District 2 Substation and “Seniors vs. Crime”
On April 7,
2010, Orlando
Mayor Buddy Dyer, District 2 City Commissioner
Tony Ortiz, District 1 Commissioner Phil
Diamond, District 3 Commissioner Robert F.
Stuart, District 6 Commissioner Samuel B. Ings
and Police Chief Val Demings celebrated the
opening of the first Seniors vs. Crime Project
office in Orlando in the new District 2 City of
Orlando Police Department Satellite Office.
The Seniors vs.
Crime Project provides seniors in Orange County
with a place to file complaints about fraud and
scams, discuss their concerns with peers and
receive assistance. The offices will be staffed
by volunteer “Senior Sleuths.”
Senior Sleuths in
the Orlando office have been trained through
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum’s office
to provide assistance ranging from directing
seniors to the proper organizations which can
address their particular concerns to helping
recover property or money that was fraudulently
taken from senior victims.
The satellite
office will also serve more than 60 patrol
officers in District 2. |
