Whether it is workplace violence, home invasions, car jacking, armed robbery, rape, identity theft or any of a number of other crimes, YOU need to take the controls, and arm yourself with the best available preventative measures.
One of those preventative measures is making yourself aware of who you are dealing with, through criminal background searches. Perform an individual background check on the contractor and crew that you have hired to renovate your house, the plumber, your nanny, your new neighbor. You get the idea. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Know who and what you are dealing with. Arm your self with information. Don’t allow yourself to become blind-sided.
