how effective are armed response companies?

do they really offer you a solutions to the ever increasing crime?

is 20 minutes a suitable response time?

do you believe that armed response companies could be more effective or do you you think they just offer enough to make you think you getting a good deal? considering...no crime...no need for armed response.

do you believe receiving an sms notifying you on crimes in the area are effective?

do you believe neighbourhood watch works?

do you actively get involved in neighbourhood watch...or do you leave it up to everyone else to make your community a safer place?

what would you regard as effective measures to be taken...to make you home a safer place to live...

be it for you and your family to enjoy time out at home...

entering and leaving your premises...

or just general safety...

do you think we even have a crime problem in this country?

do you believe the topic is just a waste of time and when people in conversation bring it up... do you switch off and walk away becuase it doesnt affect you...and until it does...couldnt be bothered with it..because you live in fort knox and feel safe or believe it will never happen to you...

or have been affected by it but just keep putting up more beams...higher fences...cameras...and bigger dogs?
