Businesses

Connect your business to the local safety network.

Sans Souci Community Watch is building a local business safety contact list so nearby businesses, residents, apartment communities, and JSO resources can be better connected.

Not official JSO. Emergencies and formal reports go directly to JSO.

Two connected paths

Local coordination through SSCW. Official program participation through JSO.

Official JSO program

Open Local Business Safety Contact Form
What would you like to connect about?
Use this for general, non-emergency information. Emergencies, crimes in progress, and formal reports go directly to JSO.
The form sends the structured information to SSCW. It does not replace 911, JSO non-emergency, or official JSO reporting.

How this helps

Businesses and nearby residents often see different parts of the same safety picture.

Businesses may notice daytime issues that affect nearby residential streets. Residents may notice after-hours issues when businesses are closed. A local contact network helps connect those observations responsibly.

1

Report official matters properly

Emergencies, crimes in progress, urgent issues, and formal reports go directly to JSO.

2

Share local concerns responsibly

General, non-emergency concerns can be shared with SSCW for pattern awareness.

3

Build a stronger safety network

SSCW can summarize patterns, share prevention reminders, and help connect the right people.
