When surveillance may be necessary

It looks like someone, or someones, may have a problem with the Jewish congregation of Chabad Lubavitch. First vandalism and then a little arson – I’d say they have a problem.

Preventing these attacks may be difficult at best since the miscreant is willing to target materials outside the facility and to increase the destructiveness of the effort. You just can’t protect everything. No doubt the doors are now locked, being the access point for the first attack, but how can you protect vehicles and other items on the outside?

Regular patrols (police, contact security, or congregation members) through the property can be both a deterrent and a method of detection. It may also be worthwhile to get in tough with a local investigator with strong surveillance capabilities to arrange surveillance of the property. It won’t be cheap but if someone does come back, and how can you expect this person to stay away, there should be video. Not just video but video that can be used to ensure a conviction.

Just a thought…..
