Free One Hour Video Protects Your Family From Criminals
Aptos California: In the wake of a 500% increase in violent crime
in the last 40 years, 88,000 registered sex offenders in
California alone, and one in 32 adults in the US either in
prison, jail, on parole or probation, a not-for-profit
organization has taken on the challenge to do something about it.
American Council on Personal Safety, an organization with over
300 volunteer members has produced a free, one hour crime
prevention seminar and video entitled, 'Protecting Yourself, Your
Family, and Your Home.'
Robert Chesney, producer of 'Window On Wall Street' and now
Spokesperson for American Council on Personal Safety states,
"With a violent crime occurring ever 22 seconds in the US, a rape
every 5.8 minutes, and a murder every 34 minutes we live in the
most violent period in modern times. If not for the advances
in emergency room medicine, the murder rate would be ten time
higher. Fortunately, 98% of all crime is premeditated and can be
prevented if you know what to look for and what to do. American
Council on Personal Safety, through its 300 volunteer members and
its free, one hour crime prevention video is teaching Americans
exactly what to look for and what to do to prevent themselves,
and their families from becoming a victims of crime."
ACPS volunteers in your town will come to your place of
business, civic clubs, community centers and government offices
to provide a free one hour training seminar covering lifesaving
topics including:
* The Truth About Crime in America Today * The Criminal's Wish List * 50 Ways to Protect What is Important to You * A Trained Mind and Body-Your Best Defense * Other Options to Protect Yourself, your Family, and Your Home * And Much More
For those towns that do not yet have a trained ACPS Volunteer,
for a limited time only, you can order a free, one hour video of
the ACPS presentation, narrated by Window on Wall Street's Robert
Chesney.
Christine Keyes, Vice President and Branch Manager of Wells
Fargo Bank in Aptos, California understands the importance of
ACPS crime prevention training. Since 1979 she has been the
victim of nine robberies and a home invasion. She is living
proof that with one in 32 adults in the US having a criminal
record it is not a question of 'IF' you or your family will come
in contact with a violent criminal, but rather a question of
'WHEN.' Upon hearing about the American Council on Personal
Safety, Branch Manager Keyes arranged for ACPS to provide their
crime prevention seminar for her staff at Wells Fargo. Says Ms.
Keyes, "American Council on Personal Safety provides a very
timely and impressive presentation. I found the material
especially intriguing and sobering. What ACPS is doing through
their volunteer member's efforts is quite commendable."
"As with anything in this great country of our, Americans
want a choice", says Robert Chesney, National Spokesperson for
ACPS, "Do we want our families to live in fear, or do we want
to know what to look for and what to do to prevent criminal
attack. American Council on Personal Safety provides that choice
and it is free of charge."
The American Council On Personal Safety delivers their
fully researched and very valuable crime prevention and personal
safety training through public service lectures, provided at no-
charge by their many volunteer members throughout the U.S.
ACPS is also offering a free 60-minute video or DVD available
to individuals, businesses, civic groups and other organizations
through their website at www.acps.us. The video entitled,
"Protecting Yourself, Your Family, and Your Home" is available
free of charge through the generosity of corporate sponsors and
