Crime Avoidance Programs

Designed Specifically for Organizations who Cater to Parents of Infants and Young Children

Laurie’s expertise is highlighting potential dangerous practices to an infant’s safety which could lead to an abduction, as well as offering safe alternatives to ensure new parents are not inadvertently placing their baby in harm’s way.  Ayers on the Side of Caution (ASC) offers custom-designed seminars for prenatal and infant education.

Just a few examples of Parent Education available through ASC:

• Uncovering hidden dangers from Common Practices
• Shopping / Traveling with Baby
• Establishing Routines and Patterns

Providing a safe and secure environment for a totally dependent baby or young child is every parent’s responsibility; ASC is geared to help you provide the tools necessary enhance child rearing, safety-awareness knowledge, skills and abilities.

There is strength and power in knowledge.  Knowing how to avoid and prevent infant and child abductions is vital to any baby’s safety.  If parents don’t take responsibility for it, who will? We shouldn’t live life in fear; but denial and naiveté can be cause unthinkable devastation to a family.

Designed Specifically for Schools to Offer Their Student Body

In addition to crime avoidance for parents of young children, Ayers on the Side of Caution also teams with high schools and universities across the country to offer crime avoidance programs. Today’s campuses, like any other community, are faced with the real prospect of crime; awareness prevention better equips every member of the community to protect themselves and deter these threats.

School administrators love these workshops because it allows them to take a proactive approach to teaching  students about crime avoidance and prevention which offers obvious benefits.  Additionally these informative presentations can serve to decrease liability against the school district.

Students like it … okay let’s face it, high school students may not jump for joy if they’re mandated to listen to what they perceive is some stupid people talk about avoiding crimes. However by bringing an Ayers on the Side of Caution program into your school, it does give the students an alternative voice to listen to for a brief period of time, and some have later confessed that they actually learned something and that it wasn’t as stupid as they thought it might be.

Conversely, many college students welcome the opportunity to learn all that they can about crime avoidance such as preventing attacks and abductions.

Parents appreciate these workshops as it shows that the school they are paying for (either with tax dollars or tuition) is concerned with ensuring their child is better equipped to make smart choices and avoid crimes.

Ayers on the Side of Caution offers interactive training sessions that address personal security techniques geared toward teens while on or enroute to campus as well as targeted toward young adults living away from home or while in adult social settings.
