SAFETY • NEVER turn your back on the cart with a purse inside while reaching for items. We’ve all seen it — a grocery cart with a purse, no owner in sight! • NEVER leave a purse hanging on back of a chair. • ALWAYS keep your purse on your arm or crossed over to the front and keep it CLOSED! • ALWAYS keep your purse next to you when at a restaurant or any public area where you are sitting. • ALWAYS keep your wallet in a FRONT pocket if possible. SAFEGUARD YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ON SHARED COMPUTERS Please remember to log out of all online accounts when you are finished using the computer in the Media Center. This includes email providers, shopping sites, banking sites, and social media accounts. In the interest of your safety and security, passwords should never be saved on a shared computer. Please see Staff if you have any questions. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH (NW) CORNER By Fay Wood, NW Chief Save the Date for the 2025 Police Chiefs Meet & Greet on February 3, 2025! Worth The Reminder - Courtesy of Law Enforcement Unattended Purses & Wallets in Shopping Carts are an open invitation to thieves. Whether inside a shopping cart or hanging on the back of a chair, this practice is just advertising to the bad guys. • NEVER leave a purse in a cart when running to another aisle. You can never be too careful! Lake Ashton’s total all inclusive NW Community has a strong watchful eye atmosphere thanks to our dedicated Law Enforcement Teams and complimented by our very own Citizens Assisted Patrol (CAP); CERT, Gate Attendants, Loyal Vendors, Management and CDD/HOA Leadership and most important our residents who stay involved. Thank you all for your teamwork and support. May the New Year bring us all good health, safety, security and unity across our great community; county, and the world!
