Leaving your office closed for a long holiday? Leaving town for a business trip? Whatever the reason is, being away from your place of business for any length of time can lead to anxiety if you have security concerns.

The Clay County Sheriff's Office Business Watch program is designed to provide you with peace of mind by placing your address on a stepped-up patrol list. Deputies in your area will be instructed to keep a close eye on your property and to conduct area checks more regularly while you are away.

To take advantage of this program, simply call the CCSO main number, (904) 264-6512, and ask to have your building placed on the Business Watch list.

For additional information on how to better protect your office from thieves and vandals, we encourage you to contact the CCSO Community Relations Unit at 213-6114.
