Collier Co. Sheriff’s Office Curbs Construction Thefts With Award-Winning Crime Prevention Program
NAPLES, Fla. - December 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
An innovative and award-winning crime prevention program is keeping construction sites safe from thieves in one of the fastest-growing areas of the country.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office Construction Site Watch Program recently was named the Outstanding Crime Prevention Program of the Year by the Florida Crime Prevention Association. Sheriff Kevin Rambosk created the program in November 2021 to allow deputies to work closely with contractors to monitor and protect at-risk equipment and materials.
"As our area continues to grow and prosper, we are committed to preventing crimes anywhere in the county - even those places that are still being built," Rambosk said. "The FCPA award recognizes the success of this program in identifying, preventing, investigating and minimizing construction site crime."
Through the Construction Site Watch Program deputies are preventing crimes with a combination of community engagement, data analysis and sophisticated tracking and monitoring technology.
Located in Southwest Florida, Collier County is seeing a surge in construction because of a high demand for housing, which also leads to more commercial building. Construction sites often are targeted by criminals because they're in remote locations, lack security and lighting, and usually have thousands of dollars of materials and equipment on hand.
The cost of materials has gone up, and supply-chain issues have created a higher demand, making construction sites even more attractive to thieves.
With the Construction Site Watch Program, the Sheriff's Office partners with contractors to protect equipment. The program is simple and effective.
Contractors alert the Sheriff's Office when they have materials being delivered, or when they are leaving equipment on-site. They can send pictures and serial numbers of specific items they would like monitored.
CCSO's Real-Time Operations Center (ROC) compiles a watchlist of vulnerable locations. That list is then sent to deputies, who closely monitor these sites by visiting the locations daily. The ROC uses geo-fencing capabilities to accurately track site checks.
If deputies discover that something is missing, they have the contact information for the supervisor at each location and can contact them immediately.
CCSO Crime Prevention deputies have been proactive about bringing awareness to this program and ensuring that construction companies take advantage of the resource. Deputies visit with contractors at offices, industry meetings and forums, and even on sites to distribute literature with program information. CCSO also educates the companies about trends and thefts in the construction industry.
Through this program, the Sheriff's Office has developed an effective, long-lasting and significant strategy to reduce construction site thefts.

StaffGarden Announces Year-Long Partnership With AdventHealth
FULLERTON, Calif. - December 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

AdventHealth has more than 50 hospitals and hundreds of care sites in almost a dozen states, with 6.8 million patient interactions annually.
The clinical ladder is a structured system, traditionally on paper, to support nurses' career advancement while remaining in their current clinical setting, providing direct patient care.
Digitizing the clinical ladder in healthcare systems to promote nurse engagement has been overlooked in the industry. Grow, from StaffGarden, has stepped in and given nurses a better way to advance their careers by providing software that organizes materials in one centralized hub while tracking engagement. StaffGarden provides innovative technology solutions to over 800 facilities nationwide and will expand further in 2023.
"AdventHealth is an excellent partner to work with," Brian Card, StaffGarden's Vice President, said. "It's truly impressive to see our product impact the healthcare industry, helping nurses progress in their careers and assisting health systems with engagement and retention at such a critical time."
AdventHealth chose the StaffGarden Grow platform in early 2022 to launch its Professional Excellence Program across the system throughout 2022 and 2023. AdventHealth began with its direct care nurses and later expanded to a second program for assistant nurse managers.
"StaffGarden's platform has been integral to the successful launch of our national Nursing Professional Excellence Program. It supports the professional development needs of our nursing workforce. The platform is intuitive and makes it easy for our nurses to input the documentation supporting their work," said Trish Celano, Chief Nurse Executive for AdventHealth. "Also, the review and approval process for our nurse leaders is efficient."

Senzo Secures Additional $1.9MM Equity Funding for Its PCR-Accurate Lateral Flow Test
PHILADELPHIA - December 12, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Senzo, a life sciences company developing high accuracy, low-cost point-of-care diagnostic technologies, today announced a $1.9 million investment led by existing investors BioAdvance and Wellness Coaches.
The funding follows recent blinded studies by UCL and LateralDx, confirming that the Senzo Amplified Lateral Flow test had 98% accuracy in comparison to PCR in correctly identifying COVID-19 virus in samples, even at very low viral loads above 30 Ct. These studies, combined with an earlier study by Sheffield University, demonstrate the high performance of the Senzo Amplified Lateral Flow (ALF) platform. ALF is the only platform that combines the speed and low cost of lateral flow tests with the accuracy of PCR tests.
The investment will be used to complete validation, execute clinical trials, secure FDA EUA authorization, and scale manufacturing for the ALF COVID-19 test, as well as to advance R&D for new Flu A/B, RSV, Tuberculosis, HIV, Hepatitis-C, and Strep tests.
"This funding further indicates the interest and excitement investors have in the ALF platform, and is another important step in bringing our technology to market. Whether for COVID-19, TB, Flu, or a range of other diseases, there are patients in desperate need of better at-home, rapid-test diagnostics, and a huge market needing our tests. This investment will help us bring this innovative technology to market even faster," said Jeremy Stackawitz, CEO of Senzo Health.
Senzo plans to complete ALF COVID-19 clinical trials and secure FDA EUA regulatory approval in 1H 2023, with tests commercially available in the 2H 2023.

Hospitals and health facilities have become easy targets for malicious actors as these have been under immense strain due to the pandemic.
Nearly 1.9 million cyberattacks against the healthcare industry in India were recorded from January to November this year, according to research led by local cybersecurity think-tank CyberPeace Foundation. More recently, The Keralty multinational healthcare organization, the leading healthcare system in Colombia, suffered a ransomware attack disrupting the websites and operations of the company and its subsidiaries.
Because of the general use of remote access to centralize medical records, booking systems and invoices, which presents security risks, most of the attacks target internet-facing systems with open RDP ports. Those where server message block and database services are enabled, and those that run old Windows server platforms. Trojan viruses and Brute force attacks are also used to gain network access and steal patient data. All of this stolen data is sold on the dark web. This month, stolen data on African, Middle East and Turkish firms were on sale for $2,100, according to a report by Kaspersky.
