I contacted the Ocean Ridge Police Department in January and requested a representative come and talk to Colonial Ridge Club about crime prevention. On Feb. 4, Lt. Chris Yannuzzi and Investigator Hal Hutchins presented a crime prevention workshop. Topics included identity theft, Internet theft and personal protection. With 35 people in attendance, Yannuzzi and Hutchins provided useful and common sense information to make us safer.     
Ocean Ridge is a safe community, but crime doesn’t stop at the Intracoastal and crime prevention is a partnership between the police and citizens. In addition to the presentation, handouts were provided. The response from the residents was very positive. The Ocean Ridge Police Department should be commended for the quick response to our request for crime prevention information and the professional workshop.    
Keep your doors, windows and cars locked, and if you get the feeling that something isn’t right, call the police.
