Mission Viejo Business Watch
The Orange County Sheriff's Department, in conjunction with the City of Mission Viejo, is interested in developing a partnership with the business community. We have established a new Business Watch Program to provide businesses with crime prevention information specific to your business. This program is available to all businesses in the city free of charge. We appreciate this opportunity to introduce to you the many benefits of the Business Watch Program.
| Prompt information for emergencies occurring after normal business hours |
The program is based upon a confidential listing, maintained by the Orange County Sheriff's Department, of emergency numbers and contact persons for local businesses. Each business will have an individually assigned sticker with a business watch number for placement on the front window or door. If the Sheriff's Department encounters an emergency situation at the location, the contact person will be notified immediately. This would be in addition to any private security the business may employ. |
| Notifications of recent crime trends in the business community |
An updated list of participating community businesses will allow for quick distribution of a "Business Crime Alert Watch" bulletin. The bulletins will describe recent crimes of interest to the business community. These warnings can be made by phone, e-mail, fax, or flyer and will include descriptions of persons and crimes such as theft, fraud, and counterfeiting. |
| Business Watch Meetings, crime prevention seminars and training bulletins |
These are tailored to your community and business needs and are offered throughout the year. |
| A Crime Prevention Newsletter |
It will provide additional crime trend details, available Sheriff services and Business Community programs. |
| Register your business |
