Grand Rapids Students found bringing guns into the school.
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Several incidents at a Grand Rapids School report students bringing guns into the building. The School is considering how to mitigate the threat to the students while at the safe time protecting individuals privacy.
Safety has to be the primary consideration, protocol and policies need to be impactful and reflective of what the school’s community wants.

Private Security Guards Have Become a Last Resort for Public Safety
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
The rampant and uncontrolled criminal activity throughout New York State. It’s unacceptable. Robberies are happening in broad daylight, smash-and-grabs, flash mobs, and criminals filling garbage bags with stolen goods are now common.
Eventually, businesses will be forced to shut down because they won’t be able to ensure the safety of their employees or customers.
Despite the weak on crime policies it’s our priority at NEXGEN Protection to do our part to ensure the safety of employees and the public when on the job.
