This KID Isn't a BOY SCOUT!!
On a sunny Saturday afternoon I left my home around noon for about forty minutes. When I returned home a little neighbor girl, who had been riding her bike around the neighborhood, came to me and said a boy, about twelve years old, had been in my garage. She witnessed him enter the garage through the service door and spend a significant amount of time inside. As she told her story I debated with myself, "Am I really going to believe a ten-year old neighbor girl? Is it really that big of a deal? What is in my garage that is of value anyway? It's the middle of the day, and it's just a child, it's really no big deal." Was I right or wrong? I was absolutely wrong.
In this article my primary purpose is to inform you of what is happening in my local community, and very likely all around the country, and how you can protect yourself and your home from property theft.
I ignorantly convinced myself it was no big deal. I later found out it is a big deal and the boy in my garage was a scout, and I do not mean a Boy Scout. Scouting by definition is to search out, follow closely so as to spy upon, or to find by looking around. These scouts are in broad daylight, disguising themselves as regular folks taking a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood. While in reality they are scouting for items of value, and when they find something they can use or sell they return at night in an attempt to steal it. Yes, they are bold enough to walk into your garage, or anything else you have left unlocked.
We cannot prevent a scout from walking or driving by but we can arm ourselves with the knowledge of how to protect ourselves and our valuable possessions. There are very informative internet sites on how to protect your property.
The first practical step we took was to inform our neighbors, don't let them learn about scouting the hard way. Outdoor lighting is also very important, especially motion lights since they offer the element of surprise. Outdoor cameras are very affordable, and easy to install; often just the presence of a camera can deter questionable activity. Lastly, this is not Mayberry so lock your doors, even your garage doors.
My primary purpose in writing this article is to inform you of scouting. It is occurring and we need to be aware of it and begin taking precautions to protect from loss of property. As the owner of Protection Plus Solutions, we highly recommend that you contact your local Handyman Matters Franchise. They have qualified Handymen that can install the necessary protection you need to make your home safe! http://www.handymanmatters.com/

KNOCK, KNOCK... Who'e REALLY There?
With so many individuals out of work, the direct marketing approach, aka “Door to Door Sales” has taken off. The more people off work the harder it is to insure a thorough background screening has been conducted!
HOW SCAREY IS THAT!
These feet on the street diehards usually conduct business in the afternoon, early evening and week-ends. Most of these individuals have been sub-contracted with major fortune 500 companies to do the “grunt” work of accelerating sales, and getting people to switch over from one plan to another or from one company to another. But, just because they wear attire that says they’re affiliated with a major fortune 500 corporation doesn’t mean that they’re actually an employee! However, ask most folks about a “door to door” sales rep and more than half of those individuals will tell you they let them into their home!
More than ever companies are relying on extensive background checks to insure that the sales rep they’ve hired on contracted with is not a criminal. This is an excellent approach but it should NOT stop at the initial background screening… READ ON!!
Hello… many of you know me as the previous owner of Unity Marketing Group, a “door to door” marketing company that worked closely with Comcast, Charter Communications, BellSouth, Brighthouse Networks, just to name a few. BUT.. before owning UMG, I was a governmental employee that worked with local law enforcement and the FBI assisting them with various high profiled kidnapping and blue collar crimes for nearly 30 years. I know how critical a background check can be. This is why I opened Protection Plus Solutions.
Protection Plus Solutions not only runs all the background screening requirements that Cable Providers require such as National Criminal Searches, County Criminal Searches, Federal Record Searches, DMV, and Drug Screening.
We take it a STEP FURTHER! We require your sales rep to sign a release allowing your corporation the ability to review their background screen at anytime…BUT WHY STOP THERE????? WE DON’T! We also allow your CUSTOMER to REVIEW THEIR BACKGROUND REPORT by going into our easy to use online data base to check their background status. Unlike most background screening companies Protection Plus Solutions will ONLY BADGE a Sales Rep if they’ve CLEARED all background screening requirements!
But.. we’re STILL NOT DONE!! To insure that your sales rep is always clear we place each rep on Protection Plus Solutions “CrimSPY”. Each month we will monitor the sales rep and run them for any new criminal activity that you or your client may not know about. Other background screening companies do this once a year.. WE PROVIDE THIS SERVICE EVERY MONTH! If we get at “HIT” after they’re working for you and are out on the street, we will PULL their ID Badge and Notify you IMMEDIATELY!!
Protection is what we all strive for in this day and age. Protect your company and your customers with security! Get the word out to your customers that it’s OK to open that door!
KNOCK, KNOCK who’s there??? A Door to Door Sales Rep that’s been background screened by Protection Plus Solutions COME ON IN $$$$

Did you just hire a CRIMINAL???
An outstanding resume or nice appearance isn't enough in this day an age when you're looking to hire someone for a job. Many employers are cutting costs by running a background check once a year or in some cases not at all.
But, even if you run a background check at the time you hire someone are you still able to know if they get into trouble after they're hired? Pre-employment screening should not stop at the initial hiring process. CrimSPY®, a Protection Plus Solutions product can help assure that your hire is CRIME FREE.
By identifying criminal misconduct of employees, CrimSPY® helps your clients create a safer work environment and improve business performance. CrimSPY® regularly scans nationwide criminal databases and delivers notifications when criminal records are found. With CrimSPY®, your clients can easily stay informed of employees' criminal history. Frequently overlooked, this post-hire screening tool is critical to fully manage the risks associated with workplace theft and violence. CrimSPY® works in conjunction with our criminal background screening services. So, when you hire that Nanny, Child Care Provider, Elder Care Provider, Door to Door Sales Rep, or Employee you can rest assured knowing that you and your company has been protected by Protection Plus Solutions!
