What happens in your community if a home is burglarized, vandalized, or other activity occurs to which security officers and/or local law enforcement respond. Is information about the security incident shared with residents?
Panorama has 24x7 security patrol. Mostly one officer on duty but shifts overlap so at those times there will be two officers on campus. These officers are non-commissioned, unarmed, public safety personnel who do not possess arrest powers beyond those of a private citizen. They collaborate with other departments of Panorama and local first responders to address needs.
We also have a team called SAFE - Secure Against Fraud and Exploitation that helps residents prepare and respond to fraud incidents. When a resident experiences a scam or other fraudulent activity, a SAFE incident report is posted on our social network. Resident privacy is of course protected, but a basic description of how the incident occurred and what the SAFE team did to help them recover is provided, along with cautionary advice to help others avoid such a situation.
However, if a home is burglarized or vandalized, or other activity occurs to which our security officers (and often local law enforcement as well) respond, Panorama management is very selective about whether these incidents are reported, and how much information is given.
Is this apparent restricting or withholding of communication a common approach in other communities? What would be the reason either for or against reporting security incidents?
