Hope all of you are having a great Summer! It’s been a while since our last blog, and we’ve had a lot going on around here…<br />
Some of the fun things we did in 2011: participated in the Rogers
Santa Clause Parade again, the St. Patty’s Day Parade again, AND the
Vaisakhi Parade (just to name a few…).<br />
We also welcomed back BC Place in September, and performed security for the Cloverdale Rodeo once again (10 years running now!).<br />
Internally, In 2011 we hired Isabel Egan as our right-hand ‘person’
and Camil’s Executive Assistant, Jason Baron as our Ops Manager, and
Betty Letain in Ops as well.<br />
So far in 2012, we’ve hired Darren Brown as our Business Development Director, and Kevin Boyle in Business Development.<br />
Finally – we’ll be at BC Place on the 18<sup>th</sup> for a Whitecaps Game and again the 20<sup>th</sup> for a BC Lions Game…….. We’d love to see you there! Come on out and show your support.<br />

I would often hear my employees when they come by the office laughing and sharing their great experiences that had at the various events we did over the summer. I would like to give a special thank you to End Cancer who we developed a relationship with this past summer providing security for the Ride to Conquer Cancer, The Underwear Affair and the Weekend to End Women's Cancer. As well to The Cloverdale Rodeo who we just finished our 8th year with. We hope to continue all our relationships in the coming years.<br />With Summer quickly coming to an end we now look forward to our fall events and it was just announced recently that we will be back to provide our support to soon to be open BC Place. Our team is extremely excited to get back into the swing of things since BC Place shut down for regular events to start construction and prepare to be centre stage for the 2011 Winter Olympics.Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-46941877813217554072011-06-21T09:02:00.000-07:002011-06-21T09:08:24.455-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs8dkFkrlWb8HJOHOGOi1qHszvcck5Ask-bmWdUpAkRm12o-ZHr7Gxvro3ZbRzBP4k22QO2v_-5ypHqdhV7a_Zi2iRtDPW1dOtdWFfcq3pEeAbje4vptIMLaOFF280LAWaeVvu/s1600/paloma_PICASSO_PAZ_PEACE_PAIX.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs8dkFkrlWb8HJOHOGOi1qHszvcck5Ask-bmWdUpAkRm12o-ZHr7Gxvro3ZbRzBP4k22QO2v_-5ypHqdhV7a_Zi2iRtDPW1dOtdWFfcq3pEeAbje4vptIMLaOFF280LAWaeVvu/s400/paloma_PICASSO_PAZ_PEACE_PAIX.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620705558958651202" /></a><br /><strong>Violence as a Last Resort</strong><br /><br />Ju-do = “the gentle way”. You don’t need to know the martial art itself to practice peaceful ways. We can all apply this ancient skill to our everyday lives. Even verbal self defence (a.k.a “Verbal Judo” ) when combined with common knowledge and training can de- escalate or end an attempted assault. Practicing a nonviolent approach gives one more control and with less effort.<br /> <br />Last week during our Canucks Stanly Cup playoff coverage for Rogers, SportsNet and CTV, we had a situation occur where one of our highly trained guards used peaceful tactics in preventing a rambunctious fan from ploughing into CTV’s Sarah Galashan. In a calm and restrained way our guard was able to deflect him away and onto the ground in a safe manner -allowing the reporter to continue her news report. The guard then refused to engage verbally and ended the conversation. In this type of incidence it is especially fundamental to stay calm in order to protect yourself and others. These kind of tactics are also very proficient at diffusing the anger of others. <br /><br />In every day life at Genesis, we see all kinds of angry people in these circumstances, and, as trained security guards, we’ve learned how to effectively calm and diffuse any difficult situation. <br />Genesis Security would like to personally thank all of our trained security guards who were so courageous, calm and proficient in handling the mob during the Stanley Cup Riot 2011.<br /><br /> “Violence is the last resort of the incompetent”- Lorne BozinoffCamil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-50096297958771695142011-06-10T15:41:00.000-07:002011-06-10T15:46:39.233-07:00Debit Card Fraud<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRSgNd0IqsvVxa5sazc4MN-D-TwH-iziTUh2nd6IL8nR-isDw0rzyvq6qac6uEzwDF4OWXhk-XxTgqSTBD2SB6Q9eOEH4Z-fmWq_hBB5if9bC57NIyETPGAojozLs2P0DN2c_p/s1600/Credit+Card+Fraud.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRSgNd0IqsvVxa5sazc4MN-D-TwH-iziTUh2nd6IL8nR-isDw0rzyvq6qac6uEzwDF4OWXhk-XxTgqSTBD2SB6Q9eOEH4Z-fmWq_hBB5if9bC57NIyETPGAojozLs2P0DN2c_p/s400/Credit+Card+Fraud.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616726266158794130" /></a><br />Raise your awareness in your community, keep a watchful eye to prevent debit card skimming fraud. <br /><br />Here are some helpful tips on how to protect your personal accounts:<br /><br />1. Cover your PIN. Your bankcard won't work without the PIN. Thieves usually obtain the PIN with a small camera stationed near the card processor, so keep an eye out for anything that seems out of place. It might be a camera, or it may just be an unusual looking item placed conspicuously close by. In any event, shield the keypad with your body or free hand when entering your PIN.<br />2. Be selective with your ATM. Again, look for anything out of place. Any wires exposed? Tape evident? Hardware loose? If so, find another ATM. Use an ATM inside a bank whenever possible. Stay away from ATMs in remote locations that appear seldom used. These are easy to tamper with and might even be dummy cash machines…<br />3. Leave some wiggle room. When you insert your card, wiggle it while it's in the slot. If something seems loose, there might be theft device attached to the swipe hardware. Wiggling the card might jar the theft device from its hiding place.<br />4. Monitor your accounts. One of the best protections against continued use of your stolen information is to check bank statements regularly! With a debit card, you may be responsible for the first $50 (and you must report theft within two business days of discovery and no later than 60 days after the theft for protection). Credit cards generally have better protections plans and might be a better choice if you have any reservations about an ATM or processing machine.<br />5. Look for security cameras. ATMs and gas pumps that are under video surveillance and have cameras aimed directly at the card readers are less likely to be fitted with card-skimming equipment. Makes sense right?<br />6. Keep an eye on your card. When you give your card to a waiter or clerk, be skeptical of any request to swipe it through multiple devices or if they must leave your sight. Again – common sense, but it’s surprising how many people allow other people free access to their cards.<br />7. Be careful at the gas station. Gas stations are among the most prone to skimming… Use a credit card whenever possible or even choose the credit option on your bankcard.<br />Remember – raise your awareness and use common sense and you should be able to protect yourself from card skimming fraud.<br /><br />- Genesis Security GroupCamil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-31120414942579380992011-05-31T11:18:00.000-07:002011-05-31T14:13:33.800-07:00Cloverdale Rodeo 2011<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQY0E0b0yOpDHxv5tzAnHly0fARVBN7OqatKtKnm0Sx31YL6H5vILa4FIe8_MQIkJaTop-LDZI8UjfyQ8wLWgHIRGxqrRMJnmya1wCqrWmxVqlKW6-qQx2DBkgiMCO9V3NRejQ/s1600/photo.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQY0E0b0yOpDHxv5tzAnHly0fARVBN7OqatKtKnm0Sx31YL6H5vILa4FIe8_MQIkJaTop-LDZI8UjfyQ8wLWgHIRGxqrRMJnmya1wCqrWmxVqlKW6-qQx2DBkgiMCO9V3NRejQ/s400/photo.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612987702087077714" /></a><br />Genesis Secuirty Group started the May Long Weekend off with a kick at the annual Cloverdale Rodeo this year.

On this day they observed the male along with another unknown male withdrawing large amounts of cash from several bank machines along Granville Street. They contacted Vancouver Police and advised them of the situation. Two plainclothes units attended shortly after and took over the surveillance. At about 2130 on the same day the officer contacted the LPO members and advised them that they had five males in custody for fraud over $5000.00 in a high end Downtown Vancouver hotel stemming from the surveillance that they had directed them too. The male that was known to the LPO team was also in the hotel suite had well over $40,000, a money counting machine and hundreds of black debit cards containing innocent peoples banking information.<br /><br />Raise your awareness in your community, keep a watchful eye and use preventative measures in debit card skimming fraud.Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-39135813091939578792011-05-27T15:14:00.000-07:002011-05-27T15:37:45.673-07:00The DVBIA awards dinner<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ocw7OjiFn1vpS2ZwNGTHQ5nsiOIwxoXrIxlh44wazYw7NxXtpVNpM69yjxD0OkhqKDZOHrwn5E7ovFwWi3WZWOPvG7lItEhR_MZAwGktDp0z1hMqK1dacQjepviRhKBmsgDP/s1600/151.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ocw7OjiFn1vpS2ZwNGTHQ5nsiOIwxoXrIxlh44wazYw7NxXtpVNpM69yjxD0OkhqKDZOHrwn5E7ovFwWi3WZWOPvG7lItEhR_MZAwGktDp0z1hMqK1dacQjepviRhKBmsgDP/s400/151.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611528792015520802" /></a><br />The DVBIA awards dinner was held on Thursday May 19th at Steamworks Brewing Co. The annual dinner is held to give thanks to the hard working team members of the DVBIA Ambassador and Loss Prevention team and present awards to a select number of them.

It is often right. <br /><br />One of our guards, S/O Jody was attending one of our sites for a scheduled patrol and came across a Green Honda in the parking lot. He had noted this vehicle on site during his first patrol and felt it to be suspicious. He approached the vehicle without hesitation and asked the occupants some basic questions regarding the vehicle and in general what they were up to. One of the occupants of the vehicle replied in confidence to Jody’s questions and advised him that they were just waiting for a friend to bring them gas as they had run out. Jody had an instinct to follow-up on this matter and decided to call non-emergency police to run the plates. At that time a dispatcher was advised that they were having a car attend site. Within a short time five Burnaby RCMP cars were on site surrounding the vehicle with guns drawn and finally removed occupants from vehicle and they were shortly placed under arrest. The vehicle was reported stolen and the male occupant was reported to have been in an altercation a few days prior where he had been stabbed three times. He was taken to hospital and the female occupant was taken into custody. <br /><br />Jody has created a safer community on behalf of Genesis Security Group and we are proud to have him on our team. <br /><br />Thank you Jody for the great work!Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-12036406250360952642011-05-05T11:15:00.000-07:002011-05-05T17:00:18.546-07:00Kerrisdale Carnival<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis1IdxAWCidsf9ywGBjSscyJ4CT2Z3d6bUQHzCzbGH-PNbQSTgJ-U3kGjXBSdzs7FKq4162veesgS96MjUxqjG9AOZBvAALhlBMTZgOm7qXlbBfHSVgbCqTg2yt05lcrbLojxg/s1600/photo8.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603321365853060098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis1IdxAWCidsf9ywGBjSscyJ4CT2Z3d6bUQHzCzbGH-PNbQSTgJ-U3kGjXBSdzs7FKq4162veesgS96MjUxqjG9AOZBvAALhlBMTZgOm7qXlbBfHSVgbCqTg2yt05lcrbLojxg/s320/photo8.JPG" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><strong>It was a beautiful spring day at the Kerrisdale Carnival last weekend.

Quite often, we are unaware of the less common dangers such as accidents that may occur at the grocery store or the local shopping mall.<br /><br />Escalators<br /><br />Escalators - To us, adults, this is no more than a way to bring us up or down a level; however, to a child, this looks like a fun and adventurous ride. Little do they know, that they could seriously get injured. Make sure your kids tie their shoelaces before getting on escalator, stand in the center of the escalator face forward, hold the handrail and stop off at the end and lastly refrain from sitting or playing on the escalators.<br /><br />Shopping Carts<br /><br />Since accidents with shopping carts have been well publicized over the years, warnings have been printed on most shopping carts these days. Still, it is a good idea to be cautious of the risks involved particularly head injuries that occur with falls. Many of us think that by just placing the child in the cart is safe enough and often ignore the seat belts they come with, but don't underestimate your child's ability to come out or attempt to come out. It only takes you reaching for that item on the top shelf for a fatal accident to occur. That being said, even with the seat belt, the best way for prevention is always being close to your child, and anticipating the hidden dangers surrounding.<br /><br />Kidnappers<br /><br />Besides the physical dangers mentioned above, this one is by far the most important to be cautious of. It is easy for us parents to be distracted when shopping - whether it be a sale bin we find or running into an old friend. Sometimes, we think it's safe to just leave our kids "just for a second" to grab an item, but forget that it only takes "that second" for someone to take them. The shopping center is a great opportunity for kidnappers - it is overwhelming with consumers and parents "too busy" to be focused on their children at all times. Remember to discuss a few of these tips with your children if ever an attempt is made:<br /><br />• Thrash, fight, bite, and scream, "Help! Police!" repeatedly, shed a jacket or backpack that is grabbed, drop any excess baggage slowing them down, escape to a populated area, and call the police. YELL! RUN! TELL! The kidnapper fears a public spectacle and may simply flee alone. Also, witnesses may intervene, or at least identify the kidnapper and/or vehicle.<br />• If there’s a gun, ignore it and run! A gun is used to scare – rarely if ever to shoot a child. (Besides, if he's willing to quickly kill a child on the spot, he'll slowly do worse harm at leisure before killing the child later at a secluded, secondary crime scene anyway.<br /><br />There are many hidden dangers out there, and as much as we want as parents, we can only do so much. Educating ourselves and our children is the first step. Be safe. </div>Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-88121487135095660562010-12-27T15:10:00.000-08:002010-12-27T15:15:39.684-08:00Alarm Systems - Not Just Warning You of Intruders<a href="http://www.roswellgov.com/images/pages/N729/ChristmasTreeFire.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 277px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 296px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.roswellgov.com/images/pages/N729/ChristmasTreeFire.jpg" /></a><br /><div>An alarm system should provide peace of mind that your home and family are secure. Besides alerting you of possible intruders, your alarm system can and should warn you of other dangers such as fire and gas leaks.<br />There are several features that your alarm system should provide:<br />Control Panel – This should be user friendly, simple to activate and deactivate. It should be placed in the house that easily accessible in the event of an emergency, but not noticeable the moment you open the main entrance.<br />Fire Detection - No matter what alarm system you select, you’ll want an alarm that will successfully warn you if there is a fire in your home. The size of your home is one factor you should consider – smaller spaces can make good use of a single, separate fire alarm system with a stand-alone circuit; larger residences or businesses should select fire alarms with a loop circuit, to make sure all areas are properly monitored.<br />Wireless smoke alarms are the newest fire prevention tool, and work in a similar, stand alone fashion to battery alarms or as interconnected devices. Interconnected alarms are the most thorough form of protection, as they allow you to hear an alarm from anywhere in your home or work place. Regardless of what area the fire began, all the alarms will sound the alert.<br />Carbon Monoxide Detection – Because exposure to carbon monoxide is deadly and totally invisible, it is important to have a system that detects carbon monoxide before it reaches a dangerous level.<br />Sensors – Your system should include sensors at all doors and windows as well as motion sensors. The sensors inform you of the presence of intruders before they break into your home which provides you with advanced warning. All access points on the ground level or basement should be covered; upper floors are important but not as critical.<br />You should keep in mind location of your sensors. Many owners forget about how easy it is for an intruder to break into the garage attached to the home or the bathroom window. Although alarm systems are a great way to deter home invaders, they are never guaranteed. Arrange for your security company to do home checks especially at times when you will be away or at busier times such as the Christmas holidays. </div>Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-71747684012459043582010-12-08T10:42:00.000-08:002010-12-08T10:47:22.446-08:00Shoppers Beware!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikjb_IuNzbtY4KiqjNZnpt98eQJRgLat1MBguK4FfP5eAjIJJgK8rag2nOtjcLeTpBVseeXIqylVKQeV8pn8DzHOYnJgokSwv1PbL66Rw7L-o4im084Hmlfb8F5H251NSVw-Wa/s1600/shopping-logo-tss.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 373px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548384942078590434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikjb_IuNzbtY4KiqjNZnpt98eQJRgLat1MBguK4FfP5eAjIJJgK8rag2nOtjcLeTpBVseeXIqylVKQeV8pn8DzHOYnJgokSwv1PbL66Rw7L-o4im084Hmlfb8F5H251NSVw-Wa/s400/shopping-logo-tss.jpg" /></a><br /><div>During this season, it is easy for us to get carried away with the excitement of holiday shopping. We are so determined to finish the “list”; we become careless and vulnerable to theft and other holiday crime. I recommend we all take a few prevention measures to help protect our safety and keep the holiday season joyous:<br />• Avoid wearing expensive jewellery.<br />• Do not carry a purse or wallet if possible. In fact, try to not carry a lot of cash, and instead use a credit or debit card to make purchases.<br />• Another useful tip is to spread out your Christmas shopping schedule so that you don’t make all your purchases on one day.<br />• Avoid overloading yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps. This can help prevent you from being an easy target.<br />• Most important, always be aware of your surroundings. When in the shopping centre, always be cautious of those around you and the placement of your purchases and belongings.<br />• When walking back to your vehicle, make sure you are not being followed.<br /><br />True, holiday shopping can be both exhilarating and exhausting, take your time and be careful. Have a great Christmas and enjoy the Holiday Season! </div>Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-8648620949139219772010-11-25T09:27:00.000-08:002010-11-25T09:35:14.717-08:00“Oh, You Better Watch Out...”<strong><em>You better not cry, You better not pout</em></strong>...Because it’s not only Santa who will be coming to your home during the holidays. At this time of the year, home invaders are on the lookout and are just waiting for you to leave on your vacation.<br />This creates an easy opportunity for them to break in, unnoticed and get away with your valuables. Don’t be a victim. When planning your trip be sure to contact your security company to do random home checks while you are gone. Make sure that they collect any newspaper or mail that piles up and have them store it until your return. They can even do interior checks, open and close blinds, or turn on different lights to create the illusion that someone is home. Invest in a light timer; this is an inexpensive way to deter thieves to believe someone is home.<br />Remember tis the season to be jolly; so plan ahead this year and contact your security company, or us at Genesis Security Group today.Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-51352856830322259942010-11-05T16:52:00.000-07:002010-11-05T17:16:52.878-07:00Park Safe<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglnBqKhzgEWiZIcvtN8qCH_oQI-uLSIV7NIsgK9XitvraQZrDj8_ZwHWPTNMYLcctc-ZEOhRy8J_QpUWv4gXab8LPZSKC8H9zG7KZFxCrAoeWXXU4iYmfT3MfCPU-gRSq_3tfK/s1600/antitheft2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 153px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglnBqKhzgEWiZIcvtN8qCH_oQI-uLSIV7NIsgK9XitvraQZrDj8_ZwHWPTNMYLcctc-ZEOhRy8J_QpUWv4gXab8LPZSKC8H9zG7KZFxCrAoeWXXU4iYmfT3MfCPU-gRSq_3tfK/s400/antitheft2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536224006822412482" /></a><br />Even with the latest anti-theft devices that come with new cars today, vehicles are still being stolen. In August alone over 400 vehicles were reported stolen just in Vancouver. <br />There are many factors that make it easy for a thief to steal your car, the main one being opportunity. This is why it is important to park your car in a well lit area, in attended lots or in higher volume traffic areas. <br />How many times have you heard a car alarm go off and ignored it? Needless to say, most thieves are not deterred simply by a loud noise; therefore, it is a good idea to use some sort of security device that would delay the thief such as “the Club” or any other physical locks or bars. <br />Although most thieves steal cars to profit from parts or the car itself, many will just break into your car for something they can sell quickly. Therefore it is important to try not to keep anything of value in the car or at the very least keep it hidden. Keep in mind that for someone determined enough, it is very easy to steal or break into your car. It can happen in seconds! Use your discretion when parking and remember these useful tips to prevent this from happening to you.Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-81890373890062000472010-10-21T15:20:00.001-07:002010-10-21T15:20:32.347-07:00Trick or Treat with CautionMost of us think that Halloween is just a time of fun and treats; however, many children are injured and some killed while walking on this night than any other evenings of the year. Parents can help prevent these injuries by making sure their children are following these tips:<br />• Wearing clothing that is bright, reflective, and flame retardant. <br />• Use flashlights, stay on sidewalks, and avoid crossing yards. <br />• Cross streets at the corner, use crosswalks (where they exist), and do not cross between parked cars. <br />• Go only to well-lit houses and remain on porches rather than entering houses. <br />• Bring treats home before eating them so parents can inspect them. <br />For children under 12, it is a good idea to have an adult supervise the trick-or-treating and for those older, a curfew should be established. As important as it is preparing your child to be safe for that night, it is just as important to make it safe for others. Make sure your house is well lit and that you are not giving away treats that may pose as a choking hazard for young children. Remember that although Halloween activities should be fun and harmless, they could also be dangerous. Darkness, weather and excitement are all contributing factors, but we can all help with proper supervision and hazard awareness to create a safer environment for our children.Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-5147948190423525232010-09-15T16:31:00.001-07:002010-09-15T16:31:31.882-07:00Playing it SafeWhenever someone is given a position of trust in the work place it is very common for a background check to be done as they will be dealing the things of value. To me there is nothing as valuable as my children and if we are going to trust our children to someone then we should certainly expect no less. <br />As Fall approaches, the season of many sports and activities also begin – Soccer, Ice Skating, Swimming...... Once you have chosen a program appropriate for your child find out if the staff, coaches, and volunteers are properly trained or supported by an organization. But most importantly make sure that they are required to have background checks done. Both criminal and sexual offence checks. <br />Although background checks cannot guarantee to prevent sexual abuse; it is a good first step. The most important tool is communication with your child and informing them of situations such as being alone with the coach and the difference of appropriate and inappropriate touching. Make sure as parents that you have done your part to create a healthy and safe environment for your child and every child in your youth sports organization. Here’s to a safe and fun season ahead!Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-2044981110348011092010-09-10T16:54:00.001-07:002010-09-10T16:54:19.812-07:00Celebrating HopeWe are always excited to be involved in events that make a difference in people’s lives and this month we will be a part of the Canary Derby and the 25th Anniversary of Camp Goodtimes. The Canary Derby is a fundraising event sponsored by the Canary Foundation, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to the goal of identifying cancer early through a simple blood test and then isolating it with imaging. The event, on September 25, will be held at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby. This is a great opportunity for people to show their support and bring awareness to such an important cause. In addition, the Canadian Cancer Society is celebrating the 25th Annivesary of Camp Goodtimes, a summer recreation program that provides a “unique summer experience” for children and teens with cancer and their families. We are looking forward to both events and meeting the participants who have changed lives and continue to bring hope.Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-88172860237627133422010-08-23T14:51:00.000-07:002010-08-23T14:53:04.906-07:00Guiding you to Safety – Tips on How to Choose a SecurityMany people are unsure about how to choose a security company. They open up the YellowPages or search on the internet and find themselves even more confused. If this procedure istoo overwhelming; know you are not alone. Here is a list that may help you narrow down your search and help you decide on a company that best suits your needs.<br /><br />• How long have they been in business? Be sure to find a locally based security company that's been in business for at least 7 years. This shows they have proven themselves and most likely are not going to go out of business. There can be a lot of time and costs used up retraining new security company.<br />• Is the company insured? Always have the company provide you with a copy of their current insurance certificate before signing a contract. Once you deices to go with that company make sure your company name is named on the insurance certificate.<br />• Find out if they do background checks when hiring employees and what is their hiring process.<br />• Does the home security company provide all the services themselves or do they subcontract. Companies that subcontract cannot control their quality of service as well as a company that uses it's own staff. Deciding on the right company solely based on costs or convenience without doing research is a huge risk. Many companies provide poor service because they don't have the right infrastructure or management and if you receive inferior service you put both your yourself and your property at risk.<br /><br />For more information on the Genesis Security Group and our services visit our website:<br />genesissecurity.comCamil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-89417916718201921882010-08-05T17:33:00.000-07:002010-08-05T17:34:15.097-07:00Safety Tips for FemalesWith the sun out most of the day, it’s easy for women to feel “safer” in the summer to go for a run or exercise outdoors, not realizing that attackers are still out there...waiting. The following tips will not only help prevent assault, but possibily save your life.<br />1. Awareness. This is your first line of defense; awareness of yourself, your surroundings, and your potential attacker’s likely strategies.<br />2. Your Sixth Sense. “Six sense”. “Gut instinct”. Whatever you call it. Learn to trust your intuition to help avoid a person or situation that does not feel safe – you’re probably right.<br />3. Self-defense Training. Learn basic self-defense skills. Enroll in a program that include simulated assaults.<br />4. Escape. Always your best option. You are suddenly confronted by a predator who demands that you go with him–be it in a car, or into an alley, or a building. It would seem prudent to obey, but you must never leave the primary crime scene. You are far more likely to be killed or seriously injured if you go with the predator than if you run away (even if he promises not to hurt you). Run away, yell for help, throw a rock through a store or car window–do whatever you can to attract attention. And if the criminal is after your purse or other material items, throw them one way while you run the other. <br />5. Other useful tips:<br />• Vary the routes so the running routine will not become obvious to others. <br />• Run against the traffic. <br />• Do not wear head sets when running alone on the street. It is very difficult to hear cars and sirens (or someone running behind you) when you are preoccupied with music.Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-76890824971471299412010-07-27T16:23:00.000-07:002010-07-27T16:24:36.564-07:00Where there's smokeAt 12:39 am last Sunday night, one of our guards, William reported that he smelt smoke on his site but could not find the source. At 1:32 am, William reported that the Fire Department found a smoldering fire in the wood shop; it seems that the table saw was shorting out and igniting the sawdust.<br />Imagine if this was detected too late! This is a story we can all learn from. How often do we leave appliances plugged into sockets and then leave the house? We think that it’s safe because it’s “turned off”; however, electricity is still running through it. Let alone considering the things that are surrounding it, in this case, sawdust- easy to ignite and cause a serious fire. Most house, office and building fires are preventable, the first step is awareness. So be careful and remember to check your appliances before you leave. <br />I would also like to commend William for his attentiveness and his quick response while on duty.Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957028.post-6477337177827485072010-07-05T11:39:00.000-07:002010-07-05T11:40:09.421-07:00Sunny Forecast AheadAfter finishing up all the dry grad events this year, it’s official... Summer has arrived (somewhat). We’ve already jumpstarted the season with The International Jazz Festival. They have some big names added to this year’s itinerary- George Benson, who performed last Saturday at Queen E. and Nikki Yanofsky returns to Vancouver on July 3! There will be performers at different venues, so if you don’t see us at Granville Island, you can catch us at the David Lam Park or the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. For free shows, click on the link <a href="http://www.coastaljazz.ca/concerts/browse/venue"></a> . As you all know, with summer, comes the Cirque du Soleil and we are proud to announce that this year, we will be a part of this event. They have called it Kooza that “tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world”, exploring themes of fear, identity, recognition and power. A theme, I believe, we can all relate to on some level. We are excited to be involved with such an elaborate production and look forward to making it a successful one. Although we’re not seeing much sun, it’s going to be a bright and busy summer for us.Camil Dubuchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15721344085414078642noreply@blogger.com0
