Guidance for businesses on protecting private property

May 29, 2020

​Absent additional emergency orders, generally the City is not in the position to direct what you do with your personal private property.

We do have the following suggestions:

  • Please keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
  • Please consider taking measures to secure the property, such as removing cash drawers and boarding windows.
  • If you choose to stay at your business or property, please avoid confrontations.
  • Please plan a secondary exit in the event of a confrontation and leave the area. Do not engage with anyone breaking in or threatening you. Once in a location of safety, plan to connect with loved ones.
  • Choosing to stay and defend your business property puts yourself, those you encounter, and the general public in danger.
  • Calling 911 continues to be the best way to report unlawful activity as it connects directly with dispatchers​.
