RCMP Supt. Foster tells business owners “get to know your neighbour”
Red Deer’s top cop presented to local business owners at Wednesday’s Red Deer and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Supt. Ken Foster told those in attendance that one of the most important things for businesses to do is treat the neighbourhood like you would where you live.
“Get to know who your business neighbours and partners are, understand what their business is, and look out for one another for sure. I know when we go around or I drive around the city, I see lots of places that if we followed some crime prevention though environmental design aspects, it would certainly deter [more] crime,” he says.
“For example, I was at a business not long ago and I saw a number of pallets stacked up outside the fence, which looked like a perfect step right over top the fence.”
