The South Granville Business Improvement Association
is pleased to announce that the Downtown Ambassadors will be our new Security provider
for our South Granville merchant community effective May 7th, 2007.
The Downtown Ambassadors® are trained to provide hospitality assistance and
crime prevention services to the SGBIA area. The Ambassadors will patrol our community on foot,
7 days a week from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm.
The goal of the program is to address "quality of life" issues such as
panhandling, litter, illegal vending, graffiti etc. with the understanding that these
issues not only affect the general quality of life in South Granville but also the overall crime rates.
The primary roles of the Ambassadors are to:
- assist the public with directions and inquiries about the district, its businesses and its services.
- respond to calls concerning specific incidents (suspicious persons, tourists with special needs, first aid situations and similar events).
- provide an effective street presence, monitoring and deterring criminal activities in parking facilities and other areas accessible to the public.
- report crime and "quality of life" concerns to appropriate agencies and assist in mitigating these from taking root.
- complete accurate and concise daily incident reports on issues attended to and follow-up with other agencies to effect resolution of problems.
- a walking service (safewalk) to escort employees and visitors to their vehicles, where safety might be a concern, and where feasible.
