FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – Whether it’s an unruly hotel guest or a different crime, hotels can now stop or prevent illegal activity a lot easier thanks to the Business Watch program that the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office launched in August.“It just allows us to get in there, help the business and ensure that their business is not only safe for themselves and their employees, but for their customers,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said.Staly said it’s like the Neighborhood Watch Program but for the business community and they’re starting with hotels.
He said their Homeland Security Unit, which is part of the real time crime center, visits the properties to make suggestions and educate management.
