That's a good idea Jimmie to work with the local police. They can also give you a heads up about crime in the area, latest drug trends, and mostly if they found "Dr. Jimmie" on the pill bottles from the abuser under the bridge.
I'm no fire marshal, but I think the key is that you can escape from the inside. We did have a conflict with a security analysis for MU. They said the staff door on the side should be locked during business hours, but there was a question about that violating code as it has a deadbolt.
