At least one downtown establishment is planning to expand. Read more to learn about some of the newer venues you can visit……”

Meet the Business Law Enforcement Liaison

Meet the Business Law Enforcement Liaison

By Brittney Sherman

We understand that as a business owner, your main priorities are keeping your business secure and your employees safe. To that effect, we would like to introduce you to Business Law Enforcement Liaison Corporal Mindy Zen, and share some of her safety and security best practices.

#1 USE CITY RESOURCES: Call MHPD Non-Emergency @ 408-779-2101 to report non-emergency crime, nuisance, or blight issues. Contact the Morgan Hill Police Department Business Law Enforcement Liaison @ 669-253-4917 for concerns affecting your business operations.

#2 INSTALL SECURITY CAMERAS: Security cameras deter crime, vandalism, and provide safety for your employees and patrons. Keep all areas visible to cameras and please share your footage with the Morgan Hill Police Department.

#3 KEEP THE LIGHTS ON: Lighting creates a sense of liveliness and an illusion that people are around. Leave the lights on or install motion-activated lighting after hours.

#4 MAINTAIN AND CHECK ON YOUR PROPERTY: Perform regular visits and keep your property free of trash, litter, and junk. Trim or remove tall bushes, trees, and shrubbery. The City of Morgan Hill has a high standard of cleanliness, and we expect business owners to do the same.

#5 PRIVATE PROPERTY SIGNAGE AND AUTHORIZATION: Private property owners may authorize local law enforcement to arrest trespassers under certain provisions. Post "No Trespassing/Private Property" signs on your property and complete MHPD's "Arrest Authorization Form."

#6 USE ONLINE FORMS TO REPORT A CONCERN: If you have a concern about graffiti, illegal dumping, abandoned vehicles, etc., please use our online tool HERE to report it.
