Orlando Police Launch Business Watch Program for Safer City

The Orlando Police Department has launched a new voluntary program to bolster crime prevention efforts across the city. The Business Watch program will partner with local businesses to offer free crime prevention training in areas from the Mills 50 district to the corridors near the Orange County Convention Center.

The program aims to prevent and reduce criminal activity by fostering collaboration between law enforcement and the business community. This initiative seeks to create a more secure environment for commerce and residents, supporting the continued vitality of areas like historic Downtown.

Training modules will cover identifying security risks, implementing preventative measures, and reporting suspicious activities. The department encourages active engagement from business owners and employees in enhancing their safety and that of the wider community.

Further details on training schedules and enrollment will be announced by the Orlando Police Department.
