          • 10 reasons why burglars might choose your home
            July 28, 2017 by binwoodside from United States

            I am not one of those people who believes there is a bad guy behind every bush but Chris offers good advice that can be very useful to all of us. His tips can prevent us experiencing a home robbery due to our own carelessness. It amazes me that people use social media to advertise their absence from their homes. There are plenty of other points of carelessness Chris describes that also advertises to burglars. His voice is easy to understand and listen.

          • Educational eye-opening strategies for crime prevention
            October 22, 2015 by taylor826 from United States

            He pretty much covers the gamut of high-risk scenario from personal safety to commercial property security. He provides insights to how criminals could perceive potential victims as vulnerable. I don't own commercial property or a business, but the security best practices he outlines which mitigate potential crimes in multiple industries, also increases my awareness to avoid such businesses/locations that don't implement those policies. You don't want to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

          • Excellent content
            July 1, 2015 by Ken Burgin from Australia

            Chris has been the ‘crime doctor’ for many businesses over the years - not much he hasn’t seen and fixed! Great to have his expertise coming to us directly through his podcast interviews. Highly recommended!

          • Crime School Radio is a Winner!
            June 18, 2015 by Liquor License Advisor from United States

Chris has an uncanny knack for knowing just what the world needs. With this show, he delivers vital information on safety and security in plain language that everyone can benefit from.

          • Helpful Content for Retail and LEO
            May 21, 2015 by StandardOfTruth from United States

            Chris is an industry expert with real world experience. It is also refreshing to hear a security podcast with crystal clear audio and presented in a professional way.

          • Fantastic! Informative and relevant.
            May 13, 2015 by isntrocketscience from United States

            I have seen Chris McGoey several times as a security expert on TV so I was curious to hear his Crime School podcast. As expected the podcast provides valuable information for keeping us safe and useful ideas for everyday life. I plan to listen to every episode. Keep 'em coming Chris.

            Outstanding! Very thorough. I would like to see police departments link to this audio as part of their crime prevention education of their citizens.

          • Great show about crime and loss prevention
            May 12, 2015 by CrimeRx from United States
