Ep. 33 - Beyond CCTV: Hotels Get Smart (Part 2)
Our last conversation about hotel safety struck a chord — so much so that we had to come back for a Part Two. In this episode, Don and Jim dig deeper into how SafeScope is transforming security at hotels and motels across the country.
From the guest experience to staff protection to the business bottom line, we explore why safety isn’t just a side feature — it’s the most important amenity a property can offer.
We’ll talk about:
- Why outdated CCTV just isn’t enough anymore
- How SafeScope makes safety seamless (and why guests will feel the difference)
- The ripple effect: Protecting people and property leading to staff morale, online reviews, and reputation
- The business case — how safer properties save money and avoid lawsuits
- What’s next: SafeScope beyond hotels, and how it could become the new industry standard
Whether you’re in hospitality or just someone who wants peace of mind when traveling, this episode is packed with insights on how smarter security is changing the way we stay safe.
The CitySafe Podcast — where safety isn’t just talked about, it’s reimagined.
