While You Were Sleeping Safety initiative

PUBLIC SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY!
Our “While You Were Sleeping initiative” is a proactive program where our deputies identify security concerns and educate the community. “Protecting our neighborhoods is a shared responsibility. Secure your home and vehicle, and look out for your neighbors. Together, we can build a safer, stronger community,” said Sheriff Dr. Gregory Tony.
Here are a few tips to help deter crime in your neighborhood:
Do not leave valuables or keys inside your vehicle.
Always lock the windows and doors of your home and vehicle.
Remember to close your garage door.
Install motion-activated lights around your property.
Invest in alarm and surveillance systems.
Follow the 2 ft/6 ft rule - Trim shrubbery in front of windows higher than 2 feet and no tree branches below 6 ft.
Build a strong community network with your neighbors to help watch each other’s property while you’re away.
Report suspicious activity immediately to BSO’s non-emergency number at 954-764-HELP (4357).
