* If you would like to have your child's fingerprints taken (as part of the Child Find Program), you should call prior to your visit to ensure that a volunteer who is trained in fingerprinting will be available at that time.
* You may contact the Centre to make arrangements for a home security evaluation. Volunteers who have been trained in conducting security evaluations will assist you in checking your home to determine possible entry points and any weaknesses they may have. Remember that they will go to your home at your request only and will have their Ottawa-Carleton Police Volunteer photo identification card.
When it comes to home security, remember that no device or system can be completely burglar proof. You can however, take certain precautions to discourage thieves from breaking into your home. In future issues of the Summit, I will be offering some tips and guidelines that may be help you in making your home more secure.
May you all enjoy a very peaceful and secure New Year!
