Management has cut back so far on staff that there are fewer of them to go around and in some cases they are doing double duty by attending to maintenance problems in the name of security. Rather than slamming security, we should be pushing management--whoever that may be now--to get their priorities straight. We don't need holiday decorations, we want safe and clean property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-65606154050776147792010-12-14T17:04:07.571-05:002010-12-14T17:04:07.571-05:00Cameras are most useful as a deterent (if the crim...Cameras are most useful as a deterent (if the criminals are smart enough to take note that they are there) and after the fact in helping to hunt down and prosecute. <br />They are just one component of a more comprehensive security strategy which certainly exists here in ST/PCV. Mobile patrols and fixed post security are highly visible throughout the community.<br />The biggest problem I see is the willingness of residents to let people into the buildings without using an access card or being buzzed in by a tenant. Also, quite often, at least here in PCV, the lower level doors are chocked open by residents or delivery people.<br />Bottom line - if we want to be safe we ALL have to work at it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-55454678547586465902010-12-08T17:24:23.299-05:002010-12-08T17:24:23.299-05:00I don't know, Double Parked.

Cost will always be a factor, but in a community like ST/PCV, where the NYPD does not patrol, something obviously has to be done to ramp up our security.<br /><br />Fixed posts and patrols do work. One of the operative tenets of security is visibility - make the bad guy choose to go somewhere else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
