Summit Off Duty Services’ Post

Leadership! Smiles, relationships, communication...just a few of the key elements to be discussed in Rhose Island. I look forward to adding value to these wonderful leaders.

Whether in K12 schools or other settings, fights are one of the most common precursor events for shootings and edged weapons assaults, this can be especially so if fights are reheated to gang activity. My experience has been generally consistent with the CDC's findings that 45% of homicides on school property involve "interpersonal disputes" and 25% are related to gang activity. This is why we advise our clients to focus on reducing fights in schools combined with assertive approaches to address gang activity to prevent the most common types of situations that result in violent deaths. While active shooter events get the lions share of media coverage they are actually one of the rarest scenarios for death by homicide in K12 schools. Each of these types of deadly violence should be addressed rather than only those that get the most media attention. #schoolsecurity #schoolshootings #schoolsecurityexperts #schooldistricts

Ponder Diversity Group stands united with the City of Chicago and Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) - O'Hare & Midway International Airports in the crucial mission to combat gun violence in Chicago and nationwide. This initiative not only prioritizes public safety but also underscores a moral obligation, especially for communities on the city’s south and west sides. Understanding the intricate factors contributing to gun violence, such as socioeconomic disparities, access to firearms, mental health challenges, social influences, and systemic inequalities, is paramount. Urgent action is essential to address this pressing issue and its severe impact on Black and diverse communities. Efforts to tackle gun violence require holistic approaches encompassing prevention, intervention, enforcement, and community empowerment. These strategies aim to foster safe environments where everyone can flourish without the shadow of fear or harm. Commendations to Mayor Brandon Johnson, the City of Chicago, and CDA Commissioner Jamie Rhee for their unwavering commitment to the well-being and future of all Chicago communities by taking a firm stand to eliminate gun violence once and for all.⚫️ #endgunviolence #epidemic #cityofchicago #chicagodepartmentofaviation #CDA #publicsafety #moralimperative #socialjustice #systemicinequality #equity #communityempowerment

Our policing structure in best practices

A good example of how acoustic gunshot detection, in this case Shotspotter, can be a force multiplier and aid in crime fighting. While I don’t think they help prevent mass shootings, they can aid in response and help pinpoint trouble areas in real-time. I don’t know how the Springfield, MA (my hometown, BTW) installation is configured or what it’s integrated with, but from experience with similar installations around the country, these systems, when combined with other capabilities like municipal ALPR and strategically placed cameras, can be a very powerful tool. When used as stand-alone systems, their value is compromised. It’s good that this specific response led to such a large drug bust. Hopefully, the 730 bags of heroin Ramos-Santanna had in his possession leads to a long and uncomfortable prison sentence.  #physicalsecurity #gunshotdetection #security #safestreets ShotSpotter activation leads to arrest after police recover Glock switch, drugs in Springfield (westernmassnews.com)

We teamed up with Savills for a fantastic Police Awareness Day at 30 Broadwick Street, led by Security Manager Luke Gizzi, continuing our ongoing collaboration with local policing teams. The goal was to engage with business and local community to increase awareness of ongoing risks and safety issues. The event provided a warm atmosphere for everyone to connect with the dedicated police officers. Together, it is important that we are building a stronger sense of community and collaboration, with the aim of creating safer neighbourhoods. Topics that took centre stage: 1️⃣ Phone Snatching - Learn how to stay one step ahead! 2️⃣ Cycle Locks and Safety - Free locks for a more secure ride! 3️⃣ Drink Spiking Awareness - Stay vigilant and look out for each other! 4️⃣ Handheld Panic Alarms - Your safety matters, grab a free panic alarm! A very useful day with lots of engagement and personal security lessons to take away for all. #personalsecurity #securitycollaboration #sohobusiness #safehaven

🔔 In case you missed it: 🎥 Below are some of the key points from The Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023, which passed through its final stages in the Dáil yesterday.

Public inquiries are set up to consider incidents of major public concern. Currently these include undercover policing, the Grenfell Tower fire, the Post Office Horizon scandal and the Covid-19 pandemic.      A new House of Lords committee has been set up to consider the way these inquiries work. It will be exploring issues including the time and cost of inquiries.     The Statutory Inquiries Committee wants your views on whether the system set up under the Inquiries Act 2005 is the best for running inquiries and how it could be improved.      📄 Find out more and get involved https://lnkd.in/evgMXXaj    #HouseOfLords #PublicInquiries #GrenfellTower #PostOfficeHorizonScandal #COVID19
