Clay Community Connect is a program intended to aid in crime prevention by building a private and public community partnership.
If your business has ever been the target of crime, you know the gut-wrenching feeling that follows and how violated owners and employees feel afterward.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office is taking steps to increase community awareness by providing security advice and related services to businesses through a free Business Security Survey.
We can also increase patrol around your business when you are out of town.

Business owners can request a deputy to visit and provide security advice and related services.

- Proper lighting of your business and surrounding grounds is crucial to preventing a break-in.
- Install proper fencing to limit access to the rear of your building if necessary and repair it promptly if ever damaged.
