"According to statistics, 3.7 million homes are broken into each year. That's 7 homes every minute!
"1 out of every 5 homes will encounter a violent home intrusion or burglary."
"According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA), about 2 million U.S. workers per year are victims of some kind of workplace violence."
"Workplace violence, a growing concern for employers and employees nationwide, is violence or the threat of violence against workers. It includes acts of violence within or outside of the workplace and can range from threats and verbal abuse to physical assaults and homicide; it is one of the leading causes of job-related deaths."
"Shoplifters come in all shapes and sizes, ages and sexes, and vary in ethnic background, education, and economic status."
"It is estimated that shoplifting occurs 330 - 440 million times per year at a loss of $10-$13 billion dollars. Nationwide, that equates to 1.0-1.2 million shoplift incidents every day at a loss rate of $19,000-$25,300 dollars stolen per minute. When you factor in employee and vendor theft, this sum skyrockets to an estimate of over $33 billion dollars stolen per year."
"Violence continues to create an ongoing challenge to the nation's educational environment."
"Each year, 3 million young people in the United States fall victim to crimes at school. Almost 2 million of these incidents involve violence."
"More than $13 billion worth of goods are stolen from retailers each year. That's more than $35 million per day."
In today's increasingly dangerous world, threats to your personal saftey are everywhere. From "acts of terror" to mass shootings to the matrix of everyday crime. Danger and violence are no longer confined to dark alleys in major urban areas or unstable regions around the globe. It doesn't matter weather you are working, shopping, worshiping or dining out. You could be simply taking in a sporting event or movie, dropping off or visiting children at school, attending a party or simply relaxing at home. Potentially life-threatening circumstances can arise anywhere and at anytime! However, you can minimize your chances of becoming a statistic; and I can help.
