage for the widespread adoption of Real-Time Crime Centers throughout Los Angeles. #RTCC #realtimecrimecenter #LAPD #lasangeles #publicsafety #publicsafetysoftware #publicsafetytechnology #crime #crimeprevention Read the article here--> https://hubs.li/Q02nhpn90
