Hello everyone, I’m PIO Director Paul Bloom, we hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! I’m sure some of you made New Year’s resolutions, and that is what I’m here to talk to you about. I want to suggest that you add LOCKING YOUR DOORS to your list of New Year’s resolutions. Today I pulled statistics on all the vehicle burglaries that have occurred in Marion County since January 1, 2018 until today. In the last 9 days, we have had 20 vehicle burglaries, of these 20 burglaries only 3 of them were locked. That’s right 17 out of 20 cars were unlocked.
Here are the items that were stolen: IPHONE, STUN GUN, PURSE, PERSONAL DOCUMENTS AND IMPORTANT PAPERS, CHECKBOOKS, A PISTOL!!! A FOOTBALL, A CAMERA, A BACKPACK, A WALLET, 1800 DOLLARS IN CASH, PHONE CHARGERS, MEDICATIONS, PURSE, GIFT CARDS, PURSE?!?! POWER TOOLS, A GPS AND JEWELRY…..
I’m out of breath!! That is too much. 17 of these burglaries were preventable.
Remember, take your valuables with you, don’t leave any bait. AND LOCK YOUR DOORS.

![School Bus Safety
Hey everyone, Coach Juan here to make sure you know that public and private schools in Marion County start up next week. School buses will be back on the road and, if you didn’t know, penalties have been doubled if you pass a stopped school bus.
How do you know when you have to stop? Here is how:
TWO-LANE:
Vehicles traveling in both directions MUST stop.
MULTI-LANE PAVED ACROSS:
Vehicles traveling in both directions MUST stop.
DIVIDED HIGHWAY:
[Unpaved space (Min. 5ft) OR any raised median or physical barrier.]
Vehicles behind the bus MUST stop.
Vehicles traveling in the opposite direction must proceed with caution.
Remember citizens, our future is riding on those buses. Let’s make sure to protect them and other drivers on the road. Stay safe citizens, Coach Juan out! School Bus Safety](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o7y3N4msyRc/mqdefault.jpg)
