Crime isn't something that "only happens to somebody else." By being alert, aware and by arming yourself with precautionary knowledge, you can make yourself less of a target for criminals.

The Escambia County Sheriff's Office launched The Law Enforcement Iniative to Educate Program to educate members of the community about crime prevention and public safety. The Shine the LITE on Crime campaign will target various areas of crime such as home invasions, residential burglaries, assaults and sexual assaults in order to help citizens avoid ever being a victim of crime.
