DETAILS:
The Oxnard Police Department will be hosting the Crime free Business class on January 5, 2009, at the Oxnard Police Station. The class is from 7 A.M. to 9 A.M.
What is Crime Free Business?
Crime Free Business is based on research conducted by UCLA with Los Angeles City
businesses and decades of research conducted nationwide. Implementing Crime Free
Business strategies have reduced robberies by up to 45 percent and other violent crimes
like assaults and batteries to employees by nearly 30 percent.
What is the purpose of the Crime Free Business program?
Reduce robbery and other crimes in and around the business.
Provide a safe work environment for employees, customers and employers.
Increase the number of customers coming into the business.
Why is Crime Free Business important to businesses?
Homicide is a leading cause of workplace death in the United States, and workers in retail
are at the greatest risk.
Over two-thirds of workplace homicides and nearly 20 percent of nonfatal assaults occur in
the course of a robbery.
Crime Free Business gives retail and service establishments proven strategies to reduce the
likelihood of being robbed, surviving a robbery if one does occur, and reducing other
crimes like shoplifting and employee assaults.
