MADERA POLICE SECURITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

Welcome to the City of Madera Police Department's Security Program. This program is a part of the Business Watch series that the Madera Chamber of Commerce and Madera Police Department have created to assist you in making your business a safer place for you, your employees, and your customers. This program is FREE OF CHARGE - just complete the Madera Police Department Security Assessment Request Form and FAX to the Chamber Office at (559) 673-5009.

In partnership with the Madera Police Department, the Madera District Chamber of Commerce "Security Assessment Program" was developed to help businesses with interior and exterior security evaluations of their business locations - at no cost. The results have been a safer community and a better working relationship with the police department.

At the 2008 annual Western Association of Chamber Executives (W.A.C.E.) Conference in San Diego, the Madera Chamber of Commerce received an "Outstanding New Program” award for this program. Entries were judged in three categories – innovativeness, success (based on whether the program met or exceeded the chamber’s goals) and can this/should this program be duplicated by other chambers of commerce. This award-winning program was created through a concept from, and in partnership with, the City of Madera Police Department. This collaboration with the Chamber was developed by City of Madera Police Department Administrative Sergeant Dino Lawson and Crime Prevention Officer Durbin Lloren.

The Madera Chamber of Commerce is extremely proud of receiving this award, and along with the City of Madera Police Department would like to thank those who have supported and participated in the program. If you have not requested your Business Security Assessment yet, you can do so by completing the form above.

ABOUT W.A.C.E.
The purpose of W.A.C.E. is to enhance and promote the professional growth and competence of Chamber of Commerce Executives. Incorporated in 1924, the association has played a significant role in the growth and development of chamber of commerce professionals, including management assistance for new chamber executives and other staff. Over the years, membership has become synonymous with access to a network of experienced chamber executives and exposure to emerging trends and usable ideas on every facet of chamber of commerce management. In 1995 the association dropped its California boundary and became the Western Association of Chamber Executives (W.A.C.E.). It now represents the fifteen western states including… California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Hawaii and Illinois.
