Ringgold Police launch Business Partner Sticker Program

Merchants in Ringgold who want to send a clear message to thieves and burglars can do that now under a new police department program.

The Ringgold Police Department has launched the “Business Partner Sticker Program.”

It is a warning to thieves and burglars that police are closely monitoring that business.

There’s no cost for the monitoring.

The program adds your company to a database that includes extra information about the business.

Ringgold Police Captain Chris Faulk tells us “a lot of times we get calls to respond to alarms or other open doors and things of that nature..a lot of times the alarm companies don’t have all the information needed for us to get a hold to someone who is the owner or manager at the business….so we come up with a plan to get better tracking information.”

The business will be marked with a unique “sticker badge” that tells responding officers there’s more information on file.

The police department has signed up 45 businesses so far.
