Private Security Helps Citizens Stay Safe When Police Coverage is Sparse
Highly experienced companies like Spear Security help citizens feel safe and secure in their homes.
DENVER, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the key components for safety in any neighborhood is police coverage. Statistically speaking, safer neighborhoods with lower crime rates are neighborhoods near regular patrols where police have a rapid response time. Unfortunately, not all neighborhoods have access to the same police presence; particularly in large cities where underfunded departments are often spread thin. In one San Jose, CA neighborhood where residents grew weary of high burglary rates, community members came together to hire a private security company to help fill gaps in police coverage. According to a CBS report, crime rates dropped dramatically after private patrols began. Though private security could never fully replace a strong, effective, and well-funded police force, highly experienced companies like Spear Security help residents and business add an extra layer of protection that goes a long way toward improving their property and wellbeing.
According to one resident in the San Jose Neighborhood, the decision to hire a private security company came after witnessing 39 burglaries within a three month period. Each homeowner in the community split the cost to get a private patrol on their streets where local police were unable to fully monitor. Residents then immediately benefited from the results. After noticing a prowler on her property, one local contacted the security company and the local police at the same time. "It took police an hour and 15 minutes to respond to a person in my driveway," she said. When asked of the response time of the private security company she replied, "five minutes."
In Denver Colorado, a city also suffering from cuts to its police department, many are also turning to private companies.
