Crime Prevention Foremost in
Commercial Safety Training Course
The Euless Police Department recently passed a Crime Prevention Ordinance that will give convenience stores and check cashing businesses the tools they need to prevent robberies. The Police Department will teach a safety training class to employees that will provide crime prevention strategies intended to make the business less susceptible to crime. In addition, stores will be required to place height strips at all exits, maintain a clear visibility strip in all windows and doors, install a monitored panic/robbery alarm, install a drop safe, install and maintain a surveillance camera system.
From January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, Euless had a significant convenience store robbery rate. This trend is taking place throughout the region. After reviewing numerous practices of other jurisdictions, the Euless Police Department determined that convenience stores play a key role in promoting safety of their establishments.
