Ghosts and goblins might be scary, but on Halloween night, the real threats are far less supernatural. Crimes like vandalism, burglary, and assault see an increase during this hectic season, when fireworks displays and alcohol-fuelled celebrations set the stage for criminals to make their move.  It is important for homeowners, businesses and events to be on guard against this kind of behaviour. While the RCMP have stated that they will take additional measures to help protect the public on Halloween, here are some crucial steps for preserving your safety and security this week.
·         If you’re hosting an event, consider Optimum’s professional security guard services. Don’t let a few bad apples spoil your spooky celebration.
·         Consider Optimum’s Mobile Patrol service for your business to ensure that your hard-earned property is protected from vandals and thieves
·         If your children are trick-or-treating, make sure that they travel in groups with adult supervision.
·         If children are trick-or-treating alone, instruct them to only approach to well-lit houses in familiar neighborhoods, and advise them to never enter houses.
·         Carry a flashlight, dress in reflective clothing and avoid jaywalking.
·         If you have a home alarm system, be sure to set it before leaving your house. Ensure that all doors and windows are secured.
If you have any additional security concerns this Halloween, contact Optimum Security. We have a wide range of services to help keep you, your loved ones and your property safe from what goes bump in the night.
