With Halloween activities fast approaching, Citiguard Security Guard Company wants to urge everyone to make safety a top priority this Halloween.
As Trick-or-Treaters take to the streets and neighborhoods, parents and guardians should remain vigilant for possible hazardous or dangerous situations. To make sure that your Halloween is a safe and memorable day for everyone, Citiguard Security Guard Companyrecommends following safety tips:
1. Ensure that your child carries a flashlight or glow stick and/or wears something reflective to alert drivers of the child’s location.
2. Masks can restrict vision and breathing, face painting is a safe option.
3. Costumes should fit children correctly and not drag the ground, which could create a tripping hazard.
4. Children should be accompanied by adults/parents and should not be allowed to enter homes or vehicles without their supervision.
5. Plan your trick-or-treating route in familiar neighborhoods with well-lit streets.
6. Always walk on sidewalks when available. If walking on the street is necessary, pedestrians should walk on the left side of the road facing traffic.
7. Children should also know their address, phone number, and how to dial 911 for emergencies. Young children should have this information attached somewhere on their costume in the event they get separated or lost.
8. Parents are urged to inspect all candy for safety after returning home.
9. Never walk near lit candles or luminaries. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.
10. Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
Motorists should also use caution this Halloween weekend. With all the trick or treating excitement, children may inadvertently dart across the street into the path of moving vehicles. Because of this, motorists are being asked to not only drive with extreme caution, but also to drive extra slow in neighborhoods and residential areas. By driving with headlights on during daylight hours, children, as well as other vehicles, are more likely to see them from greater distances.
Citizens are encouraged to review the list of registered sex offenders living near their neighborhood. The mapping and address feature found on the website pinpoints exactly where an offender lives, therefore, educating citizens on which houses to avoid while trick-or-treating.
Under current State Law, it is illegal for a registered sex offender to participate in Halloween trick or treat activities. If you become aware of a sex offender who is attending costume parties where children are present or giving out candy, notify your local law enforcement immediately.
When something like shooting in Las Vegas happens, inevitably there are a number of questions about what could have been done to prevent such a tragedy.
Security companies, for their part, are already speculating about how security at big events may change.
Citiguard’s security experts also believe that mass shootings like this can be prevented with proper planning.
As a security guard company for everything from the Shopping Centers to the Super Bowl, Citiguard studies mass shootings like the tragedy in Las Vegas. There is no venue, indoor or outdoor, can have 100 percent security, however expanding security beyond the physical perimeter could minimize the potential for violence.
Hotel security guards likely had opportunity to intervene had they been properly integrated in the security plan and trained on what to look for as far as specific suspicion indicators which would force them take action.
Stephen Paddock had no previous contacts with police and appears to have planned the attack on his own, it would have been difficult for law enforcement to identify him as a threat before the shooting, but hotel security services may have had a chance in the days or weeks leading up to the attack.
The Las Vegas shooting will force security consultants and event planners to try and prevent this particular method of attack, and learning from the red flags will be the best way to prevent similar mass shootings in the future.
Focus on the human, identifying the perpetrator and stopping him before the attack is carried out, that is Citiguard’s goal and the true prevention.
Back-to-school does not have to mean back-to-worrying. Though safety inside school is ultimately the responsibility of the principal and school staff, parents can take a few basic steps to ensure a safe school experience. These are recommended by the National Association of Elementary School Principals:
Learn the school’s emergency procedures. Emergency plans and phone numbers are usually included in school handbooks and posted in classrooms. Taking a few extra minutes to familiarize yourself and your child with emergency information can give him the confidence he needs to act quickly in emergency situations.
Know travel routes to and from the school. Make sure you and your child know both primary and alternate routes. In an emergency, roads can be blocked and it’s important to have a backup plan.
Know and follow school security and safety measures. These might include signing in when visiting the school, being escorted when walking through the building, or wearing a visitor pass. Following these procedures also sets a great example for your kids.
Talk with your child about safety. Be specific. Talk about instinct and paying attention to funny feelings of fear. Explain what to do if she doesn’t feel safe (find a teacher, call 911, etc.). Make sure she knows how to contact you or a trusted neighbor who is likely to be at home.
Inform school staff about health and emotional concerns. Whether your child has a food allergy, a physical disability, or has been subject to bullying, make sure to keep your child’s teachers and principal in the loop.
Get involved. Talk with the principal about what you can do to increase school safety, such as organizing parents to form a neighborhood watch before and after school. Sometimes parent groups are highly successful in making improvements in traffic safety during drop off and pick up times. Source: Parent and Child Magazine
For the last schoolsafety tip, parents should make sure children have backpacks that have sturdy, padded straps, and are never more than 10% of their body weight, according to American Occupational Therapy Association, as heavy backpacks can cause shoulder and back pain.
