FACT: Businesses small and large continue to suffer economic and personal loss from the criminal segment of today’s society.
FACT: Increasingly, the private sector is incurring significant costs in an effort to provide their own protection of property.
SOLUTION: If you are a Martin City business, you can join the MC-CID Security Program!
The Martin City Community Improvement District offers all Martin City businesses the opportunity to join the MC-CID Security Program. The MC-CID Security Program is a partnership between the Martin City CID, the Martin City businesses and Orion Security Inc. We offer ONE level of participation to all businesses electing to enroll in the program.
The MC-CID Security Program provides services 365 days between the hours of midnight and 6:00 a.m. The officer on duty makes 6-7 district circulations per evening and will shine a light on all participating business properties to detect suspicious activities. Should suspicious activities be detected, the officer will call the property owner and Kansas City Police Department, if warranted. The MC-CID Security Program coordinates all security monitoring with alarm companies installed by the business. MC-CID keeps a log of each incident per night. All incidents are posted monthly at the Board of Directors meeting and shared with the Kansas City Police Department.
“Since the CID contracted with Orion to handle security in Martin City, we have seen our number of incidents drop dramatically,” says Curtis Stroud, owner of Rosehill Gardens in Martin City. “We recently had a break-in that Orion noticed and stopped before the perpetrator was able to steal a significant amount, or do major damage as is usually the case. The security people that I have come in contact with in Martin City have always been very alert, helpful, and professional. I have confidence that Orion is patrolling the area as they should be and performing their job in a diligent and professional manner. The money paid for security for Rosehill is of significant value to my company and definitely an advantage to being located in Martin City.”
The continued success of Martin City is dependent on the perception that Martin City is a safe place to work, own a business, and to shop and dine. So far, Curtis says Orion and the Martin City security program have done exactly that.
The annual cost to a Martin City business is $500 per Martin City property, or $1.36 per day, which is less than a small cup of coffee at Starbucks! In addition to your annual payment, the MC-CID also pays an annual fee to offset the direct cost to the business.
