Residential Security (Zoom only)

The truth is, crime can make its way into any neighborhood, no matter how "safe" it is. In times of economic distress, people are even more concerned about rising crime in their communities. On the bright side, there are plenty of preventative measures one can take to protect his/her home, as well as the neighborhood. The steps could be as simple as keeping the doors locked, or be more complex like starting a neighborhood watch program. Even though no place is immune to crime, team work with neighbors and family members can really make a difference to minimize it. Did you know the number one crime reported in Lee County is car burglary? 99% of the time, cars are left unlocked. Crooks take advantage! Do you know which room thieves target first and what they want? The Lee County Sheriff's Office has a long list of simple tips to make sure your home and property are safe. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have, in general, or regarding the community. They will also be happy to assist in the creation of a Neighborhood Watch program.
