Capture of Would-Be Denver Bicycle Thief Highlights the Unpredictable Nature of Security Needs, says United Protective Services LLC

The security firm comments on a recent news article that alert employees can sometimes help identify scammers and thieves, but only trained and experienced personnel can provide ongoing protection that’s available at a moment’s notice.

DENVER (PRWEB) May 02, 2018

An April 6 article in The Denver Post reports on the apprehension of a 28 year-old suspect after he allegedly attempted to steal a bicycle via a credit card scam. Employees recognized the ploy and, rather than surrendering the bike, told the suspect that they would make some adjustments and he could pick it up later. When the suspect arrived, local police were ready, and were able to quickly arrest the man after an abortive escape attempt. Area security firm United Protective Services LLC says that that, while the quick thinking of bicycle shop employees prevented the loss of expensive merchandise and allowed for the capture of the alleged perpetrator, a more aggressive thief might have been able to able to simply grab the bike and run. The presence of professional security guards not only means that employees have the ability to act rapidly and immediately alert professional security personnel when they spot would be thieves or scammers, the uniformed presence of personnel can actually prevent bad actors from making any attempt at an unarmed or armed robbery in the first place.

United Protective Services says that the presence of highly visible security personnel puts prospective perpetrators on notice that attempts at criminal conduct will be complicated in a way that most thieves are simply not prepared to deal with. In the majority of cases, criminals will simply move on to search for an easier target. The same applies to outdoor areas that might otherwise be vulnerable to vandals – on larger properties, security patrols in well-marked cars can perform a similar function. The firm says that, while the mere appearance of professional security can discourage many, it won’t necessarily discourage all bad actors. That’s why it’s important to have trained and experienced personnel who are ready to face just about any situation that might come up.

The security firm adds that good security work is not just a matter of brawn; brains really do play a crucial role. Specifically, all United Protective Services personnel are trained in de-escalation strategies. They note that disgruntled individuals actually present a more common security threat than deliberate wrongdoers, and often all that’s needed is a calm voice to remind a dangerous enraged person that acting out will only lead to a very unpleasant outcome.
