What is the best action for security at my business?




janis


Sorry fairly long, but I do need advise. First, I want to tell you is the building sits in a residential neighborhood but it is commercial zone; it in the middle of the second block off a major highway and there is mix of residential and commercial properties in the two blocks. But most of the commercial properties face the highway. My building doesn't face the highway it is actually the last building before the zoning change. The other commercial buildings on my block are: next to mine is blight building (working on getting it torn down) and the other is the rear part of a motel. So there isn't a lot of foot traffic on the street during the day. My husband and I bought this building at an auction for little of nothing. Since the building is a double we figure we can lease one part and use the other part as a showroom for his construction business. Now, at the time of purchase the neighborhood was a quite neighborhood with little to no problems despite the motel. However, in the last year we have notice a lot more police presents. ( I want to mention we do live a block from the building) The motel have been attracting more criminals and more problems. The police have blocked streets off and have conducted searches for criminals (by foot and car) about 4 times since February of 2011 that we have notice. This activity usually take place at night, after business hours; however, that doesn't give me any comfort. My problem is the motel sits behind my building and as it stands now I will be in the showroom by myself 98% of the time. Keep in mind the street doesn't have a lot foot traffic during the day but do have car traffic. It makes me nervous to think I will be by myself in a business where people can come and go openly. I don't want criminals to get any ideas. So, I need suggestions on how to become less attractive to criminals. My husband would like to start the business slow and build a clientele by having only his clients and walk-ins to begin with. His clients I don't mind but walk-ins is the problem. My ideas: 1) To hire one or two people on commission bases 2) appointments only 3) appointments only with employees on a commission base only - to start with 3) of course cameras 4) have a buzz door to let people in 5) get a dog. Please, give me some suggestions on what to do with this situation. (I do know if we hire employees my husband slow build up clientele plan would not work) with that do the commission base employees bring in their own business or do we bring to them? Any and all serious suggestions, please. Thank you.


Answer
i would need to see pictures of the entire place.

IT might be better, frankly, to offer the building out to someone else on a lease purchase basis
and find one that has more immediate access to the demographics you like. YOU said it cost
next to nothing, so, your risk on a lease out option is minimal.

I can also advise husband how to grow a construction firm..........almost perfect timing for this.

get back to me

Why do people always bring up the native americans?

Q. Ive been searching through a lot of questions regarding immigration in western europe and America, Many individuals think that immigration should stop completely, while I don't agree that immigration should stop completely I agree that they should reduce the numbers, especially in my home country sweden where it's already hard to get a job, I simply don't understand why we should take in more than what we can take care of. And it also seems like my culture is declining. But I am getting ahead of myself here. Basically it seems like a lot of people bring up the native Americans, for example, let's say I lived in America, and let's say I would express that I wanted immigration to slow down, many people would say "Well maybe you should move back to europe, I'm pretty sure the native Americans didn't like it when your ancestors invaded their lands." I mean, first of all, why should they (Mostly white americans) be blamed for what their ancestors did? And why should we let the same mistakes happen again? What happened to the natives was horrible, why let something like that happen again? shouldn't we learn from our own mistakes instead of letting the same thing happen again? And sure, it's not like anyone is actually killing whites off, But white people are becoming a minority because of mass immigrations, many of you will probably say "what's wrong with that?" and I think a lot is wrong with that, And I don't like that the native europeans will be the minority in the future because of mass immigration.
Maybe we should focus on giving them a better life instead of talking about how horrible it was.
As stated, I live in europe, so I don't live on what happened to the natives. And I never stated that whites were natives in America. And how am I supposed to explain that? I did not write those laws, But I don't approve them at all, All women should be safe from violence. And what do you want white people to do? what happened in the past happened, it's done. Maybe we should try to prevent mass immigration from destroying another group of people, it's all about learning from past failures.

I personally would like it if "white" people gave themselves an ethnic identity and stopped referring to themselves by a perceived skin color which they do not have. Most "white" people I have met are a pinkish-peach color, lightly beige, sometimes tan. Its kinda weird that every other human being has an ethnic identity not wrapped up in groundless beliefs.

Now that THAT is out of the way...

I see you are incredibly ignorant of CURRENT issues regarding native americans. Yes, the past is the past and we can't change it now, but it IS what brought us to our present, so understanding the TRUE events of the past and not the distorted versions that are fed through the media and public school systems would be an excellent way to start abolishing ignorance and promoting understanding.

CURRENTLY, these are some of the issues Native Americans are dealing with on account of their "white" oppressors.

1. Land theft (yes, even today) http://www.democracynow.org/2012/5/11/un_probe_us_should_return_stolen http://www.nativelegalupdate.com/articles/land-use/ http://www.cradleboard.org/curriculum/powwow/lessons/highsocial/hs_con_4.html
My tribe had to go to court to get our main village sight, which had been annexed by the federal government with the promise of return when they were finished using it for military purposes. It IS to this day, our HOME. On any given day, regardless of weather, you will see Suquamish people on the shores of Old Man House beach, whether it is simply to gaze out at the water and think about their life's problems, drawing strength from the surroundings of 19,000 years worth of belonging to that exact spot, or just to have a picnic with the kids. We are always here and always have been, and always will be. And we had to sue the government to force them to recognize this. http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/healing-resistance/going-home
2. Resources- when we GAVE the federal government the rights to a percentage of our natural resources (again, legally we are recognized as the legal owners of our natural resources) we reserved a percentage to remain in our posession. These resources are constantly being stolen as well, in this day in age, by non-natives alive at this very moment (though most are unaware) http://www.assatashakur.org/forum/afrikan-world-news/9751-government-steals-natives-resources.html http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CFUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.culturechange.org%2Fcms%2Fcontent%2Fview%2F336%2F65%2F&ei=mwoHUIDEB4jNqgGc44HHCA&usg=AFQjCNEwXjpu4O8sY7feaC3-dmh782MyXw
3. Monitary Theft- Native americans are the only ethnic group specifically targeted for the theft of INDIVIDUAL trust accounts, that means any native american person as an individual human being is targeted in this scheme simply due to their ethnicity and financial resources. Senator John McCain is the ONLY politician I have ever heard of that openly criticized the Federal government for this. http://www.monitor.net/monitor/free/biatrustfund.html
4. Physical violence against native americans goes unpunished- http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/07/10/993043/-Skinheads-Hunt-Native-American-Family-Guess-Who-Gets-Arrested

My own father was out walking his dog one night in his quiet, suburban neighborhood and stopped at a local gas station to get a snack. On his way home, he was jumpped, beaten, stabbed and left for dead. They didn't even take his wallet, and called him a "filthy indian". They had an army bumper sticker on their truck and were wearing their uniforms. NOTHING happened to them, the investigation was closed within 24 hours, even though the security cameras at the gas station clearly caught the image of the truck and the military housing unit the truck drove off to was within 1/2 mile of where the incident took place.
