Title: Business Watch


1
Business Watch
  • Maywood Police Department
  • Chief Elvia Williams

2
Purpose
  • The purpose of the Maywood Police Department
    Business Watch is to encourage the free exchange
    of information and crime prevention techniques
    between the law enforcement community and local
    businesses.

3
Business Watch Defined
  • Business Watch is a partnership between the
    business community, local authorities and the
    police department.
  • It enables businesses to take an active part in
    preventing and reducing crime through sharing
    information, raising awareness, and improving
    communications.

4
Mission Statement
  • The mission of the Maywood Police Department
    Business Watch is to help promote a safe
    environment for people to live, work, shop and
    play.
  • This is accomplished by businesses and law
    enforcement working together to reduce crime in
    the workplace.
  • The primary objective is to educate business
    owners and their employees to recognize crime and
    risks.
  • The secondary objective is to train business
    owners and employees to take steps in reporting
    and preventing crime accurately.

5
Proposal
  • This is a new program offered by the Maywood
    Police Department to our local businesses.
  • This program is similar to the successful MAPS
    program that has been active in the community for
    years.
  • Business Watch asks everyone in business areas to
    by the eyes and ears for each other and the
    police department.

6
How does it work?
  • Business Watch is modeled after the MAPS program.
    It establishes a formal communication network
    among businesses in a specified area. Members in
    each area are alerted to potential crime and
    current trends. Members are encouraged to form a
    Community that watches out for one another.

7
How does it work?
  • Our commitment as law enforcement is to provide
    Business Watch members with information and crime
    prevention training. Members will be educated on
    how to recognize and report criminal/suspicious
    behavior.
  • Many other topics of crime prevention and safety
    issues will be addressed.

8
Current Security
  • The Business Watch Program is not meant to
    replace your current security system or plan, but
    rather to augment these and enhance the overall
    awareness and safety of the businesses, its
    employees and its customers.

    enforcement.

CALLING TREE
  • A functional calling tree is only activated by
    law enforcement and only for criminal activity
    that concerns businesses and their employees.
  • The calling tree is activated by the police
    department.
  • When your calling tree is activated your business
    will receive a fax from the police department.
  • The fax will include information regarding crimal
    activity in or around you business area.
  • You will share this information with your
    employees and other businesses.
