Business Security Check Program

The Business Security Check Program is a proactive crime prevention program used by the Kodiak Police Department to minimize the number of vandalisms, thefts and burglaries of commercial establishments located within the City of Kodiak.

Kodiak Police Officers routinely check businesses located throughout the City on a random basis.  Officers check to see that all doors and windows have been closed, and locks engaged.  Officers also make informal observations about the condition of interior and exterior lighting, window and door locks,  and about merchandise and displays which may be obscuring the view into the business.

Once a business has been inspected the officer leaves behind a card in a conspicuous location which informs the employees and business owner that the business was checked. 

This crime prevention program works best if the business owner has on file with the Police Department a responsible party calling list.  This list contains the name, and contact telephone number for anyone who has been designated by the business as someone to contact in case of trouble. Typically, the responsible party is contacted only when a door or window to a business has been found open.

All businesses are encouraged to have a responsible party calling list on file with the Police Department.  Once it is on file, keep it current.

Contact the Police Department at (907 486-8000) if you have any questions about this program.
