PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE AND THE OB SECURITY PROGRAM Now that it is 2018, we need all the help we can get from local merchants and professionals to continue our OB Security Pro-gram. We will be contacting you this month for a number of reasons:
To have you renew your Letter of Authorization for SDPD. This form needs to be renewed each year in January.
To ask you to either continue or begin to contribute to the OB Security Program.
To let you know that the OB Security Program has been a real success for this community in trying to thwart bad behaviorists.
To let you know that we appreciate those who continue to financially support this program.
To let you know that our security patrols have document-ed and dealt with an enormous number of incidents over the last year.
To let you know that this community has been over-run with travelers from the riverbed and downtown and our security program has helped manage this crisis.
Please contact Tracy at our office for more information and assistance regarding the OB Security Program. 619-224-4906 and her email is [email protected]. We are relying on our members and property owners to help us keep this program going.
All our best, Julie Klein & Mary Orem, Co-Chairs
