Get reacquainted with the Safety First Friday Pledge.
BFF Omahaโs Safety First Friday Pledge states that your establishment will encourage, expect, and strive to maintain a safe environment with a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and assault.
If visitors feel unsafe at any time while in your establishment, staff or someone of authority will promptly take steps to address the situation, or, if necessary, remove the person(s) responsible and/or notify the proper authorities.
Keep an eye out for our Safety First Friday buttons worn by BFF volunteers and decals in business windows. In the event you need help, look out for the Triangle Safety First Friday Boobutt Badge or First Friday Safe Space Pledge. This person and/or business will be able to help!
For more information and to sign the pledge on behalf of your business, please visit bffomaha.org/about.
Letโs keep each other safe!
