Enhance Your Business’s Security and Success
Rio Linda business owners and managers are invited to an important Business Watch meeting on Tuesday, April 8th, at 10:00 AM at Rio Java. This is a crucial opportunity to learn how to protect your business, connect with other local businesses, and partner with law enforcement and county agencies.
What is Business Watch?
Business Watch is a Sacramento County District Attorney and Sacramento County Sheriff crime prevention program hosted by the Rio Linda Elverta Chamber of Commerce that encourages businesses to actively participate in reducing crime. By sharing information, increasing awareness, and training employees to recognize criminal activity, businesses can play a key role in making Rio Linda safer.
Benefits for Rio Linda Business Owners:
- Crime Prevention Strategies: Learn practical tips to deter crime, such as keeping cash registers in plain view, securing entry points, and implementing Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. CPTED strategies include improving surveillance, securing the premises, and using lighting effectively.
- Stronger Community Connections: Share contact information with other businesses, attend regular meetings with county agencies and law enforcement, and participate in community cleanups and business promotions.
- Direct Partnership with Law Enforcement: Become the eyes and ears of law enforcement, report criminal activity, and learn how law enforcement can assist you in preventing crime. Law enforcement can teach businesses how not to be a target of crime, help implement CPTED, and provide information on crime trends.
- Addressing Nuisance Activity: Partner with county agencies to strategize and reduce nuisance activity in the area.
- Access to Resources: Learn about important contacts and how to report issues like code violations, illegal dumping, and other concerns by calling 311 or using the 311 app.
