As Mobile Auto Tech Professionals we drive in our town every day in the course of our normal operations. We have a unique opportunity that few other business owners share because we develop a comprehensive overview of our community. We know what is happening in the city and us and on all day, while those of our services or facilities in business parks, industrial areas, retail complexes, civic centers, housing and other local neighborhoods. There is probably no other profession more suited to ground consciousness or hostile intelligence people in a village or town. Our normal methods of business may be an important contribution to the neighborhood watch programs and even our national security.
About fifteen years ago our company had some expensive equipment stolen from the back of one of our vehicles in broad daylight while parked for a shop on a busy street. There were several people nearby, but nobody was focusing on the general movement of the shoppers and strolling passers-by. Minutes later we arrived in the shop and found the equipment missing. Many people have forgotten what is around them. It is noteworthy to say that the current Mobile Tech Professionals do not share this common characteristic citizen. We all know how important it is to an eye on our equipment. Most of us have hard-mounted equipment, locked tool boxes and alarms. Over the years we have become accustomed to watching our stuff while on the job sites. What we have learned and observed, we decided to do more for the eyes and ears of the community. More than a decade ago in California, we started with the "Neighborhood Watch Mobile Patrol, which works in conjunction with local police, Chamber of Commerce and City Hall to further protect citizens and their property against damage.
An area Mobile Watch Patrol program is not difficult to set up and can be rewarding, both personally and for your community. The program makes use of mobile type businesses like yours that have been trained to a watchful eye during the trip around the city during their normal service calls. If we see suspicious behavior that we all have mobile phones and immediately called in. The publicity is good and helps the confidence of customers who can now your pro-active and professional practices of the competition from the more dubious services. We are all aware of those services to be reluctant to turn over their car keys due to the fear of their personal or their entire vehicle is stolen. In this post 9-11 world, customers are nervous and feel not as safe as they did in previous times. You can easily create a number of these problems through a part of the solution.
The creation of a local Neighborhood Mobile Watch Patrol Program can also help to increase your business community contacts. This program can quickly build networks with other non-related and non-competitive mobile business and route drivers. The most mobile business owners, many people and the dozens of new people per week as you. Most drivers make route 20-60 deliveries per day and hundreds of people who might know your potential new customers. Networking with other business owners and mobile route drivers can add to your grass roots word of mouth marketing campaigns. These drivers and businesses in your neighborhood Mobile Watch Patrol program team, you can increase sales, reduce crime and unite the community. It's all good!
The success of these programs in preventing and deterring crime is documented in communities across the nation. For crimes that are committed, a tip from an area Mobile Watch Patrol team members can make the difference between catching the culprit or the creation of a future victim. Recently, success in our area Mobile Watch Patrol was the subject of a Salt Lake City, Utah news article.
Last week we were by a Texas Police Department coordinator who indicated that their city was also interested in such a community based on the successes and were implementing the program. Their city is located on a major two-lane highway are suspected of carrying illegal drugs and had several unexplained murders where the bodies were just dumped. In the past ten years the Neighborhood Mobile Watch Patrol concept is well received by hundreds of police and sheriff departments nationwide.
Our company has always believed in giving back to the communities in which we operate and, like you and your company we realize that most of our business comes from direct marketing and word-of-mouth advertising. As we talk with more and more police departments across the country and the needs of our new Department of Homeland Security show that in order to prevent the next terrorist attack, everyone attention. A tip from an observant citizen or Neighborhood Watch Program can foil a murderous attack as 9-11or a terrible flight suspect. Indeed it is a mobile trucker warned that the police on a vehicle matching the description of the Washington DC shooters not too long ago. This is where the Mobile Auto Service Tech industry a big difference.
