Shes the president of the azalea safe neighborhood association. Born and raised in the area, shes advocating for months to create a partnership between her Sheriffs Office and the private Security Company g 4s. Im very excited about it, personally and the residents that come to our monthly meetings are excited as well. Its going to give us additional coverage that we wouldnt necessarily have. At a price tag of about 150,000, taken from a Law Enforcement trust fund, made up of criminal fines. The patrols are set to expire in a few months the partnership, only in the testing phase. Even though armed, the private Security Guards are only allowed to make a citizens arrest, similar to Security Guards at a business. This is like having private security in a gated neighborhood. These folks deserve it. Theyve worked very, very, very hard over the past few years to this is a way to maintain whats happening here, which is a reduction in criminal activity. The Orange CountySheriffs Office says if a citizen filed a complaint against one of their Security Guards, the person could argue to hold the Sheriffs Office responsible as if the Security Guard was an employee of the Sheriffs Office. We received a special opinion from the Florida AttorneyGenerals Office that this was an appropriate expenditure because it is about Crime Prevention as well as making a community feel safer as well. The sheriff also says all of these private Security Guards involved in this partnership have had extensive orientation training with the Sheriffs Office before hitting the streets and the Sheriffs Office also saying they hope to expand the partnership eventually to other neighborhoods.
