 Hello 2026!

As we welcome 2026, we would like to emphasize that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is committed to improving public safety and reducing both fear and crime. However, there are numerous actions that each community member can take to lower the risk of becoming a victim. Here are some crime prevention tips for businesses. We encourage you to review the information in this section and incorporate crime prevention measures during your daily business hours.

Business Security:

  • Have at least two employees open and close the business. Businesses are vulnerable during opening and closing because fewer employees and customers are around, and cash is often handled at these times.
  • Maintain as little cash as possible and make frequent and varied bank deposits. Post signs stating there is limited cash on the property.
  • Leave cash registers empty and open after hours.
  • Place a surveillance camera behind the cash register facing the front counter.
  • Arrange advertisements, flyers, displays, signs, posters, or other displays so that they do not obstruct the view of the register from inside or outside your business. The police patrolling your store need to see in.
  • Stay alert! Be aware of who is in your business and where they are. Watch for people who loiter without buying anything. Also, be mindful of suspicious activity outside your place of business. Write down the license plate numbers of suspicious vehicles.
  • Greet customers as they enter your business. Look them in the eye and ask them if they need help. Your attention will deter a robber, as they don't like being noticed or having personal interactions.
  • Adequately light the interior and all exterior sides of your business.
  • Cooperate with the robber for your safety and the safety of others. Comply with a robber's demands while remaining calm and thinking clearly. Make mental notes of the robber's physical description and other observations important to law enforcement officers.
