CommunityPatrolJoe BergerJust a few notes for all <strong>the</strong> residents <strong>of</strong> <strong>On</strong><strong>Top</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>World</strong>. When hiring someone to dowork in or around your home, have him or hergo through <strong>On</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>World</strong> CustomerService so that <strong>the</strong>y can make sure that whoeveris doing <strong>the</strong> work is properly licensed andinsured. Keep all valuables, such as jewelry,cash and credit cards, secured and not visible.This takes temptation away from anyone.Remember, cheap is not always a bargainand when people are licensed and insured,you have more recourse.I would like to remind all residents againthat Captain Burton, who is in charge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>State Road 200 Sheriff’s <strong>of</strong>fice, has put toge<strong>the</strong>ra staff <strong>of</strong> trained people to evaluate yourhome security needs.Something I would strongly suggest is thatresidents keep <strong>the</strong>ir garage doors closed andlocked, especially at night. Do not leave keysin your car at anytime, whe<strong>the</strong>r in your drivewayor at any shopping area.
