Jasper Police Department seeking updated business info

The Jasper Police Department has implemented a new method for local business owners to update their contact information for after-hours alarms or emergencies.

With the business environment constantly changing due to promotions, retirements or personnel turnover, the police department is asking that Jasper business owners take a moment to review their contact list, make any appropriate changes and submit those changes to the police department.

In an effort to make this process more efficient and user friendly, a business profile form has been added to the city’s website at http://www.jasperindiana.gov. Business owners can go to the police department’s webpage and locate the form under the Useful Links tab.

Please provide names, home phone number and cell phone number of all the emergency callouts. While business owners may have already provided this information to their alarm company, it’s also important for your local law enforcement to be able to contact you in a timely manner as well. Often times the callout person will need to respond to provide access to the building as well as reset the alarm. Other times it may not necessarily be an activated alarm, but rather some other type of incident in which an officer requests a response from a key holder.

If you are a new business owner or have never provided your information in the past, please provide this data and your business will be added to the data base. Anytime you have changes to your contact list, please access the website and submit an updated form. Keep in mind that it’s your place of business that emergency personnel are responding to and submitting a current and accurate contact list helps to provide for a prompt response.
