What is Business
Watch?
Business Watch is a crime prevention
program that is a collaborative effort
between participating local businesses
and the Auburn Police Department. We
enlist the active participation of
merchants and businessmen to partner
with us to prevent and reduce crime in
our city. Business Watch is a voluntary
participation program and is at no cost
to businesses. We will provide training
and information to businesses so we can
band together in crime prevention.
Overview:
Business Watch is a program in which the
Auburn Police Department will provide
training, advice, and information
sharing with businesses to help deter
criminal activities. The information
sharing will take place through mass
emails on current crime trends, for
example; if we are experiencing a trend
of counterfeit money, to relay the
description of forgery suspects that
have not yet been caught, and current
money scams.
Benefits:
It is our intention that through
education and information sharing we
will reduce crime, recognize and reduce
risks, and successfully catch and
prosecute criminals. Not only will
businesses benefit but our community as
a whole will benefit because the Auburn
Police Department has more eyes and ears
in the community assisting us in letting
the criminals know they are not welcome
and will not be tolerated.
