Increase in Crime and Sherman Oaks and 11 other areas

STOP AND READ ME-YOU ARE WORTH IT!
It is Vikki again and most of you know that my blog is usually not intended to promote Flam's Lock and key, however today is different and here are the reasons:
Yesterday I received a neighborhood crime alert from Public Safety First that reported a significant increase in violent and property crimes in Sherman Oaks and 11 other areas. This is for the period July 14 through July 20.

I was pleased to get the alert but when I read this I was once again concerned as as your security expert because that the article advised visiting Public Safety First for information on how to make your neighborhood safer.

I have blogged before on the importance of knowing that we are the security professionals, not the police, not big box store employees or scam locksmiths.
It is OUR job to keep abreast of over 2,000 security products, including high security locks and to know that it is the entire door that provides security, not just your lock. It is our job to protect what you most value and that your
pysical security (not our alarms) is the first line of defense.

It is your job to keep your head above the sand and to know who to call BEFORE you need a security professional and not after. Crime will only get worse when prisoners are released. It is also your job to shop integrity and not price as integrity ensures the best price, not to mention you don't want to hand your keys to a stranger.
Flam's has been blessed to be a part of Sherman Oaks and the rest of the Valley for over 60 years and 3 generations and simply and perhaps corney we just care!
Whether it is to scedule a goup security event or upgrade your home or business security just know we have an educated team to protect what you most value.

Yours in Security,
Vikki
