Why Business Watch?
Business Enhancement Team (BET)
Laguna Niguel Police Services has a program offered as part of their services known as Business Watch. This program is modeled after another one known as Neighborhood Watch, which takes the “neighbors looking out for neighbors” concept and applies it at the commercial level. This creates the opportunity to build a partnership between businesses and law enforcement. As part of this program, Police Services connects with business owners to get emergency contact information in case a situation should arise after hours where Deputies need to get a hold of that point of contact. Participants in this program receive a ‘Business Watch Program In Force’ decal to display in their front window. Additionally, participants will receive tips and recommendations on crime prevention, business and employee safety as well as have the opportunity to share concerns and questions with Police Services. In 2022, the Business Enhancement Team (BET) program was relaunched and is included in the Business Watch program as an extension. This piece of the equation utilizes the Police Auxiliary Citizens (PACT) team volunteers to act as a liaison representing Police Services within the business community. The city has been broken up into quadrants and our volunteers are assigned to specific areas to build a foundational relationship as well as educating our local businesses and their staff on ways to deter crime; ultimately making the businesses safer.
