Business Watch


I. What Business Watch can do for you

  1. Promote communication and understanding between law enforcement and the business community.
  2. Encourage cooperation between neighboring merchants.
  3. Teach merchants to crime proof their business.


II. Protective Measures

  1. Secure all obvious, and not so obvious points of entry.
  2. Avoid placing valuable goods in store front windows.
  3. Brightly illuminate all entrances with vandal-proof fixtures.
  4. Keep all shrubbery and debris away from windows and doors. Don’t provide concealment or climbing platforms for the burglar.
  5. Teach employees to be aware of persons who are loitering or behaving in a suspicious manner.
  6. Advertise a policy of prosecuting all shoplifters, and stick to it!
  7. Don’t work alone. If you must do so, leave a radio or television playing to suggest someone else is present.
