🚨 90% Less Crime – One Agency’s Game-Changing Move 🚨
What happens when a retired police chief takes on crime with a whole new playbook? In this episode of CitySafe, Don and Jim sit down with Stephen Pales, former Chief of Police and now CEO of Wolf Creek Security Agency in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Stephen shares how his team partnered with BlueWave Technology and used SafeScope to flip the script on repeat offenders—slashing property crime by over 90% across hotels, multi-family properties, and neighborhoods once plagued by trespassers and theft.
You’ll hear:
The before picture: 33 arrests a month, endless repeat offenders, and a reactive system that wasn’t working.
How SafeScope gave Wolf Creek the speed and precision to stop crime in its tracks.
The ripple effect on residents, businesses, and local law enforcement once real-time intelligence changed the game.
Stephen’s top advice for security teams and agencies nationwide who want results that stick.
