Poorly managed venues place you and your entire community at risk. Poorly managed nightclubs and other entertainment venues in your community frequently cause people to call the police because they don’t feel they have anywhere else to turn. Unfortunately, when those police officers go to the nightclubs in response to your complaints, those police officers are no longer available to respond to other serious crimes throughout your city. This creates very serious public safety issues that can result in an entire city being virtually defenseless against other serious crimes and violence because a single nightclub is consuming all the city’s law enforcement resources.
We are aware of many venues throughout the country that consume significant police resources (and taxpayer dollars) literally every night. A police chief, speaking at a city council meeting in a large city in California, said that
“One nightclub literally consumed all of our law enforcement resources . . . we had to even call officers in from a neighboring city.”
Additionally, the chief said that
“. . . the cost is about $100,000 per year for two officers to make their periodic passes.”
That’s just for two police officers for one venue in one city. When you multiply that $100,000 times all the officers that must respond to all the venues throughout the United States, you can begin to see how serious this problem really is.
Stop wasting your taxpayer dollars. In a 2006 interview with Ferris Eanfar, spokesperson for Venue Security Corporation, Mr. Eanfar said,
“$100s millions are wasted each year in the United States because police are called to venues for disturbances that could have been resolved much more efficiently through a more direct communication system between the communities and the venues. That figure is based on over seven years of industry research.”
By using this free service to communicate your concerns directly to the venues, you will be relieving a significant burden from your local law enforcement authorities, and as a result, you and your community will benefit from substantial tax savings.
The venues will thank you. Instead of going straight to the police, if you give the entertainment venues an opportunity to resolve your concerns via the Club Watch Community Connection first, the nightclubs will avoid negative law enforcement attention. This is very important to them; as a result, they will be much more responsive to the issues that you communicate to them via the Club Watch Community Connection because they will know that you’re trying to resolve the issue without involving the police.
Using the Club Watch Community Connection helps you, your community, and the venues. It truly is a “win-win-win” situation for everybody involved.
