RSU Safety Co-Op
- Picture this: A mayor and her city council get deluged by daily emails, phone calls, and media coverage of business owners and citizens saying crime is rising and they no long feel safe on the street, and they want solutions. Now.
- Picture this: A building owner is increasingly concerned for his investment as he loses leases for once thriving restaurants and stores. Where sidewalks were once populated by office workers and shoppers, they are now overwhelmed with people experiencing mental heath challenges, homelessness, and drug abuse.
- Picture this: A store owner is losing thousands to shoplifting just as she is beginning to hear her loyal customers are concerned about their own safety when shopping the neighborhood and eating at restaurants nearby.
A community should not have to experience police no-shows, screaming drug abusers, people using building alcoves for bathrooms, all while people selling drugs and committing property crimes are not held accountable. While the reasons for this state of affairs are varied and complex, there are solutions.
RSU’s Neighborhood Security program can be an important piece of a community’s public safety infrastructure. Quickly evolving public safety challenges now require private, flexible security solutions.
RSU understands the complexities of local government, business, and community public safety challenges and provides services that meet the moment. We use well-trained security personnel who know how to build relationships, de-escalate situations, use force of personality to gain compliance, help others feel safe in their presence, and represent our clients’ interests, even in tough situations.
Our Neighborhood Security services have been proven effective for our municipal, building ownership, and business clients by creating a “safety bubble” throughout a neighborhood or central business district.
RSU Neighborhood Security personnel are accepted as a helpful presence even for citizens who are reflexively opposed to police and security presence.
While a community should be able to expect public safety on its sidewalks and neighborhoods, in this extraordinary time our cities, businesses, and citizens, need extra help in providing order, safety, and preservation of public and private property. RSU is here for that.
