Police have launched a business version of their Neighborhood Watch program to help local businesses prevent burglaries and other crimes.
“Like Neighborhood Watch, our goal is to become as successful getting businesses to help each other as we have our neighborhoods in Huntington Beach,” said Cheryl Lawrence, a crime prevention specialist for the city.
The program, called Business Watch, is designed to both educate merchants about anti-crime techniques and alert them to crimes in their business neighborhoods, Lawrence said.
