SECURITY SYSTEM ALERT: Have you
recently switched your BUSINESS or HOME PHONE LINES to a new
provider or format? Consumers switch their telephone service from a
traditional analog land line to DIGITAL service for a
variety of reasons, and discover after the fact that their
alarm system is not compatible with DIGITAL and there may be
issues with alarm signal transmission. We have received
reports of systems not communicating properly over Time
Warner, Cox, and Verizon services. If you have switched, it is important to
contact Central Security Services, Inc.,
immediately.

CARJACKING: A VERY REAL THREAT.
Security Precautions
Shouldn't End When You Walk Out The Door.
Riverside County Sheriff's Department Press
Release: September 18, at
approximately 6:10 p.m., officers responded to the 4100
block of Perris Boulevard regarding a report of a carjacking
that had just occurred. The victim said he drove into the
parking lot at the location and exited his car. As soon as
the victim got out of his car, the suspect got out of the
passenger seat of a dark-colored sedan parked nearby. The
suspect approached the victim, brandished a chrome handgun
and demanded the victim’s car keys. The victim gave the
suspect the keys and the suspect drove the car
away.
Parking lots, shopping centers, gas stations, car
washes, convenience stores, ATMs, and hotels are all prime
carjacking locations. Keep in mind that close proximity to a
freeway onramp is also a desirable escape factor from the
carjackers prospective.Also, a roadway intersection with a
stoplight offers a carjacker an opportunity to jump out of
another vehicle, and pull open your unlocked driver’s door.
Carjackers rely on the element of surprise. Most victims say
they never saw the carjacker until he appeared at the car
door. Whether you’re at a gas station, at a drive-up ATM, in
the parking lot at work or at the mall, or even in front of
your house, you are at risk. Here are some common sense
things you can do to significantly reduce your chances of
becoming a carjacking victim:
IN THE PARKING
LOT:
NEVER park in isolated areas or near walls or heavy
foliage
ALWAYS park in well-lighted, high activity areas,
especially if you arrive or leave after dark
ALWAYS pay attention to persons sitting in cars, as you
arrive and when you walk to your car
ALWAYS roll up the windows and lock the car, even in
front of your house … even in the church parking lot.
Use valet parking or an attended garage, if available
Ask for a security escort if you are alone at a shopping
center
Watch out for young males loitering in the area (handing
out flyers, etc)
If someone tries to approach, change direction or run to
a busy store
Follow your instincts; when you have that "gut feeling"
you need to get to a busy or safer place
As you are approaching your vehicle, look under, around,
and inside your car
Be aware of your surroundings while loading packages
into the car
If it's safe, open the door, enter quickly, and lock the
doors immediately
Don't loiter after entering your car: Get in, lock the
doors, fasten your safety belt, and leave.
WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING:
NEVER leave your car running and unattended, or with the
keys in the ignition, even at home, even "just to run back
in the house to get ..."
In the city, always drive with your car doors locked and
windows rolled up
When stopped in traffic, leave room ahead to maneuver
and escape, if necessary
If you are bumped in traffic, be suspicious of the
accident, especially if it happens in a secluded area or
near a freeway on ramp (which provides a quick escape route
for the “bumper” and his accomplice). It could be a
carjacker's attempt to get you to stop and get out of your
car to discuss the damage.
Beware of the Good Samaritan who offers to repair your
car or a flat tire, and drive to a gas station or busy place
before getting out if at all possible. If not, stay in your
car and call for roadway assistance. If you don't have a
cell phone, ask the would-be helper to make that call for
you.
IF YOU DO BECOME A VICTIM OF A CARJACKING
ATTEMPT:
NEVER agree to be kidnapped; drop the cars keys and run
and scream for help
NEVER RESIST if you are ever confronted by an armed
carjacker; ALWAYS give up your keys or money without
resistance.
The security of your home, your
family, your business, is important to you. That's why
you're a Central Security Services customer. Your security
is important to us, that's why we offer these tips to you.
And, as always, whenever you have a question about security
for your home or business, Central Security Services is here
to answer those questions.
