Geopolitical and even transnational shaping of highly mobile and violent burglary rings has prompted discussion and transactions across our business. These now include repeatable "method of operations" (MO's), but also alarming tactics per compound breaches, but also armed incursions and methods that include targeted communities and homes (largely, intelligence-based identification of targets of opportunities). This is not our parent's worry of threat to our families. Specifically,...
