SafetyCreator

( Recent Instagram Post): When crack and its volcanic violence overran my neighborhood, it was clear all I and my terrified, urban senior citizen neighbors had to depend upon was ourselves. I checked on them; answered their phone calls and passed along observations to the police. It was a holding action and ultimately, my neighborhood died. My passion to create safety didn't die with it. This experience was the embryo and nucleus for what eventually became my #SafetyCreation theory: working with people, within their comfort zones, where they live, play and work, to actively #displacenegativity instead of suffering in silence. Faces and places change but the mission remains the same. Have No Fear, Cap Black is Here! wasn't a slogan- it's a battle cry! :)  #CapBlackUrbanSafetyist

What does #Potential look like? Your  guess is as good mine! Lol Luckily, others see our #innerselves through  infinite forms of #selfexpression, #manifestation, #creativity, i.e., the endless ways #energy is transmitted and #transmuted. You can't see my Potential but you can see it in action: as professed #SafetyCreation, as passion for #selfdevelopment and as zeal to unite with #likeminds to displace negativity in our community. That's what Potential, mine at least, looks like. #CapBlackUrbanSafetyist

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.

Retail experts always advise that good customer service is also good security. As a professional safety creator at a building frequented by many, greeting them is part and parcel of the safety creation process. It's also the "G" in G.A.P., which stands for, Greeting-Assessing-Patrolling, which describes how I create safety in the building I secure and at events I work elsewhere. A salutation makes someone feel welcome. It also gives him a point of contact for questions- a valuable service for newcomers and seasoned stakeholders seeking answers.  If this someone has bad intentions, it also lets him know he's been noticed. Knowing this can help deter unwanted behavior. It also helps identify individuals worthy of extra scrutiny if their response is hostile or startled in a suspicious manner. Assessing occurs continually while I'm working. It goes hand in hand with patrolling, which is the last part of the G.A.P. acronym. Assessing and patrolling...

https://wgntv.com/2018/11/11/multiple-wounded-in-robbins-bar-shooting-police-say/ Jemel Roberson: Victim of Creating Safety while Black? As a 52 year old professional safety creator  ( consultant and advocate for event organizers and businesses  ) the recent death of 26 year old Jemel Roberson, a suburban Illinois nightlife security professional, at the hands of a responding officer is an especially bitter pill to swallow. As an older Black man, I grieve that a younger one is dead providing a service I've also provided for decades.  When the story first broke, my assumption was he'd detained an assailant in a shooting there and was somehow mistaken for an assailant. This assumption was confirmed by later news coverage and my grief is heightened by reports that witnesses shouted to police that Roberson was working security, in order to avoid what happened anyway. I'm a police supporter. My advocacy has focused on working with them and not serial denuncia...

We live in an era of digital surveillance cameras; facial recognition software; license plate readers; tipster apps on smart phones; actual security robots on patrol and other high tech crime fighting tools. They make the task of safety creation, professional and personal, much easier. I do caution allies who feel these innovations are the only way to save the day that looking out for each other remains the highest technology at our our command. I illustrate my point by underscoring that aside from being a quantum leap in criminal identification, these innovations still can't apprehend suspects. They aren't like the Autobots from the Transformers comic book, cartoon and movie series. Not yet at  least. The simple yet supremely important act of looking out for each other is the highest technology brought to bear against crime. Our sheer numbers as members of the public and potential to displace negativity which innovations can only document and report about can...
