Hi Everybody,
I have had two different phone calls on this so be on the guard. There has been teen ager's knocking on doors selling books for an organization but won't say what it is, or leave any information, and they say that they live in Bent Oak. On Tues. it was a young man and when the property owner asked him his name and where he lived, he gave a name Williams and gave an address, well the address does not exist. When I received the call I went right out looking for that person and could not locate him. Today (4/25/08 Friday) I received another phone call and this time the person called the non-emergency number to make a report, I went looking for the young lady but did not see her, maybe she left. So please be on the guard on this issue, and please be safe...... Dave

Vacation Tips
With Vacation time getting closer, here is some good ideas on how to be just a little more safe, and have fun on vacation..... Dave
ON THE ROAD
While you are on your vacation, you can greatly increase our protection by taking the following safety precautions.
Carry traveler’s checks instead of large amounts of cash.
Always carry wallets, purses and bags securely. (Do not leave purses on chairs, under tables or on restroom hooks.)
Keep your cash, jewelry and valuables (such as passports, cameras and airline tickets) locked in your hotel safety deposit box or safe.
Keep track of your keys. (You may consider returning your hotel room key to the front desk while away from your room.)
Do not leave room keys laying around the swimming pool.
NEVER pick up hitchhikers.
Never leave your keys in unattended car, even while running a quick errand or filling up with gas.
While driving, travel on main roads and use maps.
Lock any packages, cameras, clothing or other valuables in the trunk when you leave your car.
At night, park your car in a well-lighted area. Remember to lock doors and roll up windows.
Be wary of solicitors.
Travel in pairs or groups if possible.
Pay attention to your surroundings. Should you see anything suspicious call 9-1-1.
ALWAYS lock your hotel room door, even if just going for ice. Intruders much prefer to walk in rather than crash in.

Internet Safety
Hi Everybody, Here is some information you might be interested in, it is concerning internet use, thank you, have a safe day..... Dave
GENERAL INFORMATION
FOLLOW THE SAME COMMON-SENSE RULES THAT YOU FOLLOW IN "REAL LIFE."
DO NOT GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION TO STRANGERS. Never tell your computer passwords to anyone who asks for them in a chat room or by instant message. Think very carefully before giving out your real name, address, telephone number, work place, or any other bit of information that someone with evil thoughts could use to hurt you.
NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. If you are registering for a service that has a legitimate need for your Social Security number, provide the information through traditional mail.
KNOW WHO YOU ARE DOING BUSINESS WITH. Check out who you do business with on the internet, just as you would if you were trying to get your lawn mower repaired, looking for someone to do your taxes, etc.
BE VERY SELECTIVE WHO YOU GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER TO. Some web sites have set up systems for conducting secure credit card transactions by encrypting your information when you order merchandise. They are PROBABLY safer than sites without similar programs. Remember rule 4.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD FILE ATTACHMENTS FROM PEOPLE YOU DO NOT KNOW. This applies both to other web sites and e-mail. Most computer viruses come in the form of executable files.
THINK BEFORE YOU POST YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS. Otherwise your computer may end up being a dumping ground for junk-mail. If you have already become an e-mail junk-mail victim, try contacting your service provider to change your e-mail name and leave no forwarding address. If this is unsuccessful, you may need to change your service provider. Then, let only those you wish to communicate with know your new internet address

INFO FROM OCSO
I received this from the Sheriffs Office, thought you might be interested... Dave
Participants Wanted
60 people Needed to train FREE in advanced first aid/CPR/Emergency Response to respond in the event of a large disaster.
I just wanted to send you information that you could share with your contacts regarding a grant that we’ve received at Red Cross to train 60 people in advanced first aid/CPR/Emergency Response to respond in the event of a large disaster. This grant will allow us to offer our normally $300 emergency responder course for free to people who are willing to become Red Cross volunteers and make a commitment to respond to work in one of our shelters or other places as required should we have a major disaster. Please call me or email with any questions you might have. I’ve attached the schedule for training. Our March class has already started but there is still a class in April and another one in May. I look forward to hearing from you.

CRIMEWATCH ALERT
I recieved this from the Sheriffs dept. please be on the guard.... Thank you, Dave
Gypsy Alerts
Please be aware that we may have Gypsies in the Central Florida area. These individuals traditionally commit fraud and other crimes in our community.
Here are some common practices by these individuals:
o They contact a homeowner and tell the homeowner that they need some type of home repair (usually roof repair). The Gypsy will then collect cash to purchase the home repair supplies only to never be seen again.
o Gypsy talks their way into a person’s home, distracts the homeowner and takes valuables from inside the home.
o They pose as either utility company worker a tree trimmer, a surveyor or something similar. They lure the elderly resident out of their house. Once this occurs, another member of the crew will enter the residence and in a matter of just a few minutes, steal cash, jewelry, etc from the house.
o A common technique used by these individuals to get into your home. They will claim that a neighbor asked them to stop by your place. They will even know your neighbor’s name. Please be cautious.
Many of these individuals will have the equipment and tools to fit
the role of a repairman or contractor that they are impersonating.
“DO NOT BE FOOLED”
“STAY ALERT” “
“SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS”
ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING
o DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO ENTER YOUR HOME UNLESS THEY ARE FAMILY OR A TRUSTED FRIEND.
o USE CAUTION WHEN SOMEONE APPROACHES YOU. EVEN WHEN THEY SAY THAT THEY WERE REFERRED TO YOU BY YOUR NEIGHBOR.
o CONTACT YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IF YOU SUSPECT OR FEAR SOMEONE IS TRYING TO ENTER YOUR HOME
SHERIFF’S OFFICE
EMERGENCY 911
NON EMERGENCY 407-836-HELP (4357)
o WHEN SOME KNOCKS ON YOUR DOOR ALWAYS ANSWER THROUGH A CLOSED WINDOW. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY KNOW THE PERSON.
