Secure With The Circle Of Digital Policing Fire

Circle Of Digital Policing Fire

by Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group

There is a sickening burning smell in the air and yes, the smoke detectors are sounding.  The smell of increased crime by criminals who know they can get away with it and have no respect for society or the law.

As with forest firefighters, we utilize the art of setting fires to stop the growth of an out of control fire by starving it of fuel.  Similarly, this works with criminals and with their crimes.  

It starts with proactive awareness in both the community and police agencies.  That can only happen when Community Policing is ever present and not just a few times a year. Prominently providing current and up-to-date data/information to all, across all agencies with no borders for knowledgeable, usable facts in the palm of their hands.

Placing data in silos is an entire waste of time and when it is accessed by analysts, the resulting statistics are so far out of date, they are useless.  We know how to use it successfully NOW!

Fire and Crime Watch are a Constant!

Two-way information flow must be brought back to the forefront through developed community street programs like the Pied Piper Project which has a two-pronged purpose of awareness of what a community must be involved in and informing the hardened or ‘wannabe’ criminal what he or she will expect when caught. 

The art is prevention by instilling ‘fear’ into being caught in the first place.  Just like we must do with Islamist Terrorists, to break down their ideology and cultural aggressions.

See Something, Say Something is not just about the terror plotters, it is about communities that want Trust, Respect & Pride to resurface, maintaining and improving their societal structure once again.

CommSmart Global Group, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions Partner has decades of street smart experience with a global team that knows the crime factors, society breakdowns and importantly, the dire loss of public safety services.

The ‘Fear Factor’ answers from politicians and management, like ‘we don’t have the money or we have more important things right now’, are lame and pathetic excuses!

To ignore Progressive Proven Digital Policing, believing we will go away, fade into oblivion is senseless, we are going nowhere, whilst all forms of crime grows.  Communities have the right to be restless on the public safety services failing, due to the catastrophe of ‘Political Correctness’ and ‘out of touch’ leadership and politicians.

Reduction of services is costing billions to all. A police agency or department, who has no additional monies due to budget cuts, knows so well what it now takes to patrol the streets, answer calls, solve the crime and always be ready for the unexpected!  The public has expected you to protect and serve and that in itself is a just a glimmering light in the distance!

It used to be great to be a cop, respected by all, smiling faces as you interacted with the public, which you are one of.  Then it all changed!

It is about interaction!  There are police officers who are wondering ‘what the hell did they ever get themselves in the job in the first place for, that has done an 180-degree turn, from being a pleasant shift to an unknown factor of uncertainty.

Some may and do say that we are very direct in our communications, including social media interactions and ‘in your face’ on these failings.  We have every right and someone has to take the ‘the bull by the horns’, pulling back on the out of control reins, making others listen to the increasing crime issues and decreasing budgets, which do not correlate to successful protecting and serving!

There is a far better-proven method which is available, working in over a thousand police agencies with success.

CommSmart Global Group and our Risk Solutions Partner, LexisNexis are standalone in the Art of Data Triangulation:

Our capabilities and delivery are second to none, translation of your data is cost saving factor as we have agreements with the majority of CAD/RMS providers. 

Our analytics, especially predictive, are proven and honed with the Department of Defense in America’s global war zones with reliability.  Now all available for our streets which are progressively worsening.

We ask one simple thing that law enforcement agencies are good at, asking questions, investigating, listening and then when all said and done, an applicable decision can be determined. Until then, the policing and community problems get worse and worse and then, there will be no turning back!

To Some, Friday Cannot Come Soon Enough! British Election MisFire! Excuse Factor of the Day?

British Election MisFire! 
Excuse Factor of the Day?

.By Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group 

Why is the world full of excuse creating people?  

Do not blame the British Election, Comey on Donald Trump or a European group of numskulls who act like lemmings, looking for a cliff to throw themselves off. 

It has been a week of WTF!

The tragedies are also in our thoughts with a more serious concern and of course our prayers for those that were caught up in the Islamist Terror.

Dismay is an excellent term for those who have no business sense and run their nations to line their own pockets at your expense.

They say knowledge is power, why then, do people find lame excuses not to do something and pre-judge the requester? 

Is it ignorance or do they know not what they do?

So where am I going with this?  

Simple, in our line of business (Crime/Predictive Analytics, Community Crime Mapping, Social Media Interaction, Fraud and Community Rejuvenation), we are viewed by some, as a threat, a threat against the pure insecurity of the individual’s job.  They think we are going to take it away, in what in their mind, is rightfully theirs.

“It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.”
― George Washington

Or…

“He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.”
― Benjamin Franklin

I have heard excuses from professionals worldwide and I must admit in my early days, I might have used a few myself.  The difference is, someone showed me the errors of my ways.  We are never too old or stubborn to continue learning.

Yesterday was a prime example of a “pre-judger”, when someone starts the conversation with the word’s “I am the assistant *****, and have been told to call you, this some sort of sales call, looked at your web and we don’t have the budget, so we are not interested.”  I know that I am dealing with a person who is pre-judgmental and is totally insecure.  In fact, they may have drawn the short straw and was told to get rid of me.

Firstly, budget issues are a non-starter, to begin with!  Of course, it is not in the budget, you have not had the common sense to even listen to what it is and I can tell, that being a mind reader, is not on the resume.  Making the statement it is some sort of sales call, is used as a “put-down” in most cases, an insult if you like.  

We would have no world without salesmen and women!  It is a world of marketing from the day you are born, ‘til the day you die and someone sold your family the funeral package, including the urn, casket, headstone and the dead floral arrangements.

I feel so sorry for the pre-judgers of the world and those they represent.  In a, protect and serve situation, this is dangerous for the citizenry and the fellow workers.  To refuse to meet with someone or an entity that is a successful part of society, who is not wanting to take away the, so called power of authority, but to enhance and assist a community to be safer, is foolish and an insult to those they supposedly serve.

The CommSmart Global Group  Group of Companies is a Circle of Fire in the quiver of public safety, which includes law enforcement, EMS, Fire and all parts of government that interface with the public.  Professionals, through and through and are able to take, the so-called slighted remarks, of those that really do not understand the world of law enforcement in the year 2017 and beyond.  It is they that slapped the faces of their citizens, you missed my cheek completely.

I will tell you, our team, across the country and around the world, are passionate about what we do.  We are serious in the regard of solving the crime, understanding the now of events.  As former law enforcement, which the majority of our staff are, we have the empathy of the situation.  Our low key, listening, and understanding is like no other company in this industry of public safety, we care from the bottom our hearts, living and breathing the day to day events of professional public safety officials and their hierarchy of management.

Just because of a couple of us, I included, have strong British accents, don’t think we are trying to, tell you what to do, or just because we are from the other side of the pond, we have no idea of how it is done in this country of the USA.  This is our country, we live here and are dedicated to making the communities we live in, safer for all.

Where was I? Oh, back to the individual that started all of this yesterday. What you did is proving my point, excuses do not cut it in 2017.  I am able to face the individuals, shake their hand, sit across the table and be logical human beings, who can learn from each other and impart knowledge and understanding, that there are others that know more than us and are willing to share.

“Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not.”
― George S. Patton Jr.

So is there an assistant *****, or mayor of a city that would like to start over and support the citizens of their municipality with law enforcement tools that can make life safer, more cost effect with the resources and up to speed on the daily changes in the world?  Or do I just use my favorite four letter word?

NEXT!

Take a look at what we are about from just one of our applications:

Collecting the Chatter on the Streets, Atmospherics Is Serious Business!

CommSmart Global Group People...

We are surrounded with information to the point that most of us, including government and corporate intelligence units, are on overload and bursting at the seams with data, they know not what to do with.

Many believe you can stockpile information until it is signaled that it is required to be sifted through and analyzed.  Data silos are useless and a complete waste of money, time and effort.  Information needs to be actively analyzed in real time and that is exactly what CommSmart Global Group, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions Partner does.

The reasons we commercialized Atmospheric Noise Collection & Gathering, was with military and law enforcement requirements, in knowing all the intelligence on the streets in the early days of growing communities and of course at times of war or conflict.  

This is our Frontline capability to utilize the people in the know, within the communities, cities, and nations, who, report back their street-level findings.  Seriously vetted individuals who care and report it all, the good the bad and the downright ugly.

It is about understanding society, a government cannot govern unless they know what the people are discussing, wanting and demanding.  If you go on your merry way and ignore the facts of the streets, you end up, with the people rising against you.  The Arab Spring was more than a surprise, it was a disastrous shock, which took all unawares and looks at the results, which are continuing to reverb around the world.

Collecting the Chatter on the Streets which includes social media, like Twitter, Facebook etc., is only the second model that we install.  First, we must make sure that management understands their Leadership role and how they will Communicate this new real-time information in a feasible and productive manner to be effective.   

Now we can start to collect the information and analyze in real time.  It is not just the spoken word within conversations, it is the whole Social Media World, which is much more than Twitter, Facebook, Google + and Myspace.

The ability to use our Social Media Intelligence (SMI) solution, all compliantly scrapes and sifts through the unsocial thumbing world, which includes Social Connections, Blogs, and Personal Websites, sifting among the common themes and threads, on a local and worldwide basis is key to information gathering that will enable the correct and meaningful decisions, acceptable by all.  It is only then you can begin to understand the massive amount of information at your fingers, enabling the correct actions.

The CommSmart Global Group Analytics then kicks into gear.  The proprietary software developed over forty years of information collection, merged with law enforcement and intelligence-gathering expertise, has enabled us to design an easy and logical flow of collection, input and importantly, output.  

This includes our Next Event Predictability Solutions, enabling the use of resources in a profitable manner.  Predicting events, crime patterns and outcomes has become our norm with our gathered and analyzed information.

Too many analysts complain over report creation overload, not in our case!  The hundreds of report capabilities are at your analyst’s fingertips and can even be customized even further.  Our ability to analyze the narrative of reports enables a further level of understanding and in many cases is the decisive application tool.  This flexibility is second to none and developed from within, we listen, observe and discuss with the ever-changing street information and convert these facts into solutions.

It is our diverse team that has placed us fairly and squarely at the forefront of true real-time street information collection to actionable reporting.  We are talking about automatic reporting with report formatting that takes far less time and delivers automatically into the hands of the management decision makers, which can now act with confidence on the information in their hands.  In fact, compared with all other analytic software, we are reverse in time spent in creating and delivering reports to those wanting to be in the know. 

CommSmart Global Group Analytics only requires way under 15% of the analyst’s time for report generation or less.

Mentioning the team, it is comprised of personnel that brings decades of street-level experience and worldwide connections.  Diverse in age, nationality, gender, and experiences, which allows for our overall understanding of the world and local situations.  There is no them or us syndrome, it is an all approach that makes the difference.  We are all in, working cohesively by using all forms of communications, no matter where in the world we are located.  It is our 24/7/365 coverage that is our key to your success.

The training of street-level associates has been perfected and we pride that selection and vetting abilities has become an art form and a science.  We even market our leadership, communications and recruitment processes.

We are very private in our work ethic and can be described as an evolution in information gathering, analyzing and dissemination.  So, for public safety crime statistics, social chatter, public opinions, and views, especially for election manifest creation and really knowing the pulse of the people, we have the key.

No government agency has our capabilities in seeking the facts in real time.  It is our down to earth approach with our listening ears, which is attached to today’s ever-changing technology with visionary intellect.

Simply, WE are in the NOW and KEEP YOU; IN the KNOW…

No matter where you are in the world, we have the reach and abilities to assist you.

See Something, Say Something - Peel Is More Than Pissed!

See Something, Say Something

Peel Is More Than Pissed!

by Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group

The formation of the police force by Sir Robert Peel in 1829  was for the protection of all and was afforded rules, regulations, and monies to attain the protection level of the day.

What has gone wrong?

Cuts, cuts and more cuts whilst the population grows by leaps and bounds through nomadic refugees crossing non-existent borders.  

Bringing their ideology and culture, inflicting their opposite religious beliefs by violent means on those born in their own land.

The government sits on their thumbs and reduces over and over again the ability of national police forces to complete the job at hand.

Islamist Terrorism is alive and well on the shores of the United Kingdom and the public knows it and they too say nothing!

People talk while they plan their deadly deeds and always someone knows something, but keep their mouth shut!

Just review the stabbing deaths that are mounting, 20% cut in funds and staffing of the police and knife crimes up some 46%!

Does not make sense!

Then what do we know?  A lot more logical answers than the seats of government insanity!

Protection of citizens is the priority with the other side of the depleted coin being the public which must do their part too!

SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING, is not just some catchy phrase, it has solid meaning when your life is at risk.

Snitching to save lives is not tittle-tattling, it is being positive in protecting your fellow man women and child.  

Start Doing It, Our Lives Depend On It!!

Your Bum is more important than the Carbon Effect of Air Force One or the crime in your neighborhood.

You Think More Of Your Tender Ass,

Then The Effects Of The Paris DisCord!

by Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO. CommSmart Global Group

Your Bum is more important than the Carbon Effect of Air Force One or the crime in your neighborhood.

The softness of toilet paper for 2.765 seconds of contact for cleanliness is top or bottom of your mind and more important than the effects of so-called global warming.

"The ecological consequences of manufacturing it from trees are enormous," said Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defence Council.

"Future generations are going to look at the way we make toilet paper as one of the greatest excesses of our age. Making toilet paper from virgin forests is a lot worse than driving the old Hummers in terms of global warming pollution." 

Making toilet paper has a significant impact because of chemicals used in pulp manufacture and cutting down forests.

More than 98% of the toilet roll sold in America comes from virgin wood, said, Hershkowitz. In Europe and Latin America, up to 40% of toilet paper comes from recycled products.

"We have this myth in the US that recycled is just so low quality, it's like cardboard and is impossible to use," said Lindsey Allen, the forestry campaigner of Greenpeace.

What happened to the days of the Radio Times, neatly ripped into strips and hanging in the Outhouse?  Or Jeyes toilet paper?  

Times have changed we must now have 'fluffy' toilet paper for our arses that have been kicked and battered by more 'fake news journalists' than ever before.

The Paris Accord is nothing more than a financial extraction tax for the sake of power.

Donald, do what you feel is the right move for the United States and for those that have more concern of their own arses!

Analytically, do not let the fluffy stuff slip, then you really are in the mire, so to speak!

Zip the Crime, Or Do The Time... The Pied Piper Project

ZIP THE CRIME OR DO THE TIME…

By Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO CommSmart Global Group 

We must not ignore what is happening on the streets of "Any City USA" or any major city globally!  So you had another shooting last night!  

101 shot over July 4th weekend in Chicago!

Even Des Moines, Iowa is suffering murders, one every ten days is occurring right on your doorstep so far this year!

Crime is increasing and society wants to do something, but does nothing!  

That is all about to change!

• Ignorance is bliss 
• None of My Business 
• I’m Sorry, But What they Do Does Not Affect Me 
• I Don’t Live There 
• NIMBY (Not In MY Backyard) 
• Why Should I Care?

We have heard every excuse under the sun for problems that surround businesses, socially and commercially and are they all lame!  States, Cities, Neighborhoods and Communities are rife with crime, intimidation, social and economic destruction. Do not tell me about the deforestation of the Amazon Forest, although terrible, look at the decline of a civilization of your own surroundings!

For instance in Indianapolis, the local WTHR television station reported, “While crime data from IMPD shows that 48% of all homicides between 2007 and 2012 occurred within five zip codes (46218, 46201, 46208, 46205, 46222), Pastor Harrison notes that teen crime is spreading to downtown and beyond.”

Have you been turning a blind eye, hoping it was not really happening?  Sticking cotton wool in your ears to block out the screams of the streets. 

The streets are being cleaned of crime, vermin, unscrupulous businesses and those that will not comply and sing the tune of honesty.

The Pied Piper Project is ready to visit the Zip Codes of Shame.

Is Your City/Community Among Those That Can & Will Be Changed?

Importantly are you going to get involved?

Objective:

• Bring back stability to the streets
• Teaching the criminal his or her time is done
• Those that do not comply, continuing the crime and intimidation, jail…
• using the laws on the books to cleanse the problem
• Allow neighbors to be neighbors
• Replenishing the ability for commerce to open their doors for profit
• Employment on a local basis, producing MADE IN THE USA local products
• Bringing people back to the front porch
• Trust, respect, and pride once at the forefront

I was asked the other day, “Why so quickly do we have to act?” Simple, procrastination for the last decades has got us into the problem and no one is acting responsibly. From the President down, it is being ignored and accepted as part of the day to day activities of America.  It is the largest killer of people, neighborhoods, local commerce and life.

The perpetual beta phenomenon is a natural effect of a lack of purposeful execution.

The frustration is simple and understandable, the local officials are so close to the problem, it blinds them and becomes so personal, and it escapes the solutions being discussed.  Fresh eyes are required with a full team spirit.

Blood is on our hands are we have to stop washing the problem down the drain with lives that are being wasted in more ways than one.

Can you honestly stand there and ignore anymore?  Are your ready to be part of the difference that will be our legacy and a chance for the youth of this nation to move forward with the smell of success, instead of death?

Stand up, reach out and do what you know is right!

WE ARE!

If You Tell Me It Can't Be Done, You Are Right, Because You Can't Do It!

If You Tell Me It Can't Be Done, 

You Are Right Because You Can't Do It!

by Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group

There are too many excuses, pathetic reasons not to complete a task and a total lack of responsibility buzzing around the world for far too long!

To make a change and complete tasks today, we must have the right information at our fingertips.  If you never read the instruction book or study for an exam, the chance of success is slim to none.

There always those that want to see you fail and will go out of their way to ensure you do so. They, the detractors want a platform from anyone to listen.

Hate is surrounding us, criticism is not enough, they have to lie, cheat and steal to attempt to bring you down.  

I know the feeling all too well!

Since 2004 I have had a disruptor/stalker who did not get what he wanted when he attempted to extort from me and our company.  

We have ignored his inflammatory words and actions, as by responding would only show that we have a concern and would recognize him and his pathetic actions. His words posted have been read by some who know me not, believe this individuals words are true.  

They know him not either!

Sadly, anything that is posted on the Internet is there forever. 

He even attempted to dupe Stan Lee and his Marvel Comics by removing Lee from the company illegally.  In fact many have suffered by this excuse for a manipulator of facts and mingles his fiction with fact.

Under the American Constitution, there is Freedom of Speech, whether it is true and believable or not.

It is farcical and pathetic that someone with intelligence would believe his claims.  Sadly, those that do, only perpetuate the problem of the downright lies. 

There are now seven times that I have been confronted by individuals regarding this, but never directly.  Go to source, don't judge information from a stranger just because it posted on the Internet Sewer!

How do you open a conversation that is negative when you are promoting your company and services?  You don't!

We are an information, data, software and solutions group and am taking this short side step to address this issue, moving on with continued professionalism.  

Why?  Because that is what we do, we are a total change agency who lead our clients through adversity and times of change.

We do not take it personally, we look objectively and logically.  It is silly to attack the messenger, it is the message that is the focus.

Our strength is our ability to bring you the right information with analytic overtones in our crime and social analytics capabilities.  Law enforcement and communities must have the facts to enable successful protection for all.

For our society to move forward with a cohesive temperament, we must head-on address the diversity of today's world.

Social or unsocial media has propelled us into a critical path of hatred, anxiety and violent disarray.  

Racism, religion, sexual orientation and total dislike of those that are charged with upholding the law have gone way beyond what the forefathers of the United States ever imagined.

It is not too late to resolve and save society.  It cannot be a one-sided affair, it must be a cohesive understanding of the current issues and the solutions that are at hand.

It is all about the facts!  The mixture of social media interaction, public data and law enforcement's CAD & RMS data, when we combine and analyzed in near real time, shows us the bigger picture and it is from that canvass we can redraw the landscape of society.

It is exactly the same for Social media Interaction Marketing.  No matter what size your comapny is, 'the art of the possible' is at your doorstep and fingertips.

We say 'Social Is Local', it how and where we glean our information, social media is the search engine for all things social, vacations, good food, hotels and local shopping.  You will compete with 'online shopping giants', to to toe when you approach from our global expertise in communications.

That is why all that CommSmart Global Group, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions Partner achieves the goals which are tied to solid information, which in turn is actionable with resolvement. 

It really is not a 'them and us' situation, it is how both sides of the issues believe they are right, but only one side has the 'real facts'.

It is about community awareness and communications, which go hand in hand.
