Detective Richard Lee spoke to Chamber Members at this morning's breakfast at Mike & Anne's. The South Pasadena Police have a great response time, and he detailed several recent crimes and discussed best practices for business owners/managers. One new bit of news - it's now quicker to call 9-1-1 from your cell phone in an emergency than to call the dispatcher direct. The system now goes directly from the callers cell phone to the local dispatcher, as technology has improved. (It does not give the dispatcher an exact location, like land-lines do. But it'll get you the local police when you need them quick.)
Another reminder - by filling out the Business Information Form, including emergency contact info and key person identities, you can greatly expedite Police effectiveness if they ever have to respond to your emergency. Just go to the Police Station at 1414 Mission Street and ask for the form.
