K-9s get added protection
MESSAGE FROM

making a
difference

Members of the Retired Law Enforcement Association of Southwest Florida
donated eight ballistic vests to the LCSO K-9 Unit.
Group donates eight vests
to enhance overall safety
T
he Retired Law Enforcement
Association of Southwest Florida
is a K-9’s best friend.
The dog-loving group donated eight
U.S. made ballistic vests to the LCSO
K-9 Unit in September in appreciation
for the service they provide and the
dangers they face.
Association President Ray Hubbert
expressed thanks to the K-9s and their
human partners for the work they do. He
singled out Neal Monkman for donating
$3,000 to $4,000 in proceeds annually
from his renowned Christmas light
display at his Cape Coral home.
“These are heroes in our agency, and
we certainly appreciate them and their
handlers,” said Sheriff Mike Scott.
“We’ve made great progress protecting
our K-9s.”
Since 2009, the Retired Law Enforcement Association of Southwest Florida
has donated 55 vests to 16 agencies.

to our seasonal residents and
visitors. On behalf of the
men and women of your
Sheriff’s Office, I extend
every hope and prayer for
wonderful holidays and a
healthy New Year ahead.
A quick look back from

of an inordinate number of
shootings and homicides

the City of Fort Myers and

the area known as Dunbar.

is the season to start shopping
for those holiday gifts, which
means many of you will log on, log
in, and click your way through hundreds of cybermalls looking for massive holiday sales and huge deals.
There’s no doubt online shopping
can help reduce stress caused by long
lines, cranky shoppers and crowded
stores; however, if you choose to use
your computer or mobile device to
find the ideal gift for that special
someone this holiday season, be advised there’s a Grinch ready to steal
your jingle and your joy.
 Ho-ho-hold on before you click
that link delivered to you in an
email. Opening a contaminated link
could lead you to a “phishing” web-
site where shoppers who click through
are redirected to a fraudulent site designed to steal your identity and cash.
 Examine the websites URL.
Shoppers should always look in the
address box for the “s” in https:// and
in the lower-right corner for the
“lock” symbol before paying. If there
are any doubts about a site, right-click
anywhere on the page and select
“Properties” to see the real URL
(Web site address) and the dialog box
will reveal if the site is not encrypted.
Never enter your credit card number,
user identification or password without the “s” and “lock” symbol.
 Watch for “scammer grammar.” Stay away from websites with
frequent misspellings and grammatical errors.
 Research the prices. Similar
items typically fall into a general price
range. If one being offered to you falls
way below that range, you need to ask
yourself why. The usual answer:
Scammers use ridiculously low prices
to lure consumers into a bogus bargain
 Never use your debit card for
online purchases. A debit card is just
like cash and gives thieves access
to your bank account. For better protection, use only credit cards when
shopping online.
 Home for the holidays. Safe
online holiday shopping begins with a
secure network connection like that in
most homes. If you use choose to use
public Wi-Fi it’s best to limit yourself
to window-shopping and price comparing, rather than buying.
 Connection protection. Your
computer should always have the
most recent updates installed for spam
filters, anti-virus and anti-spyware
software, and a secure firewall.

Seniors
Remain safe, mobile with CarFit
Don’t let aging keep you
from remaining mobile
O
lder Driver Safety Awareness Week
is December 7 through 11, and the
Lee County Sheriff’s Office will be
working hard during this week and
throughout the year to ensure our older
adults remain active in our community –
shopping, working or volunteering – with
the confidence that transportation will
not be a barrier to strand them at home.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is working with community and statewide partners to keep our seniors safe and mobile.
When an ache or pain begins hindering
driving ability, many older drivers are
able to continue driving safely after making a few adjustments. For example, drivers who find it painful to rotate their
body to reach the seatbelt can benefit
from an Easy Reach Seat Belt Handle.
Those with stiff fingers from arthritis
can depress the seatbelt latch with a
small tool they leave in the car. Even getting into and out of the car can be made
much easier through the use of a Handybar.
CarFit is a program that helps introduce older drivers to some of these de-
vices in a non-judgmental environment.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office along
with Abby Services, Inc., Lee Memorial
Health System Trauma Center, and Florida Gulf Coast University are working
hard to bring CarFit to the citizens of Lee
County. CarFit initiates conversations
and educates drivers on ways to increase
their comfort and safety on the road in
their own vehicles. Participation in CarFit is free and confidential.
During a CarFit event, volunteers
check for and discuss:
 A seatbelt properly positioned for
safety and comfort;
 The tilt of the steering wheel and
position of the airbag;
 Plenty of room (at least 10 inches)
between the chest and the steering wheel;
 A properly adjusted head rest;
 A clear line of sight above the steering wheel and dashboard;
 Easy access to gas and brake pedals;
 Properly adjusted mirrors;
 Ways to reduce driver blind spots.
The entire process from the time you
drive into the event until you drive off
takes approximately 20 minutes.
CarFit classes
The next CarFit event is
taking place at AAA Fort
Myers at 2516 Colonial
Blvd., Fort Myers on
Wednesday, Dec. 9 from
10 to 11:30 a.m. Please call

Deputy named Lee’s top cop
12-year veteran honored
for exceptional service
T
he Second Annual Law and Order Ball recently was held at the
Harborside Event Center in downtown
Fort Myers where Lee County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Michael Zazwirsky was selected as the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.
Sponsored by the Rotary Club of
Fort Myers South, this event brought
together law enforcement officers
from all over Lee County with the
community for a night of reflection,
honor and praise for those officers
who went above and beyond in their
service to the citizens of Lee County.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office
had three out of five finalists for the
Law Enforcement Officer of the Year
award, selected through a blind judging process by citizens in the community. Deputy Christopher Meyer,
Deputy Michael Zazwirsky, and Staff
Officer Darryl Aubuchon joined Cape
Coral Police Detective Patricia Enterline and Fort Myers Police Officer
Dave Conticelli in receiving the high
honor for their service to Lee County.

Deputy Zazwirsky makes sure that
the entire North Fort Myers community has a happy holiday. The annual
Fighting Holiday Hunger event raises
funds and food for those in need. Deputy Zazwirsky worked tirelessly on
this event, which brought in more than
10,000 cans of food and 2,000 pounds
of dry food that was distributed to local food banks, eventually reaching
2,700 families in the community.

In an effort to keep intoxicated drivers off our roadways, AAA is offering this free program to both AAA
members and non-members.
If you or someone you know has had too much to
drink, call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO and AAA will dispatch a
tow truck to take the vehicle and the driver home on the
following days:
 Nov. 25 to 6 a.m. on Nov. 29.
 Dec. 24 to 6 a.m. on Jan 2.
ecently, Dr. Kim
Swanson, a Crime Prevention Specialist for the
Lee County Sheriff's Office,
was teaching a group of
community residents
on how to “Become a
Watchful Community,” one
of our crime prevention programs. This program shows
how burglars pick their targets, what suspicious activity is, the things to observe
and how to report.
At the end of the talk,
while the group was enjoying some refreshments, a
shout was heard. The property manager, Marjorie, was
yelling and pointing at a
young man wearing a
hoodie, shorts and a backpack who was walking rapidly toward the group.
When the group went to see
what was going on, the man
began running toward the
back of the community.
Marjorie told him it just so
happens a Lee County Sheriff’s person was here and
she was going to get her.
As he began walking by
the pool area with Marjorie
following from a safe distance she yelled and he began running toward the back
of the community. Someone
called 911 while another
went to see where the male
had gone. The man got into
a car that was idling by the
wooded area and drove off.
‘This is suspicious’
Marjorie said, “When I
saw that this man was wearing a heavy hoodie at 3:30
in the afternoon in the hot
sun and wearing a backpack, I remembered your
talk and thought ‘this is suspicious.’ ”
Another resident at the
talk gave the investigating

The Sheriff’s Office fraud line

If you owe Federal taxes, or think
you might owe taxes, hang up and

n the summer of 2015, detectives with the Lee
County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit began a homicide investigation that required the assistance of Digital Forensic Examiner’s Michael Lacombe and Matthew DeShazo. A piece of evidence
that was obtained from a search warrant conducted on a suspect’s home
was submitted to them for analysis,
and initially yielded no new investiDeShazo
gative leads.
After further analyzing the evidence, in what the FBI now calls a
groundbreaking achievement, the
two examiners discovered a new
method of digital evidence recovery
that no one had attempted before.
Software engineers for the company Lacombe
who made the evidentiary device
stated that the LCSO examiners should not have
been able to see and recover the information they
did, and were amazed at the outcome.
The information Lacombe and DeShazo gathered resulted in a major break in the case and
gave investigators the probable cause they needed

Community Partnership
Crime Stoppers looks to public for help
S
outhwest Florida Crime Stoppers
has been a key liaison between
the community and law enforcement
for more than 30 years, and its goal
has always remained the same – to
provide the community with an
anonymous way to report information
on unsolved crimes and wanted fugitives. In addition, Crime Stoppers
pays out a cash reward up to $1,000
if the caller’s tip leads to an arrest.
Crime Stoppers covers five counties: Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry
and Glades with a staff of three –
Trish Routte, Kyra Gravitt and
Jacqueline Santiago.
The hotline (800-780-TIPS) is
housed in Canada; therefore, there is
no call recording, no call tracing and
at no point is the identity of the caller
ever known. Callers are given a code
number. If a tip leads to an arrest, the
caller picks up the reward using that
code number as their only form of
identification.
As a side note, Crime Stoppers is
a nonprofit program and funded
through fines paid by criminals –
not tax dollars. So we use criminals’
money to put more criminals in jail.
