The Lacombe Police Service (LPS) is providing resources for local business owners during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

They say the following tips can be used to assist with security during business closures:

· Turn some lights inside the business so we can see inside the business at night while patrolling.

· Remove any items blocking views into the business such as posters or signs.

· Don’t leave cash in tills or offices.
