FREE Holiday Security Available for Our Merchants

The Florin Road Partnership Property and Business Improvement District is committed to safety and security on the Florin Road Business Corridor. We have retained Paladin Private Security to provide an armed security response to merchants and property owners in our business district through December 31, 2013.

There is NO charge to you to use Paladin’s service during this time period if you are a merchant or property owner in our business district.

The primary focus of the Paladin security team will be addressing anti-social behavior on the corridor which detracts from commercial activity. This includes loitering, panhandling, illegal camping and public intoxication. In order for Paladin to remove trespassers from your property, they must have a completed Notice of Agency (NOA) form from your business. The form is shown below. Please print and complete it, then fax it to Paladin at 916-331-4329.

Paladin’s dispatch center may be contacted directly by telephone at 916-331-3175. For emergencies and crimes in progress, call 911.

For more information about our security program, please contact the Partnership at 916-424-4230.
