noreply@blogger.com (Namaste22) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:35:00 +0000

The best place to learn about the tribe security services public safety department is on the website of the tribe, if they have one. For example, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians has a page describing tribal security on its site.

The local police department normally does not patrol tribal land, which is why tribes have their own security services. In essence, these public safety departments function as their own police stations.

Officers of tribal security patrol the land and also utilize the latest security equipment to protect the people of the reservation. For instance, the public safety department of the Puyallup tribe helped install security cameras near the tribe's daycare center.

Usually, the tribal public safety department works closely with other security agencies outside of the reservation, such as the Department of Public Health, Homeland Security, and so on.

noreply@blogger.com (Namaste22) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:33:00 +0000

Although burglaries of hotels, banks, and businesses get a lot of press, they only account for about three percent of all burglaries. The other 97 percent of burglaries occur in residential homes.

Clearly, safety street home security is especially important in deterring potential burglars. In this post, we'll tell you a few simple things you can do to make your home more burglar-resistant.

First, make sure your home is well-illuminated. Burglars, of course, don't want to be seen in the act, so line your walkways with lights, and put lights around your front door, porch, and any side doors. Motion-sensing lights are especially effective.

Second, think about getting a dog. When you're not home, a dog will bark when it hears intruders and can scare off burglars. Finally, invest in an alarm system and display the alarm sign prominently in the front of your home. Make sure the alarm has infrared motion-sensing abilities to sense intruders.

Campus Safety and Security Association Releases Important Survey

noreply@blogger.com (Namaste22) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:32:00 +0000

The Campus Safety and Security Association has released the results of a nationwide survey of 342 institutions of higher learning. The survey measured the degree of emergency preparedness among America's universities and colleges.

The study found that 85 percent of respondents have in place an emergency preparedness plan that meets the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Of those without such a plan, 40 percent were close to finishing one.

Of the schools with plans that met criteria set forth by the NFPA, 97 percent were adequately prepared for a natural disaster, 98 percent were prepared for violent acts, and only 76 percent were prepared for a pandemic.

Over 90 percent of the responding schools said they had partnered with local police, public health, and other government agencies to pool resources during emergency scenarios on campus.

The Importance of Crime Scene Safety for Clean-Up Crew

noreply@blogger.com (Namaste22) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:25:00 +0000

The importance of crime scene safety doesn't just apply to crime scene techs and investigators; it also applies to the highly trained cleaning crews that come in after the investigation is over.

Crime scene clean-up crews specialize in cleaning up hazardous biological materials in order to restore the scene to how it looked before the crime took place. Of course, this job is just as dangerous, if not more so, than that of crime scene techs.

Scientists aren't sure how long pathogens can remain active in dried blood, so the cleaning crew members must wear suits and masks for protection. To remove the blood from the scene, they wet it down, which can reactivate toxins and make the blood lethal again.

Crime scene cleaners must also be careful of insects that often swarm a crime scene area after a body decomposition situation. The insects can carry fatal diseases from feeding on the body.

Security Guard Safety Jeopardized in Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Shooting

noreply@blogger.com (Namaste22) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:20:00 +0000

The security guard safety levels at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel have come into question as a man pleaded guilty to shooting a hotel guard during an attempted jewelry heist.

On Tuesday, Rafael Rabinovich-Arda admitted that he shot security guard Gregory J. Boyle, 55, accidentally while trying to rob the hotel jewelry store. The defendant claims that his gun went off accidentally as the two men struggled.

Boyle, the security guard, is a retired New York City police detective. Mr. Boyle says that he still has fragments of the bullet from the hotel shooting in his chest.

As a result, Boyle continually experiences numbness and other after effects of the shooting. The defendant's lawyers are arguing that he was coerced into robbing the jewelry store because of his cocaine addiction, depression, and loneliness.

The general public is typically unaware of the many health and safety issues at a crime scene. These dangers can be categorized into bio-hazards, physical hazards, and chemical hazards.

Common dangers to officers, crime scene investigators, and bystanders include blood-borne diseases, noxious vapors or gases, explosives, UV lights and lasers, and harmful chemicals used in investigative procedures.

If you are a witness to a crime or are near a crime scene, make sure you stay as far away from the scene as possible. Remaining away from the scene will help officials proceed with the investigation and keep you safe from hazards.

Home Safety and Security Tips

noreply@blogger.com (Namaste22) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 21:43:00 +0000

The safety and security of your home are not entirely out of your hands. By taking a few precautions, you can greatly reduce your risk of burglary, robbery, and other home-related crimes.

The entry points to your home are the most vulnerable to intrusion, so adequately secure all of your doors and windows. Doors should have deadbolt locks, and you may want to put bars over your windows. Remember to secure sliding-glass doors especially well.

Secondly, install an alarm system in your home that alerts the authorities when a security breach is detected. Not only will the sound of the alarm scare the thief, but the automatic dialing of 911 will also get the police there faster.

Finally, think about starting a neighborhood watch program. You and your neighbors can take turns monitoring the neighborhood and immediately reporting suspicious activity.

Community Safety Economic Crime; U.S. and Canada Working Together.

noreply@blogger.com (namasteblogger1) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:20:00 +0000

The Minister of Justice as well as the Attorney General of Canada and the Minister of Public Safety, introduced to the House of Commons an agreement that would increase the United States and Canada Cross-Border Law Enforcement. The Keeping Canadians Safe Act will enhance cooperative policing attempts to decrease the flow of cross-border crime in shared waters and further protect community safety economic crime.

The Government is determined to increase security and the economy. Changes will provide Canadian and United States law enforcement with the tools needed to enhance and prevent community safety economic crime across our borders. Canada has a firm commitment to working along side the Obama Administration to send a message that smuggling guns and drugs between our countries is not accepted.

The call to arms of this agreement will allow certain designated personnel to work on marine law enforcement ships on shared waters, such as the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway, and on the east and west coasts. These officers will be able to enforce the law in both the U.S. and Canada to help ensure that community safety economic crime organizations no longer take advantage of our waters.

This is a new approach to border law enforcement. With its constant changes, this provides the framework to ensure effective law enforcement, and will strengthen North American security as well as increase trade and economic growth.

The Emphasis of Crime Scene Lab Safety

noreply@blogger.com (Justin) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:04:00 +0000

Laboratory safety is emphasized at the beginning of each semester when you are taking a lab course in college. The lab that takes the most time to go over safety procedures would be chemistry labs. The many different chemicals that they might be working with are the reason to set these precautions in place.

A crime scene lab safety course is probably no different. You have to learn where all the safety equipment is and how to operate it in order for the lab to be "safe." If the rules of lab safety are not followed, people would get hurt everyday and create a terrible situation where the lab directors would get in trouble from their supervisors.

Regardless of what you want to do in life, sitting around in front of a computer reading blogs is probably the least contributory to your future success. If you have ever watched a crime scene technician ignore safety, then you need to know that you are doing the exact same thing.

There are always those people that pay a little too much attention as well. When they get the chance to see something out of the ordinary they just drop everything and watch. It is like when cops pull over cars on the freeway. People always have to slow down to take a look at them.

Why do People Commit Stupid Crimes?

noreply@blogger.com (nkchen) — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:06:00 +0000

We have all seen the videos of criminals that try to rob a store and then commit stupid crimes. My question is, why do people do that? Do they not think through how they are going to steal the money? If I were a smart person, I would know what I would do from beginning to end. On top of that, if I were to wear a mask to disguise myself, I would not put a paper bag on my head and cut off my vision. I would also rob a store with a real weapon, not a banana. All of these videos show how stupid people can be.

Most kids learn about this at the fourth or fifth grade level. The program has proven to work and lower the crime rate in many cities.

Why Trees Prevent Crime

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 21:33:00 +0000

You may think the headline, Why Trees Prevent Crime sounds a bit outlandish to you but actually your trees can help make a difference in crime prevention. Not just trees but bushes, shrubs, plants and fences. A well maintained yard is important in deterring criminals and leaves the impression that an active presence is in the space. Plant trees in your yard. This is seen not only as more attractive but more safe. Think of planting thorny brush or shrubs under your windows to prevent easy access. If you live in a desert area, cactus are great for this purpose. Also place a fence around your perimeter, even if it is short, this will create yet another obstacle and alert your neighbors more easily if someone is trespassing onto your property.

Police Crime Scene Emblems Can Be Bought On Ebay

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa) — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 20:47:00 +0000

One of the most important aspects of a police officers uniform is the emblem and patches that stand out as a symbol for what they stand for and what law enforcement unit they work for. It makes them look 'official' so to speak. When you see one on a officer's uniform it adds to the prestige of the uniform. So can anyone just go and buy one then? Apparently so, since a quick search of ebay items shows that there are plenty of police crime scene emblems up for sale. CSI crime scene investigator police patch from Las Vegas, Calhoun county crime scene investigator patch, Pennsylvania State Police patch, Miami, Albuquerque and many more are all up for auction. Do you think this is wise or safe that these patches can be bought and worn by just anybody?

noreply@blogger.com (Kevin) — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 19:05:00 +0000

Question, who knows what, happens when a crime is committed and what the crime scene investigators do? Yes, they get their gloves on and inspect for evidence and take crime photos. Those crime photos are very important to them so they can look back on it for solving the answer.

Not only is it very important, they need to take pictures where everything was in place or else it messes up their final solution to the mystery. These crime photos can range from a lot of things but are mostly used in murder scenes or just mainly in death related crime scenes.
