Jupiter Farms Sheriff's Substation
|
The crime watch web program was
developed over a year and a half ago for the Jupiter
Farms Crime Watch organization, and has been in use
since then in our community. The Sheriff has been so
impressed by the results of using the program here in
the Farms that he is implementing it county wide. The
web site allows the Sheriff’s Office to communicate
quickly with the members about crimes or any serious
situation via the Internet, email, cell phones and
pagers. The ability to notify all the members in a few
seconds can be particularly useful in our community
during the dry season when there is a high risk of fire.
The web site also has membership areas and
communications abilities for the C.O.P. and C.E.R.T.
programs. Residents can sign up for these programs on
line, gaining access to the Member’s Only section after
membership is approved.
To become a member, go
to http://www.pbsosafecommunities.com/
click on “Jupiter Farms” from the drop down box on the
upper right area and click “GO!!”. This will bring you
to the Jupiter Farms area. Click on the program you are
interested in joining from the menu on the left, such as
“Crime Watch” or “C.O.P.”. Then click on the “Sign Up
Here!” button on the right side next to the program
title. Fill out all the information and click “Submit.”
The program leader will receive an email informing them
of your registration, and will okay your membership.
Once this is done, you have access to the Member’s Only
section.
The program is free to Members and the
Sheriff’s Office. It is funded by Sponsorship Banners,
at the top of each page. Sponsorship is inexpensive.
Thank you to all the Jupiter Farms businesses that have
sponsored the Jupiter Farms Community pages, and special
thanks to the Jupiter Farms Residents Inc. for their
support. If you have any questions or comments about the
site or wish to be a Sponsor, please call Mike Lopilato
of CrimeWatchAmerica at 743-5301.
