"My facility, _______has been affected by this new sensation [Pokemon Go]. The grounds of the institution has been marked as the site for two of the meeting points. The University _________, near us has been targeted as well. I write to you as we are fearing that numbers of trespassers will be coming to do their thing. The problem rests on the fact that the two sites ended up being in restricted areas. One is on a fragile Native American mound. The other is in a secluded area in which we don’t want to encourage traffic. We cannot monitor these areas and worry about robberies, burglaries and other crime that has been associated with early reports of Pokemon Go. Do you have any ideas on how to deal with this issue? We would even welcome appropriately located sites. We are a mental hospital and must restrict traffic because of past issues of vandalism, drug use, car break-ins and other crime. Do you know if there is a way to contact the programmer or to delete target sites? Please and thank you."
To the developers of the game, I'm wondering how they designated the places to play the game? I'm thinking they were looking for "public areas" but that can be problematic when you are doing this for an entire globe. I can see other "secure areas" now attracting gamers and causing all sorts of issues for security and public safety professionals.
I guess you could call Pokemon Go a Black Swan event! We did not see it coming.
