More than a certification program…
Successful completion of the Safeways Certification Program and execution of a Memorandum of Agreement entitles the property owner to installation of a Safeways Certified Community Sign (provided by Safeways), and authorizes the owner to advertise the property’s designation as a Safeways Certified Community while the Memorandum of Agreement is in effect.
In addition, Safeways Certified Communities receive the following services while their certification is in effect:
- Monthly site visits;
- Quarterly night visits;
- Quarterly crime reporting;
- Constant monitoring of crime in and around the community;
- Periodic training/educational opportunities for property management staff;
