Help make this National Night Out a special one, and hopefully everyone in this great community will participate. See you there! CITIZEN’S ASSISTED PATROL (CAP) By Mike Weissberg Since all residents are a part of Neighborhood Watch, you already are watching things around you. Citizens Assisted Patrol does this by patrolling our streets. CAP’s job is to look for things that do not belong in the community. Our presence with lights flashing while patrolling the streets is a deterrent to help keep these streets safe. CAP is always looking for more volunteers to patrol the streets. Come help be the eyes, ears, and presence for the Sheriff’s department. Patrols are once a week for two hours. Applications are available in 10 17 Let’s Talk WiFi Thieves (Courtesy of Law Enforcement) In this mobile society, everyone takes their electronics devices everywhere. WiFi access is so popular in public places — it’s a great way to check email, verify financial information, do internet shopping, make reservations and much more. BUT you could be opening yourself up to losing your personal information to a thief! How it works You turn on your electronic device in a WiFi zone. Several choices appear. Problem? Some are not legitimate. If you connect to the wrong network, you could enjoy the internet while the thief is collecting your personal information. Connect to a legitimate WiFi connection Look at your connection page. If you see a description of “computer to computer” with an icon of several computers, STAY AWAY! A legitimate wireless network will simply say, “wireless network” and display only one icon. If you are uncertain - DON'T CONNECT! It's not a good idea to take a chance. Legitimate businesses with free WiFi are helpful to assist customers, so don’t be afraid to ask. Finally, be sure to set up your device so it DOES NOT automatically connect to a wireless network! You should control the connections — not the airwaves.
