The Opelika Police Department has introduced a new initiative designed to strengthen the partnership between the department and the local business community: the SAFER Business Program.
SAFER Business is a proactive approach to crime prevention, focusing on protecting businesses through education, awareness and readily available resources. The department recognizes that businesses are the backbone of the community, and their safety and security are paramount. This program is designed to be a collaborative effort, empowering businesses to take an active role in their own protection while providing them with the support and resources they need.
The SAFER Business Program is simple and straightforward. Businesses can register online or in person by providing basic emergency contact information and answering a few brief questions about their security measures, such as whether they have a security system or surveillance cameras. This information will be kept strictly confidential and will only be used to assist the department in better serving the business community.
By registering for SAFER Business, businesses gain access to a range of resources. Officers can conduct safety checks of premises upon request, offering personalized recommendations for enhanced security. The department will also share up-to-date crime statistics for each area, keeping business owners informed and aware of any potential trends. Most importantly, the SAFER Business Program ensures that officers have the necessary contact information to reach the right people quickly in case of an emergency. This direct line of communication is crucial for a timely and effective response.
The department believes that by working together, the community can create a safer and more secure environment for businesses to thrive. The SAFER Business Program reflects a commitment to that goal. Local businesses are encouraged to register today and become part of this initiative.
