SAN DIEGO (Border Report) -- Small business owners in Tijuana are urging the city to allow them to link their security cameras to the police department's command center for police to provide them with panic buttons as a way to combat a rash of robberies and extortion attempts.Gina Villalobos, director of the Small Business Chamber of Commerce in Tijuana, said such crimes continue to rise and small business owners are forced to take matters into their own hands.
