  • We Need to Protect Ourselves

    11:59 PM PST, 7/15/2010

    While I was growing up, in the 50s and 60s, police patrols gave our family a sense of security. Marked police cars would actually reduce the crime rate by driving around. Many crimes were prevented or caught in progress. When the police were around a suspect would move on to where there was a smaller police presence.

    Today we are moving into a very different society caused in part by the state of the economy. Police departments and sheriff offices are being reduced all over the United States, some eliminated entirely. As a result, the police presence we have had for years is becoming the smaller police presence that suspects look for.

    On Thursday, July 15, 2010, NBC nightly news reported that due to personnel reduction, cities such as Oakland, California will no longer respond to non violent crimes. Instead you will report the crime on the internet.

    These report systems are designed to reduce the need for an officer to respond and satisfy your insurance company requirement for a police report.

    We have a greater need to protect ourselves and be extra eyes and ears for our police. With that I welcome you to ForSecuritySake.net. This site is where we list our home, personal protection, and other security products and specials on Ebay. Pepper Spray, Personal Alarms, Home Alarms, and folding knives are just a few of the products you can find here.

    After you give us a look, please visit our sister site at ForSecuritySake.com. Most products are to enhance your security and safety, with a few just for fun.

    During 30 plus full time years as a Police Officer, Detective, and Supervisor I have been in a unique position to witness crime scenes, learn from my partners and suspects, and participate in criminal court proceedings. During the last 6 years of my career, my assignment was to enhance my department’s technology.

    I traveled across the United States to meet representatives of other police departments and technology companies. We discussed crime trends and a way to combat them using current and future technology. We found that although crime statistics vary from location to location, criminals tend to act similarly when committing crimes.

    My reason for becoming a police officer was to help people be safer and more secure in their daily lives. Retiring from Law Enforcement did not stop that desire and www.ForSecuritySake.com is my way to continue.

    Self Protection products include: Taser, Mace, Pepper Spray, and Personal Alarms. For a sample of products for home safety you will find low cost alarm systems, diversion safes, and Family Life kits. For your business we currently have the Ultimate Office Safety and Security kit.
