The Community Redevelopment Policing Unit is excited about our new Police and Business Information Exchange program. The concept is to bring Law Enforcement and Business owner/operators together to discuss criminal activity in the area, identify concerns and explore solutions which impact the community in a positive manner, and provide training opportunities.
Please view and join our specific "Police and Business Information Exchange" site at http://groups.google.com/group/PBIE

Lastly, we are current constructing an interactive web site which will allow information about current criminal trends in the business districts to be posted by law enforcement and the public. This interactive tool provides the necessary forum for discussing a variety of different topics. Through this open discussion we hope to bring awareness, education and solutions to criminal activity.
If you know of any criminal activity which has, or is about to occur, please report this information to MLynch@pinellas-Park.com . If this is an emergency please call 911 or our communication center at 727-541-0758.
