SECURITY UPDATE (Fred Corvo, Security Direc- tor): Together with Allied Universal (the com- pany which provides security personnel and technical services for our perimeter camera network and security data services) we have analyzed and evaluated our perimeter vulnera- bility and have designed solutions to strengthen our security profile. We have received information from local law enforcement agencies and other gated communities about a rash of vehicle and home burglaries. Our security staff has been made aware of these incidents and have been placed on high alert, paying special attention to our perimeter.

Frenchman’s Creek prides itself on its security and we are requesting all homeown- ers to assist us during these difficult times. We are asking our community to be extra vigilant, take all necessary precautions and assist us in being proactive by keeping your homes and vehicles locked at all times. Never leave your keys in your cars and when you leave your house or retire for the evening, lock the doors and set your alarm. Security will be closing the resident lanes each evening at 10:00 p.m. and in- specting every home in the community each night to ensure that all cars are in the garage and garage doors are closed. We are main- taining an open line of communication with every law enforcement agency in our immedi- ate area and also monitoring all security inci- dents in nearby gated communities. Please do not hesitate to call Security at 561-622-7800, with any security concerns.
