Protect Yourself From Dangerous Criminals

By: Sean O’Leary A convicted rapist who is considered a “high risk to re-offend” has been released from prison and is living in Toronto. Ronald Peter Tibando was convicted of raping two women in parking garages in 1980. He was paroled in 1989, but was placed back in prison after assaulting a woman as she stepped off of a bus. He also assaulted two female staff members while in prison. Toronto Police Services issued a community safety notification upon his release. This situation highlights the need to remain aware of your surroundings and who lives and works in your neighbourhood at all times. This is especially true for when you are traveling alone. Tibando attacked his victims in parking garages and parks; isolated areas where he could catch them alone. Whenever you are alone in an area where others cannot easily see or hear you, be sure to exercise extra caution. Stay alert and watch your surroundings and avoid any situations where you could be harmed. When in doubt, call a friend on your cell phone and tell him or her everything that’s going on. Reporting someone’s appearance to a friend over the phone could keep you safe. If you feel as if you are in danger, take a different route and avoid the situation all together.

How Internal Fraud Can Bankrupt Your Company

When most people think of theft and damages to a company, they think of burlaries and vandalism caused by those outside the organization While such attacks do happen, they’re not the most common forms of theft for most businesses.Unfortunately, most companies have much more serious problems dealing with fraud and theft from within their own organizations. However, there are steps you can take to protect your business. In cases of theft, one of the best ways to secure your business is by having security cameras. Not only do you need cameras in areas where clients or visitors may be entering, but these cameras should be in any location in your office where theft could occur.Stock rooms, supply rooms and other locations are targets for thieves working within your company. But that isn’t all you should worry about. It is much more common, and often much more costly, when employees use financial records and company technology to steal from your business. It makes sense when you think about it. It’s difficult for someone to walk out of an office undetected with several boxes of company property, but it’s possible for someone with access to the company’s financial information to quietly cause quite a bit of damage without being detected. It’s important for companies to have proper checks and balances in place and to regularly look into audit trails and accounting practices to prevent losses. On the technology front, you should always be aware of how your employees are using company computers and limit their access to data they have no need for.
