About Crime School Podcast with Security Expert Chris E. McGoey

About the Crime School Podcast My idea for a Crime School Podcast came in response to several decades of speaking to business owners, and crime victims about how to reduce their risk of physical harm and/or property loss caused by criminal activity. Security expert Chris E. McGoey is the host of Crime School. He facilitates talk-show discussions with industry experts, crime victims, and product manufacturers about the methods, tactics, and tools being used to prevent crime. Chris E McGoey Crime victims learned the hard way that the laws of society, the police, and private security didn't protect them from crime. Becoming a crime victim reminded them that personal safety and preventing property loss at home, at a place of business, or when out in public is primarily their responsibility until help arrives. Most crime victims admit that they didn't think much about crime prevention or make plans to prevent specific types of crime, but would now like to learn more about it if the training was accessible and affordable. Let’s not kid ourselves, career criminals have their own crime school and learn their trade in the street, in prison, and online. Unfortunately, their methods of operation adapt faster than law enforcement and private security and their tactics are constantly evolving with new technology." I’m a practicing security consultant and retired licensed private investigator. I've been studying crime and loss prevention and security management for over 50 years. I’m still learning new things. I see new variations in old criminal methods of operation all the time, especially with the new technology that criminals often use to their advantage.
