A quote from a speaker at a national law enforcement executive meeting NYC 2022

“In 2022, private enterprise including retail operations, is generally not equipped or prepared to prevail against localized widespread social disorder when riotous mobs target individual businesses for vandalism, theft or arson. This has resulted from a loud and violent segment of the population intent on destroying social order at a time when urban law enforcement agencies are being defunded by municipal governments and the ranks are being decimated due to retirements, resignations, and anemic recruitment and hiring outcomes. American cities are like a tinderbox ready to ignite. Unfortunately, there seems to be no relief on the near to mid horizon and businesses operating in urban settings are evaluating novel approaches for risk reduction through unconventional asset protective measures.”
