DON’T SAVE YOUR HOME ADDRESS IN YOUR GPS UNDER THE
TITLE
“
HOME
”
.
Recently it seems that thieves are looking for cars with GPS units for several reasons, one of which is to see if your address is listed in the “Home” saved location. Most GPS devices have a “Home” option where you can store and easily retrieve your home address without having to retype it every time. Potential burglars figure if they find your car far enough away from your home, then you’re away from home as well making you that much more of a potential target. Instead of saving your address under the title “Home”, save it under a random name that still points you to your home. Then for “Home” you could put the address of your local law enforcement agency.

Please observe the MOVE OVER law. Click here to see the MOVE OVER video
Motorists oftentimes do not see emergency vehicles, and fail to avoid closed lanes or emergency workers on or near the roadway. In some cases, weather and road conditions can reduce a motorist's ability to see law enforcement officers, fire fighters and medical personnel working the scene of a crash. However, motorists need to pay attention to vehicles parked on the side of roadways, especially emergency vehicles with flashing lights, and react in accordance with the Move Over Law and use basic common sense.
Law requires you to vacate the lane closest to the EMERGENCY VEHICLE or WRECKER (TOW TRUCK). If you cannot, you must slow to a speed 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit. If the speed limit is 20mph or less you must slow to 5 mph.

Tips for Reporting Graffiti
Reporting graffiti to the police is important for intelligence gathering purpose but it is also equally important to report graffiti to Code Enforcement who can require the owner of the property to remove it within 24 to 48 hours. Attached is a copy of important city department phone numbers.
The Osceola County Sheriff Office has also started a new graffiti abatement program. They will be going out two Fridays a month to paint over graffiti in the city and county.

JambBrace The Door Reinforcer
Developed by veteran home builders and supported by law enforcement agencies and insurance companies, the JambBrace was designed with homeowners in mind.
JambBrace is a heavy-duty aluminum insert that strengthens the weakest part of a door - its frame. Completely concealed within the door trim, the JambBrace is unseen. The preferred installation of the JambBrace is to use it with a Kwikset Titan dead bolt and a U-shaped door edge protector. This "door reinforcer" makes it virtually impossible to break-in the door using physical force.
With just a few tools and detailed instructions that accompany your JambBrace, within an hour you can feel the same confidence and security that thousands of other JambBrace users feel knowing their home is more safe.
Don't want to do it yourself, we offer expert installation.
