When operating a storage facility it’s important to have a positive relationship with your local police department and especially today with the recent tragedies on both sides of the law. If your facility is located in a large city, this can be a big advantage for your self storage business. You might have a tenant issue or you have witness a crime in your area . Building a relationship let’s them know that you care and you’re doing your part in the community. The people that serve the community are also our customers. I once had an officer chase down an individual that had damaged our gate. He didn’t have to do that , but he did ! I have often seen him help other citizens will car problems at the service station next to our facility. Do you have a customer that you really like and that person has been friendly to you. You remember that person and you look out for them. The same can apply with law enforcement. Not only will they protect and serve, don’t be surprised to see referrals from them. StoreRight offers a discount to local police, military and public safety professions.
If you haven’t already , take the time to become active in your community and build a relationship with your local law enforcement . You want them on your side and they need to know you’re with them !
