Auto Theft Awareness

Auto theft is a big and profitable business occurring more often in large

cities. It can happen in just less than a minute. More cars are seeminglystolen for transportation, while others for the value of their parts. Car thefts

seem to occur with greater frequency where large groups of cars are parkedfor etended periods of time in places such as shopping centers, colleges,

sporting events, movie complees, and large apartment complees. It

occurs in random on different days of the week and times of the day,depending on the locations.

ATM Safety and Security Tips

ecause of the variety of A%Ms, the unique characteristics of each

installation and crime considerations of each location, no single formula canguarantee the security of A%M costumers. It is necessary for A%M costumers

to consider the environment around each A%M and various procedures forremaining safe when using an A%M. Criminals select their victims and

targets, focusing on the unaware or unprepared. %hey are also drawn toenvironmental conditions that enhance the opportunity to successfully

blind area in close proimity to the costumer0s transactions. 1elect an A%Mlocated near the center of a building. An A%M further from the corner

reduces the element of surprise by an assailant and increase effective

reaction time by the user. ! Identify an A%M with maimum natural surveillance and visibility from

the surrounding area. %his will create a perceived notion of detection by acriminal and increases the potential for witnesses.

! 1elect an A%M at a location void of barriers blocking the line of sight.%his includes shrubbery, landscaping, signs and decorative partitions or

dividers. arriers provide hiding areas for would#be assailants.

! 1elect an A%M that is in a well#lighted location. ! 1elect an A%M that is monitored or patrolled by a security officer.

! 1elect an A%M with a wide angle transaction camera. ! Avoid A%M locations with large perimeters parking lots and numerous

ingress and egress points.
