Commercial Crime Prevention

The Police Department finds that people frequently witness crimes without realizing it and often don’t know how to react when they do realize it.

We hope to provide you and your employees with the tools needed to recognize suspicious activity and when to report it to the police. Often people acting suspiciously have been involved in other criminal activity and are known to the police. With your help we can identify these individuals and intervene to prevent additional criminal activity.

• Crime Prevention Workshops
• Golden Valley Crime Prevention Fund

The Police Department works in cooperation with the business community on identifying crimes and other activity that are of concern to businesses. The Police Department takes every opportunity to inform local businesses about crime trends in Golden Valley and encourages communication to communicate your concerns to the Police Department so we may serve you better.

Our goal is to make you aware of the many resources we have in Golden Valley and to assist in making your business run smoothly. A second goal is to set about a plan to open communication between you—the businesses—and the Police Department.
