C.O.P. Neighborhood Crime Stoppers

---

Summer is here and our community has become quieter since our friends have gone back north. We wish them a safe summer and look forward to their return in the fall. Hope they all filled out the Home Watch Forms.

Our C.O.P. program continues with new mission duties which allow us to be more hands on. Please see me or any of our volunteers for an application.

Please note that every single deputy in Dania Beach has received a 40 hour course on crises intervention…
