Brink's is arguably one of most well-known names in security. They have been in business since 1859 and the name Brink's is practically synonymous with armored trucks. In 1983, they started Brink's Home Security and became a force to be reckoned with in the home security market. Between 2009 and 2010 Brinks re-branded themselves with the name Broadview Security and then joined forces with Tyco International. They were again re-branded under the ADT Security Services name.

I bet social media isn't your first thought when you think of preventing crime. Social media, however, is already utilized by authorities, concerned citizens and law breakers alike and is helping put bad guys behind bars.

We all know social media is a big part of many people's lives. Just look at the stats:

• 54% of Americans use social media.
• 22% of Americans visit social media several times a day.
• 74% of Internet users use social media.
• 90% of Internet users between 18 and 29 use social media.
• In the first half of 2012, 319 solved crimes used social media evidence in the US.

I will just add to that, my 7 year old has asked for a Facebook profile already. Social media reaches so many people, it is no wonder authorities and citizens alike are using social media as a venue to knit communities together against crime.
