Juno Beach Police Foundation

POLICE FOUNDATION'S ANNUAL CAMPAIGN CONTINUES INTO 2021

Thanks to your generous support and donations we are able to continue our mission of supporting the men and women of the Juno Beach Police Department.

Foundation support enables us to continue providing for the additional equipment, training and technology needs of the Juno Beach Police Department, over and above what the current Town budget provides. It also allows us to fund numerous "Quality of Life" items for the community. Have a look at our completed projects.

This year's campaign mailing points out that "...these are difficult and challenging times for law enforcement" and asks recipients to "Help Ensure the Safety of Juno Beach."

Will you help us reach our goal with a contribution today?

LONG-TIME JUNO BEACH POLICE SERGEANT RETIRES AFTER NEARLY THREE DECADES OF SERVICE

Sergeant Andrew Luscavich has retired from our Police Agency after nearly three decades of public service to the Town of Juno Beach and its residents.

Drew joined the Juno Beach Police Department in February of 1992 as a patrol officer and served in that position for thirteen years. In 2005 he was promoted to Sergeant and took on the supervision of other Officers.

Officer Luscavich was named Officer of the Year in both 1992 and 1995 and Supervisor of the Year in both 2015 and 2019. From September of 2018 thru December of 2019, he took on the additional role of Administrative Sergeant, responsible for some of the day-to-day operations of the overall department.

“The members of the Department and I are all very thankful for Sergeant Luscavich’s 29-years of dedicated service” said Brian J. Smith, Chief of Police. “We wish him the best of luck and enjoyment as he enters into a whole new life ahead, a life full of joy and experiences just waiting to happen.”

TWO NEW OFFICERS JOIN THE JUNO BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT

Chief of Police Brian J. Smith has announced that two new Police Officers have joined the Department.

Police Officer Ryan Hoffmann, a Detective with 10 years of service with the New York City Police Department and Police Officer Timothy Philipps, a 30 year member of the Buckingham Township (PA) Police Department were sworn in by Juno Beach Town Clerk Caitlin Copeland on January 4th, 2021.

Officers Hoffmann and Phillips will now begin a six month training program under the guidance of Police Sergeant Jeffrey Fitch, the agency's training officer. Given their considerable police experience, both are expected to complete their local training quickly and efficiently.

FLORIDA SCHOOL BUS PENALTIES CHANGED IN 2021

Effective January 1, 2021, the penalties for failure to stop for a school bus double. The penalty for failure to stop for a school bus goes from a minimum $100 to $200 and if a second offense is committed in 5 years, the person’s license can be suspended for up to 1 year.

The penalty for passing a school bus on the side that children enter and exit when the school bus displays a stop signal goes from a minimum of $200 to $400 and if a second offense is committed in 5 years, the person’s license can be suspended up to 2 years.

Please be alert and watch for children, especially near schools, bus stops, school buses and in school parking lots. Note that children on bicycles can be unpredictable and can make sudden changes in direction. Be especially careful when children are present in school zones and residential areas.

JUNO BEACH POLICE OFFER MATURE DRIVING COURSE

The Juno Beach Police Department has announced a "Mature Driver Class" which will give graduates an insurance discount valid for the next three years.

The six hour Zoom Video Conferencing program to be conducted on February 4, 2021 - 9:00 AM-4:00 PM is presented by the Safety Council of Palm Beach County, Inc. and is developed for senior drivers with years of driving experience.

The program will be presented by a live instructor who will review basic driving techniques and introduce techniques to help offset the effects of the aging process on driver performance including:

• Reaction Time
• Hearing and vision often significantly affected by the aging process
• Night driving, which increases the possibility of a fatal accident by three times

The course fee, payable to the Safety Council, is just $18.00

To enroll in this Zoom "Coaching the Mature Driver" class, or to get further information call the Safety Council at (561) 845-8233 or 1-800-640-2415. You can also visit the Safety Council website at www.safetycouncilpbc.org
