The Protect Rio Vista program utilizes your subscription funds to hire off-duty Fort Lauderdale police officers to patrol in the neighborhood. The officers are in uniform when on duty and have full authority to take official action action should a crime take place while on patrol. The officers patrol in a marked car leased by the civic association and will be dispatched by FLPD for any 911 call recieved from the neighborhood. Members also recieve a cell phone number by which they may contact the patrol officers directly while they are on duty. Members also recieve the opportunity to request a vacation check of their home when they are out of town.
The City of Fort Lauderdale’s Transportation and Mobility Department has created a summary of neighbor requests, major current projects and neighborhood organizations initiatives that are actively addressed during the month. The report will be sent to the neighborhood organizations on a monthly basis to continue to provide updates as needed.
