Home Whether you are at home,
in your car or at work, you may be a potential target for crime. First Alert
Professional Security Systems has a booklet called "How to Make A Habit of
Personal Safety". Developed with the National Crime Prevention Council,
this brochure provides over 150 tips designed to ensure the personal safety
of your family, including information on burglary prevention, car theft and
street sense. Click on the following
for some valuable excerpts. Trim shrubs back to avoid
giving burglars cover. Keep garages and sheds closed and locked at all times.
When advertising valuable items for sale, give only your phone number, not
your street address. Do not leave doors unlocked while working in the yard.
Consider installing an electronic security system to monitor for burglary,
fire and personal emergency. If you park in a
commercial garage or lot, always leave just the ignition key with the
attendant. Do not park near a van, which can block an assault from the view
of others. From 20 to 30 feet away from your car, look underneath it. As you
prepare to enter, look in the back seat and to the side. Some power doors
unlock all locks simultaneously, so lock doors immediately. If you are
grabbed by an assailant, toss the keys as far as you can. This way, the
assailant will typically go for the keys and not force you into the car. Know the neighbourhoods
where you live and work. Check locations of police and fire stations, public
telephones, hospitals, restaurants, gas stations or stores that are open
late. Use automated teller machines in the daylight. Don't wear headphones
while walking or jogging. If you think someone is following you when you are
in your car, don't head home. Drive to the nearest police or fire station or
open business to get help.
Running a business
requires long hours and dedication. At First Alert Professional, we realize
these demands because our authorized dealers own and operate their companies.
Hand-picked for their commitment to customer service, each dealer is
extremely knowledgeable about the best ways to secure your facility.
A First Alert
Professional Security System assists your company in protecting your business
and your employees. From burglar and fire alarms to closed-circuit
television, these quality products include the most innovative features in
the industry
The partitioning
capabilities of our systems will help you secure expensive merchandise.
Partitioning lets you protect designated areas without affecting other
locations. For example, you may have an office/warehouse where your office
staff leaves at 5:00 but the warehouse works late. Partitioning lets you keep
the offices armed without securing the warehouse. back

Many of our commercial
systems identify the exact point of alarm. In an area with eight doors, the
system can identify the precise door that is faulted and notify the central
station. When the police are armed with this information, they can act
swiftly to capture the intruder. This is also a life-saving benefit in a fire
emergency, because fire-fighters will know the exact point of origin. back to top
Our fire detection
systems let you comply with your local fire regulations. UL approved manual
pull stations allow personnel to manually activate the sensing equipment,
which sends the signal to the central station. We also offer a variety of
supervised smoke detectors, including wireless smokes, for more complex
installations. Our waterflow supervisory systems will help to eliminate
costly water damage since it alerts the central station whenever water begins
to flow through a sprinkler. back to top
To help protect against
external and internal theft, use our affordable video surveillance. We can
provide as many cameras as you need to secure your facility and concentrate
on highly vulnerable areas. For example, if you want to provide tighter
security for your stock room, the system can display that location on the
monitor every time someone enters the area. You can also record activity by
incorporating a VCR. back to top Every business is unique
and so are your security concerns. To determine the most effective system for
your business, please contact A.E.S. Systems.
In today's society, it is
becoming increasingly difficult to keep our children safe. There is now
information available to help you express to your children the ways to keep
them protected. A community service program sponsored by First Alert
Professional Security Systems in conjunction with the National Crime
Prevention Council is offering a booklet entitled "McGruff Safe Kids
Identification Kit, A Fun Way to Family Safety". In an entertaining
manner that kids can understand, this booklet presents some life-saving
information. Booklet contains a
valuable personal identification section, complete with a fingerprinting kit,
to help you keep an up-to-date file on your child. This booklet contains
many valuable points that will help you to teach your kids how to prevent
trouble from occurring. Since the McGruff¨ character is one that many
children are familiar with, they should accept the information contained in
the booklet without becoming frightened. Here are a few
points mentioned in the booklet:
·
Point
out areas that might not be safe. Play a game called "What if" by
using pretend situations to help them decide how to react in a real
emergency. Show them which houses they should go to if they need help. ·
Don't
let your children go to a shopping center by themselves. ·
Your
children should avoid public restrooms unless they are with a trusted adult.
If your children should become lost inside a store or shopping center, tell
them to go to a nearby clerk or security guard for help. ·
It's
best not to let your children wear clothing or carry articles with their
names on them. ·
A
stranger may pretend to know them by calling their name and acting like a
friend.
Here is a list of
important steps to take to help ensure your child's safety:
·
Do
you have a family safety plan, including a secret password? ·
Could
you give the police a complete description of your child, so specific that
the child would be immediately recognizable? Do you keep a current photograph
of your child on hand? ·
Do
you know what your child was wearing when he or she left the house? ·
Do
you use check-in procedures so you always know where your child is? ·
Do
you know the route(s) your child uses to get to and from school or their
friends homes? ·
Have
you taken a "safety walk" with your children over routes they often
travel, so as to agree on hazards to be avoided and preferred and alternate
routes? ·
Have
you explained to your child what a stranger is? ·
Have
you talked with you child about what to do if approached by a stranger? Can
your child explain it in his or her own words? ·
Do
you know your children's friends and their parents' names and phone numbers? The more you communicate with your child and give careful thought to the questions raised above, the more you will increase your family's safety. |
