The Laguna Hills Police Services offers local businesses the opportunity to participate in Business Watch, a crime prevention program that fosters collaboration between law enforcement and the community to reduce commercial crime. Through this program, business owners connect with each other, creating a network of mutual support and cooperation. Citizens are also trained to recognize and report suspicious activities, contributing to overall safety in the area. Additionally, businesses are encouraged to implement various crime prevention strategies, such as improving security and participating in programs like Operation Identification.
As part of the program, commercial property owners and managers can access several valuable services, including security surveys to enhance property safety, employee safety training that covers burglary and robbery procedures, and specialized safety programs designed to protect employees and reduce risks. By participating in Business Watch, businesses can take proactive steps to secure their property and contribute to the safety of the entire community.
Why Join Business Watch?
There can't be a deputies on every corner, so community involvement is key to preventing crime. As business owners, you and your fellow merchants are the ones who truly understand what’s happening in your neighborhood. By working together, you can help fight crime before it even starts!
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) focuses on making your business safer by improving lighting, visibility, and security features to deter crime. Simple strategies, like installing better lighting and creating clear sightlines, can make a big difference. For more detailed guidance on applying CPTED principles to your business, please refer to the attached document for assistance.
