5 Back to School Safety Tips – ESS Global Corp

It’s late August and that means children are headed back to school, or maybe going to class for the first time. ESS Global would like to remind all parents to make sure your children are as safe as possible. Here are 5 back to school safety tips to make the trips back and forth to school as safe as possible.

Know the Numbers – Children should know their phone number, address, how to dial 9-1-1 and how to reach their parents at work. Another way to help them remember is to use a small business card to list all emergency information such as phone numbers and addresses and attach it to the inside your child’s backpack.
Walk the School Route – walk along with your children before the first day of school to make sure it is safe and your child knows the route. Encourage your kids to avoid short cuts unless they have been pre-approved. Same goes for the bus stop unless it’s right outside your front door.
Be Observant – Tell your children to stay observant and aware of their surroundings as they walk. If they think they are being followed, they should immediately go to a trusted adult and tell them. Make sure your children know who is a trusted adult: law enforcement, store owners, or a teacher, to name a few.
Stranger Danger – Make sure your child knows what to do if they think they are in danger – they should yell “help” or “you are not my mom/dad” and run to the nearest business or back to school. Tell your child, if a stranger asks questions, they should not get close to the car. Make sure they know to never get in a car with a stranger – anyone the kids and parents don’t know or know very well.
Some are Tricky – Make sure your child knows they should never go near any adult they don’t personally know who asks for assistance. Some “bad” adults might ask for help or even claim they are looking for a lost puppy, or kitten.

Lastly, make sure your children know that if they feel threatened or suspicions at all, it’s OK to scream. Tell your child that if they are ever in a situation that makes them uncomfortable, they have the right to say no, loud and clear.

Social Media and Home Break-Ins

Don’t believe that social media and home break-ins are related?

Social Media and Home Break-Ins

Google “home break-ins from Facebook posts” and you’ll get about 11 million returns. TV reports, newspaper reports, personal blogs…it’s a long list. Because it happens all too frequently.
When you are ‘friends’ with people on Facebook that you are not actually really friends with, how do you know whether they have good intentions?
The problem lies in that if Tom posts that he is so excited to take the family to Disney World next week. Sally likes the post. I don’t know Tom. I’ve never met Tom. I’m not friends with Tom, but I know Sally from high school and we’ve been friends on Facebook for years. I see Tom’s post in my news feed because Sally liked it or commented on it. Now, I might know some of Tom’s things I can sell after I fill the back of my car late some night next week.
Or, you have great photos of your house with house numbers (hello Google maps), the yard, and the car in the driveway. Maybe you shouldn’t really be checking in from the concert you’re at or the bar across town.
A recent segment on CNN discusses the risks that you may be taking while updating your Facebook status. You don’t know who is looking at your private information because it’s truly not private – it’s public. They told a story about a woman who found this out the hard way after she posted a simple status message on Facebook that she was going to see a band with her fiancé. It only took the burglars calling the venue to find out what time the show was to let them know when they could break into her home. The burglars showed up 35 minutes after she left for the concert.
It is that simple. You post a casual message to your “friends” that could turn into a nightmare where you lose personal property. Worse, what if there was a child there with a baby sitter? What if….
There is a very strong connection between social media and home break-ins.
Google it and you’ll see, there are horror stories in every community. No matter what privacy setting you have on your Facebook profile, your posts are public, permanent and exploitable. They are seen by more than “your friends”.

Security Guard Services in Florida – ESS Global Corp

Having a comfortable feeling of security is something that every person is entitled to. While sometimes it’s easier to guarantee security at home, a person still needs to feel safe no matter where he or she is when out of the house. Whether it’s going for a stroll some evening in one’s neighborhood or attending church. It could be attending a high school football game, or a concert venue to hear your favorite artist. People shouldn’t have to worry about their safety and security. In these types of environments, personal security can be greatly enhanced by the presence of a professional security service.
Neighborhood and HOA Security Patrols
Going for a walk after dinner is something that many people like to do. However, some people are afraid to undertake this walk activity after certain hours due to the fact that they’re worried about how secure their neighborhoods are. When that happens, a personal sense of security is diminished or even completely lost. If, however, these same neighborhoods, HOA’s and apartment complexes are monitored by our highly trained professional neighborhood security guard service, this can give residents the peace of mind that they need in order to feel comfortable going out at any time of the day or night. It’s a small investment for both safety and protection of property.
Workplace Security
Being productive at work depends on a number of different factors, but one important factor is feeling a sense of security and safety. Employers can do a great number of things to increase this sense of safety, such as issue ID cards and perform comprehensive background checks. However, many employers don’t understand that they can ensure that employees are safe in other ways, for instance, when they are traveling to their vehicles from the office building, or when an employee is terminated (or keeping that employee from coming back for trouble). When relying on a professional security services they can ensure that employees feel completely secure when they are entering, working, and exiting their office buildings with an affordable investment.
Churches and Non-Profits
Church violence is rising. Thousands of times a year violence happens within the walls of a church or religious center. Although the government does not track church violence, news reports put the figure in the tens of thousands over the last 15 years and deaths at nearly 500. ESS Global Corp can either provide faith-based security during church events or administer world class training that keeps your people prepared.
Venue Security
When thousands of people get together to attend a game, visit an attraction, or take in a concert, safety is the last thing on their minds. Venue security is critical to a successful event. ESS Global Corp works with entertainment, sports, and meeting management in venues all over the world to ensure that the venue security is robust and effective.
