Crime Prevention & Education for Business Personnel
The Thornton Alliance for Business Safety program (TABS) is intended to grow relationships and partnerships between the Thornton Police Department, the City of Thornton, and Thornton businesses of all sizes in order to prevent crime and promote a safe environment for employees and customers.
Goals of the TABS program:
- Actively reduce and prevent crime through cooperation and education.
- Promote communication and understanding between law enforcement and business.
- Encourage and enhance cooperation among merchants.
- Teach merchants to prevent crime on their own properties, watch over neighboring businesses, and document and report suspicious activity.
- Teach employees how to be observant and aware.
Why TABS?
- Law enforcement cannot be on every corner, so citizen involvement is essential to combat crime.
- You and your fellow merchants are the ones who really know what is going on in your community.
- Networking with each other and law enforcement, businesses can help fight crime in their commercial districts in the most cost effective way – before it begins.
- Garner publicity and community goodwill of your establishment.
