Lacey Businesses Can Register With Police Department
Registry available online as police investigate recent incidents
Lacey police announced this week that the department has instituted an electronic method for township business owners to keep their emergency contact information up-to-date.
"The police department will use this information for after-hour emergencies at local businesses to contact a designated person should an issue arise," according to an e-mail from Chief David A. Paprota.
The registry will be a way the department can more "efficiently and effectively serve the public," the chief said.
Business can sign up for the registry online.
Reports issued by police indicate that the department responds to a number of calls at township businesses each week.
Most recently, Lacey officers responded to a Manchester Avenue business where burglars forcefully pried open the rear door of the business, breaking the door handle, to gain entrance to the business suite. About $2,400 in power tools were stolen in the Sept. 18 incident.
Two days later, officers responded to a Lacey Road doctor's office where a window was shattered by a projectile, causing $1,342 in damage.
