Donna Attends Situational Awareness & Homeless Seminar
|
|
On November 7th, I attended a seminar provided by Securitas Security Services USA. The event was well-received on Situational Awareness/Homelessness within the Greater Long Beach and the South Bay Area. This is a very important issue that creates safety and security concerns, as well as sensitive social concerns. The discussion highlighted regulations, thoughtful strategies, and solutions to maintain personal safety.
Securitas, a top leader in protective services, is proud to provide dedicated industry professionals and subject matter experts to host educational, security-focused seminars for their clients, prospective clients, and the greater business community.
