Americans Must Create Their Own Safety!

As heated debate about depolicing by demoralised police departments; episodic mass shootings at schools and even a yoga studio continues, it hammers home a point I've devoted myself to making: Americans must create their own safety!

Deep tears are being ripped methodically into our social compact by those who want self-defense, personally and by police, abolished in favor of career criminals who have cheerleaders in think tanks and elected offices across the nation. These tears leave gaping holes in personal and property safety which criminals are happily taking advantage of on a deadly daily basis.

Americans facing this Urban Apocalypse of enabling violent crime and disabling vital crime fighting by law enforcement and law abiding citizens must work within comfort zones and the law to create safety amid sanctioned insecurity.

As an " UrbanSafetyist, " I'm a combination consultant and safety advocate, working alongside individuals, groups, businesses and event organizers to mobilize awareness and taking action to displace negativity plaguing too many of our cities.

After establishing a client or community members comfort zone, I work beside them to put our mutually agreed upon plan into action.

Some plans involve allowing me to contact the local police district, with whom I've cultivated a relationship, on behalf of reluctant complainants who either have lost confidence in local law enforcement or frankly, dislike cops.

The plan serving as the foundation for my role as safety creator for a local anchor institution has mobilized its business owners to contact me regarding suspicious activity where once they remained silent and the building suffered routine waves of people being harassed, robbed and vehicles stolen due to strangers being allowed to roam into businesses inside the building at will.

After nearly a dozen arrests this year; trespassers being banned and known troublemakers escorted off the property, the institution where I'm head of security is infinitely more secure because its constituents united with me to create their own safety.

This is what can happen when Americans stop worrying about ideology and start worrying about creating their own safety amid growing, sanctioned  insecurity.

Events Reflect Energy!

( From UrbanSafetyist on Instagram ): Events Reflect Energy! When considering #SafetyCreation for occasions with their organizers, I use this measuring rod: Events reflect energy! Organizers radiating hostility and incivility invariably host events filled with hostility and incivility. I warn younger #EventSecurity professionals to avoid gatherings offering " Baghdad ( meaning private military contractor level ) risk minus Baghdad monetary reward. " I resonate with calm, creative energy. Organizers radiating this type of energy  are welcome partners. #SafeFun is my goal at events, not feeling like a de facto correctional officer looking over my shoulder for predatory patrons to the accompaniment of a booming background beat. Been there, done that. Events reflect energy. Make sure any occasion u work is one whose energy meshes well with ur own. #CapBlackUrbanSafetyist #SecurityPhilosopher  #headofsecurity

Looking. Assessing. Creating.

Image
We choose the conditions we accept,  knowingly, unwittingly and in ways great and small. Let's accept good ones by consciously, collectively creating them. Tragic Example: When the collective consciousness of my old neighborhood shifted from the quiet, dignified productivity of my grandparents, parents and even my generation to insurgent loud, larcenous, lethal counterproductivity, I saw firsthand what happens when negative conditions become the norm. The Solution?: Keep looking. Keep assessing. Keep creating safety and civility and opportunity daily and unapologetically displace negativity. #capblacksafetycreator #securityphilosopher #safetyandsupportmanager #selfdevelopment #selfrealization #selfactualization #orator #writer

#RewardSeeker: Expanded #Bountyhunting.

#RewardSeekers: Expanded #Bountyhunting. ( From UrbanSafetyist on Instagram ): People who are wanted by the law, and unwanted by victims, families, friends, and victim advocates, may need pursuers beyond the ranks of overburdened law enforcement and  #bailagents facing competition from the pre trial release movement. Many moons ago back home, as my #SafetyCreation Theory took shape, I applied the basic role of  #bountyhunter to non #bail related fugitives: child support, probation and parole violators and fugitives advertised in local papers. Some long term #bountyhunters had shared this expansion of #fugitiverecovery and I explored it. My working title for such  endeavors is Reward Seeker ( RS ). A reward seeker is an expanded bounty hunter whose #motivation isn't always monetary ( Gasp!, Lol ) and doesn't require an intermediary like a bail agent. #Motivation runs the gamut from the thrill of the " hunt " per se to the satisfaction of ins...
