LOS ANGELES, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A May 1 article at Westword provides detailed
information on which parts of Denver suffered the most incidents of criminal
activity during the first three weeks of April. The information
comes in the wake of an overall increase in crime during the spring
of 2017. Areas with the highest number of reported illegal acts,
ranging from larceny and aggravated assault to public disorder and
offenses related to drugs and alcohol, were led by Five Points and Civic Center. United
Protective Services LLC, a security firm, says that owners and
managers of properties located in higher crime areas may need to be
particularly careful to employ every practical means to assure the
safety of property and people. However, the firm adds that doesn't
mean that businesses located in less crime prone areas are not
vulnerable to all kinds of issues.
The fact of the matter is that there is always at least the
small possibility of a crime pretty much anywhere a property may be
located. Indeed, the vast majority of illegal acts are what most
people would consider petty violations that can happen almost
anywhere, but they can still pose a real threat, says United
Protective Services. While none of us tremble at the thought of
youngsters attempting a "five finger discount" to procure a candy
bar or soda, minor losses can add up over time and present a major
problem for owners of mom-and-pop shops and big box stores alike.
The same applies to even relatively benign vandalism, says the
security firm. After all, even if the perpetrator is not posting a
gang tag but just "Jason loves Jennifer," it still costs a business
money and time to cover up the graffiti while potentially lowering
the esteem visitors might have in a business. Over time, this sort
of issue can definitely chip away at a business's profit margin,
says the firm.
Of course, there is a more serious type of danger associated
with gang graffiti and the activity that can be related to this
sort of quality of life violation. United Protective Services notes
that, whether an owner or manager is concerned for the physical
safety of employees and customers, or is merely worried that
rampant shoplifting is harming the bottom line, employing well
trained and experienced uniformed security guards is an outstanding
preventative measure. The service notes that the mere presence of
an imposing person in a uniform will tend to discourage even
relatively hardened bad actors.
