Did you ever have a stranger drive into your yard and ask for directions? Keep on reading...

There's been a lot of attention about farmers, protection and guns in the media recently. At Reed Security we've seen an increase of 25% about farm security, cabin security and acreage security over the past two years.

So, what are people concerned about? We interviewed Dave and Vicki Dutton from Dutton Farms in Paynton, SK about their concerns and here's what we found:  

WHAT ARE FARMERS CONCERNED ABOUT?

"Theft is our biggest concern. We can't always be at the farm to keep an eye on things". Here were their concerns:

• home break-in
• shop break-in
• vehicle theft
• fuel theft 
• theft of keys
• theft of wallets, cash, credit cards, ID
• theft of guns
• theft of tools
• theft of chemicals
• confrontation 

DIRECTIONS PLEASE

"We live on a busy highway and a number of people come into our yard. When a lost stranger drives into your yard and asks for directions - are they really lost? Or could it be that they're scoping your place out?"  

Just about everybody has maps on their smartphones. You should pay particular attention to the make and model of the vehicle and even the license plate if you can. Also make notes about the person's description and age. The Police will need this information in the event of a reported theft.

5 SOLUTIONS TO INCREASE FARM PROTECTION NOW

Better security is a better solution.  Reed Security recommends installing several layers of security instead of relying on only one.

Project: Prairie Centre Credit Union

Prairie Centre Credit Union recently partnered with Reed Security to install Hi-Def Cameras at several branches in Saskatchewan.

Prairie Centre Credit Union offers Banking, Borrowing, Investing and Insurance products and services. With branches in Beechy, Dinsmore, Eatonia, Elbow, Elrose, Eston, Harris, Herbert, Kyle, Loreburn, Morse, Outlook, and Rosetown - they can look after your Personal, Business and Agriculture needs.  

Before the project we met with Norris Rusling, Manager Corporate Technology, and provided a FREE Security Evaluation. After the installation we again connected with Norris and these were his comments: 

1. We chose to go with Reed Security because of the great reviews from their other customers and their responses to our questions. They didn't try and sell us something that we didn't need, they listened to us and created a solution that worked for us.

2. We like the solution we got, because it does what we need it to do. The equipment is from a reputable Canadian company and we know that we will always have Reed Security there to help us get through any issue that may come up. 

3. We would definitely refer Reed Security to others. Their installations have been done quickly, accurately and are well planned. Their equipment is good quality and works like expected.
