To reduce the likelihood of criminal activity to non-essential businesses ordered to close by the Santa Cruz County Health Officer’s March 16 “shelter in place” order, the Sheriff’s Office has increased patrols and security checks around vacant businesses.
At the end of each inspection of a vacant business, a customized checklist with considerations for safety precautions will be given to the owner.
Any business owners interested in signing up for a business security inspection or looking for information can call 831-454-7689.
