Protecting Your Assets

CPTED or Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design has been around for quite some time. But it has really started to pick up steam in recent years as more and more businesses, government and even home owners learn about CPTED's benefits and seek to leverage its principles to build a more receptive, welcoming and safe space.

In this episode our hosts Luciano Cedrone and Brian Claman share their thoughts on CPTED benefits and how they apply it to their business as CPTED practitioners.

In this episode of Protecting Your Assets our hosts Luciano Cedrone and Brian Claman delve back into the world of Consultant selection. Mention the word consultant and reactions inevitable turn to "cost". Some will say they're too expensive while others may say they add little value!

The truth is that like anything else in this world; in the right circumstances and objectives; consultants can and do provide experience, expertise and value - especially when a client lacks the expertise in-house.

That's why in this episode our hosts talk about the importance of "doing your homework" to help set-up for a successful partnership with your business. Listen at https://feeds.captivate.fm/protecting-your-assets/ or any podcast platform or watch at https://youtu.be/I3sc3295Cp0

While Part 1 focused on the origins of Drones and their rise to prevalence; part 2 delves into the challenges of trying to establish oversight of the technology and what anyone thinking about implementing drones as part of their security program need to consider before fully pursuing a drone program.

Join us in the first of a two part series on Drone Tech with drone expert and aficionado James Acevedo. James has spent the better part of his career converting what was an initial interest of a "fringe" hobby into a business and consulting opportunity to lead the discussion on the future of the technology.
