HOTEL SECURITY NETWORK
The San Antonio Hotel & Lodging Association (SAHLA) has formed a partnership with the Hotel Association of Greater Dallas to adapt their successful Hotel Security Network for our San Antonio area.
How the System Works
-
A security concern occurs at a lodging site within the network.
-
A representative from the property site fills out the required information on a Hotel Security Network form and faxes it to the SAHLA office.
-
SAHLA contacts the property to be sure that law enforcement officals have been contacted and a formal report was filed with appropriate authorities.
-
The SAHLA office complies the information from the reporting form into an official "ALERT". The ALERT is faxed and/or emailed to all Hotel Security Network participants and to law enforcement authorities.
In addition to the ALERT system, a 59 page Reference Manual - orginally created and copy written by the Hotel Associaton of Greater Dallas - provides Front Desk personnel with a wide variety of information to assist them in dealing with situations that could be serious or criminal in nature. This book has been modified to meet our San Antonio requirements. You can download the entire manual from this page on our website.
The San Antonio manual contains an extensive list of helpful telephone numbers in our area, special SAPD programs and a detailed listing of all departments and divisions of the San Antonio Police Department. The manual and the network system have been reviewed and approved by the San Antonio Police Department and carries their logo on the cover page.
Deputy Chief Harry Griffin serves as our San Antonio Police Department contact and coordinator.
Hoteliers in the San Antonio area are encouraged to sign up for the Network System. There is no charge and membership in the Association is not required. This system is meant to be a public service to our community and to help form a bond between all of our lodging colleagues.
SIGN UP TODAY!
If your property has not signed up to be in this program, you can download the two required forms from this website and fax them into our office. Once you are "on-board", you will receive the Incident Report document so that you can report any situation that occurs at your property site that needs to be shared with the hotel community.
