In the last several years, we’ve been hearing from members that public safety is an issue that is on the rise. There have been increased incidents of vandalism, workplace violence and vagrancy.
Public safety has become such a growing concern that during the 2023 Legislative session, our Government Affairs Committee asked our Government Affairs team to actively lobby the state for public safety reforms to make communities safer.
But this isn’t a natural issue for our members to be concerned about. We are used to welcoming our guests and communities into our business in the spirit of hospitality, not suspicion. So, we must learn how to keep our employees, ourselves and our businesses safe.
Feel free to explore these resources to help you feel a little more comfortable in your place of business.
You can combat crime in your business by preparing your team and opening lines of communication with law enforcement.
