MVPD is pleased to sponsor Business Watch, a cooperative crime prevention program for local businesses and police. The primary goal of Business Watch is to reduce crime that affects Mountain View's businesses.
The department offers crime-prevention training to Business Watch members, but that's just the beginning. Business Watch builds relationships with the police department and among the business community. Like Neighborhood Watch, these relationships:- Lead to a cooperative effort to prevent crime.
- Provide timely security information to the police (and other businesses).
- Catch criminals in the act.
- Support the safety and security of Mountain View businesses.
In addition, you can help educate patrol officers on the specific issues and concerns of your business, so we're better able to work proactively and keep watch over problem areas.
Past Meeting Topics- Anti-terrorism
- High-tech crimes
- Shoplifting prevention
- City crime trends
- Employee & customer safety
- Crime prevention through environmental design
- How to survive an armed robbery

 Retail Security Tips
1. Staff Awareness
Be aware of people in the store. Acknowledge that they've been seen. "Hi, can I help you?"
2. Do not keep money in store after hours.
3. Conduct strict inventories, using more than one person.
4. Do not leave store unattended or go to back room, if no other employees on duty.
5. Place small, easy-to-steal items in highly visible places away from entries/exits.
