The best way to keep crime out of our neighbourhoods is to keep ourselves involved in crime prevention. Get to know your business neighbours and discuss an effective crime prevention strategy for your area.
If you witness a crime, phone the police. Remain on the line until a police vehicle arrives so you can direct the officers to the exact location and individuals involved in the offence. Don't assume that someone else has called the police... three calls received are better than no calls at all.
Join a crime prevention organization such as the Alberta Community Crime Prevention Association (ACCPA), Neighbourhood Watch, Block Watch, Rural Crime Watch, Citizens on Patrol or the Heads Up Fraud Prevention Association. Contact the crime prevention coordinator in your local police service for more information on business security and crime prevention in your area.
