How to Get the Police to Investigation Your Crime

Did you ever report a crime to the police to have them say there is nothing they can do about it?

Or have your reported something you were not sure was a crime and to have then thank you for reporting. They have created an information only file.

In this week's episode of Safe Realty, I discuss:

• Two local criminal harassment (stalking) cases that the police would not investigate

• What steps can be taken to gather evidence

• How to get the police to be accountable and investigate your complaint, so you feel safe

If you have felt like:

• You've been harassed

• No one took you seriously

• The police told you there was nothing they could do, but you felt differently

Open House Safety - Part 2: Crimes of Distraction

In this week's episode of Safe Realty, I go further into open house safety as it pertains to the world of real estate. 

Remember the movie Home Alone, when the bad guys are casing a beautiful house just before a family goes away at the holidays, only to break into the home and steal all high end goods? 
This is what bad guys do at realtors® open houses, and not just here on Vancouver Island. 

We will talk about:

•  how casing and distraction crime occurs at a real estate agent's open house

•  how to prevent distraction crime 

•  how to recognize casing

•  how best to prepare your sellers in order to protect their homes for sale.

Listen while you prepare your open house or while showing opens. Share this episode with another real estate agent who you know is out doing business right now!

Survivor Mentality: Facing the Unexpected

In this episode of the Safe Realty Podcast, I am  joined by my husband, James Cutler, a retired police officer, to discuss his take on the highest risk situations.

You know when we go for a run, or show a remote property to a sketchy client, or find ourselves alone in a parkade at night with a stranger? What would you do if that person attacked you and the fight for your life was on?  

Today James gets honest and shares a harrowing personal story from his policing career that highlights the critical nature of decision-making in dangerous encounters. The conversation emphasizes the need for mental preparedness, the empowerment that comes from believing in one's ability to survive, and practical techniques for self-defense that anyone can use in a crisis.

We discuss violence and worst case scenarios, so please take care while listening today.
