In the previous post of our Block Watch Series, the information posted dealt with commercial burglaries. We’re going to “kick it up a notch” in the final part, Part 15, and deal with Commercial Robbery Prevention.
A little know factoid: The outward appearance and security of the building may determine if a business will be burglarized or robbed.
Download the final episode, Commercial Robbery Prevention HERE.
As an added bonus, you may download the COMPLETE series in one file HERE.
Commercial Burglary Prevention, one of the most common types of invasion when the market is poor and unemployment is high. Commercial burglaries are often crimes of opportunity that occur after your business closes.
Download the ways to discourage burglars and stop them in their tracks (or at least make them think twice before breaking in) HERE.
Hey. You’ve almost completed the whole series.
Part 13 of our Block Watch Series pertains to something we all don’t think about too often, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Crooks really don’t like it if the get away is too hard and getting to the front door or back door exposes them for all to see.
Download Part 13, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, HERE.
Vehicle Theft Prevention is a super follow-up to our previous post in the Block Watch Series, vehicle prowling.
To get some good solid advice on vehicle theft prevention, download the PDF file HERE.
And yet another part of our Block Watch Series that probably even you have been a victim of, Vehicle Prowl Prevention.
We have not personally had too many problems with vehicle prowling but we do know MANY folks that have had issues that have cost them 100′s of dollars in the end. A lot of these prowls can be averted if you have the right weapons to do so.
Download part 11 of the series, Vehicle Prowl Prevention HERE.
Now we are getting in to the areas that are vital for your safety. Residential Burglary Prevention is a very important tool and a must read.
Burglary victims often feel vulnerable and violated as their personal space has been invaded. Residential burglaries statistically occur during the day while families are at work or school. The most common entry technique is a hard kick to the door, forcing the wooden jamb to give way.

You are over 1/2 way through the Block Watch Series once you have completed this section.
Part 9 deals with Work Place Violence (aka Going Postal). Well, it deals more with personal conduct to avoid or minimize work place violence.
The PDF download is available HERE.
We are jumping from Halloween Safety to Holiday Safety.
Halloween is not really a holiday so Part 8 in the series deals with Holiday’s in general.
I don’t know if I missed it or not, but I could not find anything in this document that talked about Drunk Driving or Drunk Drivers, which surprised me a bit.
All in all it’s worth the read. It will only take a moment. Download Holiday Safety Tips HERE.
We’re close to 1/2 way through our Block Watch Series and Part 7 is just in time.
This part deals with Halloween Safety and may be downloaded HERE.
Quick. What’s the number for 911?
We’ve all heard that piece of humor at one time or another in our lives.
Part 6 of the Block Watch Series deals with calling 911. It is more or less a one page refresher course of the do and don’t of making this emergency (and some time non-emergency) call.
