Shared Security Pilot Program

August 22, 2024 · Nick Worth

The C28 Business Alliance is excited to announce the launch of our Alliance Shared Security Pilot Program, a vital step towards enhancing safety and unity within our community along 28th Drive and Cactus Road. This initiative reflects our commitment to creating a secure environment where businesses and residents can thrive together.

Program Overview: Starting in September 1st, this 3-month pilot program will provide 10 hours of dedicated security coverage daily, 7 days a week, through the services of Omega Protective Services. This effort is managed in collaboration with the 19North Community Alliance, leveraging their experience with similar successful initiatives. Our goal is to reduce crime, improve response times, and foster a resilient commercial district that benefits everyone involved.
