Southwest Business Association Shared We Need To Hear From You: Monthly Crime Data

Member news from the Southwest Business Association:

February 1, 2021

We're hearing about a number of overnight break-ins, including a couple this weekend. Suspects are gloved and covered, leaving little evidence to track them down. They seem to be going for cash drawers and a quick entry-exit. Leaving your registers visibly empty and/or a note near the door indicating that no cash is kept on-site overnight may be a good idea.

Reducing crime in the area is one of our top priorities this year, and we need your help to put pressure on the city for improvements. Please provide information about incidents that have happened to you or near you so that we have a complete picture of what is happening in the district.

Information you provide will be kept confidential, and will be used to discuss crime with Council Members, the 5th Precinct, and the Press in a multi-pronged advocacy effort to bring attention to and reduce the issues we are currently facing.
