Online security resource launched to help consumers prepare for the holiday season


ASIAL is encouraging homeowners and businesses to review their security arrangements in the lead up to the Christmas holiday period.
ASIAL has put together an easy to use online resource which includes helpful security tips, information on who needs to be licensed to perform security work, fact sheets, links to security providers by local area and a range of other useful security information.
The launch of the online resource coincides with a national awareness program conducted by the Association to make consumers aware of the need to always use an appropriately licensed security professional.

The holiday season is a busy time of year for most people – including criminals. A large portion of crime is opportunistic, and can be avoided with a simple security plan.
