Public
Safety Initiative Progresses:
Business Watch Team Now Forming
As
part of the broader Eastport public safety campaign, EBA —
with the assistance of the Annapolis Police Department —
is starting up our own Business Watch program to complement
Neighborhood Watch.
This concerns all of us, since crime in our area hits businesses especially hard. There are some things you can do to protect your property, your employees, and your customers, and that’s what we’ll be focusing on. Think about ...
- How secure is your business?
- What steps can businesses take to reduce criminal opportunity?
- How can businesses work together to initiate crime prevention initiatives?
If you want to join the EBA Business Watch Team, contact EBA at info@eastportbusiness.org.
Did you know?
That
the Annapolis
Police Department will conduct a free security survey
of your business to let you know if your windows and doors
are vulnerable? Call crime prevetion specialist Norm Crews
at 410-268-9000.
That the Annapolis Police Department urges you to report all suspicious activity or persons to them? The number to call is 410 268-4141. That's the APD's non-emergency number and it goes right to our local dispatcher. Dialing 911 gets you to an Anne Arundel County dispatcher and precious moments could be lost while they make the transfer to APD.
Have you ever been issued a bad check? Did you know that you have to file a claim with the State's Attorney's Office? Here's where you start, by filing out this form.
