2. Never leave anything of value in your.
3. Keep things of value out of sight while they are in your car.
4. Keep your car in your garage when possible.
5. Close your garage door.
6. Keep your home locked at all times (doors and windows).

8. Trim the brush from around your windows and doors for better visibility from all angles.
9. Make sure your outside lighting is working (motion sensors, bulbs, etc.)
10. Call the Leon County Sheriff's office (922-3300) whenver anything seems strange. Remember that it's their job to figure out what's pertinent. It's our job to report it. You can also call your Crime Watch Block Captain.

SCOOTERS, ATVs and "GO PEDS"

Motorized scooters also known as "Go Peds", "Go Carts" and ATVs that a lot of kids and a few adults are noisily buzzing otherwise quite neighborhood streets with are by Florida law prohibited from being operated on the public streets or on sidewalks.

REPORT TRAFFIC
VIOLATIONS ON-LINE
TO LCSO

The scooters, ATVs, go-carts, etc. are defined by statute as motor vehicles but, since they can't be registered, they can't be driven on the street. Since they are motor vehicles, they can't be driven on the sidewalk either. That leaves only privately owned parking lots, driveways or other similar privately owned places. If it has a motor on it and does not have a license plate, it's illegal to operate anywhere but private property.
The illegal use of these motor vehicles on public streets may be reported to the Leon County Sheriff's office 922-3300. or on-line.
