The e-mail crime alert system facilitates better prevention and security practices among residents, business owners and workers in the downtown district.
The CCP/SAFE unit has been providing crime prevention tools to residents, businesses and property owners for years but the previous methods of sending out flyers or faxes or meeting personally with business owners or residents was slow and often hit or miss. Also, there is nothing lost "in translation" with photos transmitted electronically compared to those being faxed or reproduced for flyers.
