WALKER CUP - A HUGE SUCCESS

THANKS IN PART TO THE JUNO BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT

The 48th Walker Cup, a biennial event recently held at the Seminole Golf Club on the weekend of May 7th and 8th was a highly enjoyable event for both participants and spectators.

Our Juno Beach Police Officers were there all three days of the event (including the practice day on May 6th) to help ensure the safety of all in attendance. A special thank you to the Jupiter Police Department for the services of their K9 Officers and to our own Juno Beach Police Volunteers.

The abundant sunshine and a steady breeze off the Atlantic Ocean made the Seminole hosted tournament an exceedingly fun event. “It was a great weekend of golf,” said Police Chief Brian Smith, an avid golfer himself.

Several pieces of equipment funded by the Juno Beach Police Foundation including the Drone, Golf Car, ATV, and the Beach Patrol Vehicle were all deployed over the weekend in support of this major event in the Town of Juno Beach.

BANK JUGGING

Major Paul Fertig tells us that Bank jugging is a regional crime that has recently started occurring in Palm Beach County.

Here are some actions you can take to prevent becoming a victim of bank jugging:

• Be familiar with your surroundings. Suspects typically watch the bank and/or ATM machine to see what their potential victim is withdrawing. If you observe a person loitering near a bank of ATM machine, do not confront them. Call the Police.

• Look in your rearview mirror to see if someone is following you from the bank/ATM. If you suspect someone is following you, keep driving, call 9-1-1 and follow their directions.

• Do not flash your cash. If you withdrew money, keep it out of sight.

• Take your cash with you. Criminals are hoping you'll leave the cash in the car for an easy theft.

When in doubt, be safe and call the Juno Beach Police Department at 561-799-4445 or 561-799-4446.
