Summer is Here. Are you Ready?

From the Bench

- Judge Jeff Cox

It is hard to believe how fast time is flying! Here we are at summer again and people are getting ready for outdoor grilling, swimming, and the lazy, hazy days of summer. As we all get ready for vacation, we need to keep some things in mind that may help keep our property safe this summer.

If you plan to leave on a trip out of town for vacation, you will want to have someone watch your home. One possible solution is your local police or sheriff’s office. If you call them before you leave town, you can advise them you will be out of town and can ask them to check on your home. These offices will usually send cars to check your residences and make sure that all is well at your home. Most police and sheriff’s offices offer this service as a public service.
