There have been many changes in security over the last month. We have a new head of security in Junior, the rover is now operating twenty four hours and the resident’s side at
the main entrance has been closed off after eleven o’clock at night.
We know we can’t shut our self off to the outside world and the crime which is going on around us but every little bit helps. Remember the times we live in now are much different
than just a few years ago. We are taking every initiative possible to protect ourselves, our families and guests. It is a proven fact that criminals will go to the area where the
pickings are easy and we are making sure it is not Rainberry Bay.
The twenty-four (24) hour rover service is not only to prevent crime. All of the guards have been trained in CPR and the use of our defibrillators. They are the first responders in
case of emergency. When time is of the essence they are right here on the property and will be at your door before EMS even arrives. Remember in case of a medical
emergency call 911 first then call security for assistance. If you see any situation that does not look right to you, call security and ask them to send a car to investigate. Better safe
than sorry.
We are still finding many residents leaving their garage doors open. This is an open invitation to enter your premises. There are many snakes, raccoons and vermin around that
find an open garage door an open invitation to become a member of your family. Please keep the door closed for you own safety.

KEEP YOUR CAR KEYS CLOSE AT HAND
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or
someone trying to get in your house, just
press the panic button for your car.
The alarm will be set off, and the horn will
continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for
the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this:
This would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't
reach a phone. If you carry your car keys, you can activate the car alarm in case you
fall outside to alert people there is a problem.

This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for
the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this:
- It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no
installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and
will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button
on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage If your car
alarm goes o! ff when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the
burglar rapist won't stick around... After a few seconds all the nei ghbors will be
looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal
won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a
parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there . This is something that
should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual
abuse crime.

After looking at the weekly crime data, I had to share this with you.
In the last 2 weeks of September, and the first two weeks of this month, there
has been a significant drop off in the crimes reported in Lake Ida. In fact, just
one larceny was reported so far in October!
This trend coincides with the start of the Volunteer Patrols, if I am not mistaken. I
want to thank those who have given their time to make Lake Ida safer! We do
the very best we can with the current state of the Criminal Justice System.
However, with great ‘suspicious person’ calls from your residents and now the
high profile Volunteer patrols, the difference is dramatic!
I am proud of the partnership you have fostered with the Delray Beach Police
Department, and I use you and LIPOA as a model in my discussions with other
HOA Boards.
Thanks for the support, involvement and strength that you add to our City.
