Why Your Personal Safety Matters - Self Protection with Jen Bajus

PERSONAL SAFETY

Does being a Vancouverite now mean you’re always looking over your shoulders?

It’s now becoming the new norm and that’s anything but normal. Vancouver is one of the wealthiest and most beautiful cities in the world but is now a troubled city with skyrocketing crime and violent, random, unprovoked attacks. What is the root of all these problems? Is it the Opioid addiction crisis, the rise in homelessness, or mental health issues rising through the roof? It’s all of this. And until the city of Vancouver can come to grips with controlling these issues you will continue to see the random assaults (SEE LINKS BELOW of video footage of recent random acts of violence in Vancouver), robberies and crime continue to rise. This is not speculation. This is a fact!

Watch “Vancouver is Dying” by Aaron Gunn with Politics Explained. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT8OU8Yhs_s What is happening in Vancouver is not normal but until the political leaders in Vancouver help resolve this, you owe it to yourself to be responsible for your own Personal Safety. According to the Public Safety Indicators Report from the Vancouver Police Department from 2022, in Q1, 40% of all emergency calls went unanswered! That’s staggering. Don’t wait to be rescued. Learn how to protect yourself and loved ones now – and how to avoid being targeted.

Residents of the Greater Vancouver area just don’t feel safe. This is a resounding statement. The trend in assaults, random stranger attacks, violence and crime is a trend that’s accelerating. What was just in the downtown Vancouver core is now impacting residents and businesses across Greater Vancouver.

Seventy percent of people who actually come out to learn and train have already had an incident prior. Seventy percent! Don’t let yourself or that of a loved one be a stat. These numbers will only increase given the current conditions. You have a choice to take preventative measures. Make a decision now to be safer today so that you and your loved ones have another tomorrow.
