After the horrific blasts that struck the finish line of the Boston Maraton earlier this morning, local security is being tightened across the country, from Baltimore to Los Angeles.
For example, the Chicago Tribune reports that this tragedy could reshape the way Illinois handles security. Authorities in Chicago are looking to Boston for clues as to how they can improve their own security in the future, especially for large-scale events that will draw thousands of people.
For the most part, boosting security in public transit and large-scales events are the focus for major cities like London, New York City, and Washington DC says NPR.
Although it’s not currently known who carried out the attack, several news sources reported a White House official saying the explosions will be investigated as an act of terror.
So, what can you do to protect yourself?
You may feel more vulnerable now, but the fact is we should all be keeping up with a moderate level of security awareness all the time, not just after national tragedies. Security guards on the premises of your residential or commercial space can help to deter many kinds of criminal activity. Give us a call today at the Curtis Security Headquarters if you could use extra security, and the extra peace of mind that comes with it.
