BIA Security
One of the primary functions of the BIA is to provide additional security services in downtown Tacoma. For workers residents, students, shoppers and employers, the BIA Security Patrol means safety and security in downtown. The BIA Security patrols, in their yellow and black uniforms are a readily identifiable fixture in downtown Tacoma.
Working in partnership with the Tacoma Police Department, UWT Security, Pierce Transit and other security entities, via NEXTEL radios, the patrols provide a security presence and respond to calls in downtown from 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. daily.
In addition to their regular patrols, BIA Security is available for security escorts within downtown anytime during operating hours.

In addition to the security patrols, the BIA hosts SecureNet, an email listserve notification system used to alert the downtown community to security incidents and suspicious persons. To be added to the SecureNet please email your contact information to chelseal@tacomachamber.org
