PBSO REMINDS the public …

•     If you can, leave your purse at home and carry only what you need, such as; your ID, money, and one credit card tucked safely in your pocket.
•     Walk in busy, well lit areas.
•     Hold your purse tightly and close to your body.  If possible, conceal underneath a coat or jacket.
•     Carry your keys in your hand.
•     REMEMBER YOU COME FIRST.  If a suspect pulls your purse away from you, let it go!

Just great. The PBSO is telling us how to protect ourselves. How much do we pay them? $1.2 million a month and crime is out of control.

Instead of our Trio concentrating on the ruination of John Prince Park for a billion dollar corporation that wants us to pick up the tab, they should be concentrating on the escalating crime in our city.

This took place at 19 S. K Street, the City owned parking lot behind Rotelli's.
