Help us Help Our Schools!!!! Show the Children We Really Care! Donate your spare crafts and surplus supplies to the Teacher Imaginarium!!!!
The Teacher Imaginarium is a complete, free resource center for teachers and educators. Since it's inception in 2006, teachers and educators have been supplied with educational materials and supplies, electronic resources for teachers and students, professional development opportunites, and a forum where educators can share ideas, information and free learning tools to be applied in the classroom. Your contributions to the Teacher Imaginarium will allow these teachers to enhance the rapport with their students. This impact can not be understated -- in a time of diminishing support for our schools, there is a greater need than ever before for instructional supplies and aids. This year, 2011, because of our program of redistributing to teachers, donated materials and supplies we find that our inventory has been significantly depleted. We are pleased that past donated supplies have found classrooms across the country that were in need. However, the need continues, and we would like to request your support for this important program.
Please take a look at the surplus inventory in your business. If you have any supplies that can be used in a classroom, that you would consider donating for this worthy cause, please contact us. Supplies can include but not limited to: paper, pencils, chalk, blackboards/whiteboards, and folders, hanging files, crayons, markers, cimputers and other electronic equipment. For questions regarding needs and to make arrangements for pick-up, please contact (954) 262.7822. You may visit our website at teacherimaginarium.org. Thank you for your anticipated support of the Teacher Imaginarium. Sincerely, Stanley Kratenstein, Associate Director
How to burglar proof your windows!!!!!
Taken from North Miami Beach Police Department Website How to Burglar Proof Your Windows Many burglars enter homes by simply breaking glass windows. A good deterrent is to have better quality glass installed at vulnerable points around the perimeter of your residence. Most burglars avoid attempting to break the following types of glass due to the fear of attracting attention: Here are some of the suggestions: read more... How To Select A Burglar Alarm
Taken from website of the North Miami Beach Police Department How to Select a Burglar Alarm Burglars dislike noise - it attracts attention. A barking dog is the best deterrent in preventing burglaries. However, a watch dog cannot always be depended upon. some professional burglars have been known to carry delectable "dog snacks" in their pockets - and with a full stomach, some watch dogs make friends easily and forget their purpose of guarding the premises. The most reliable safe-guard to protect your home and possessions is a reliable alarm. Many types of burglar alarms can be obtained for residential use. It is advisable, however, that basic hardware security measures be followed first. If additional security is desired, the following recommendations could be helpful. Obtain estimates from three alarm companies, notifying each of this procedure. A. A battery-powered fail-safe back-up.
Seniors vs. Crime
The North Miami Beach Police Department SENIORS VS CRIME Program is a special project of the Florida Attorney General's Office offered by the North Miami Beach Police Department [AG Bill McCollum's Press Release, Oct 12, 2007].
The primary goal of the Seniors vs. Crime program is to reduce the victimization of senior citizens. Seniors are often the target of specific crimes because of their age and trusting nature. If you are a senior citizen and you feel that a business has cheated you out of money or not delivered what they promised, you can go to the Seniors vs. Crime Office and have your case reviewed. The Seniors vs. Crime program is not limited to Seniors only and any citizen of South Florida can request the services of the program. The NMBPD Seniors vs. Crime Office has also instituted a new part of our program which will assist individuals in researching the legitimacy of a business before making a purchase or before signing a contract. This new initiative is called the Shopping Buddy Program. Individuals can call the NMBPD Seniors vs. Crime Office and request assistance in researching a business to determine if they are properly licensed and insured and if the business has any unresolved complaints with the Better Business Bureau. The Seniors vs. Crime Office does not recommend or endorse any business and only provides information that is available using public records and records from the Better Business Bureau and that the consumer could have obtained themselves. Our volunteers are here to assist in researching this information for individuals that may not have the ability to do the research themselves or may need help with the research.Our Shopping Buddy Program also offers a “Shopping Buddy” to accompany a senior purchaser to make a financial decision. The Buddy does not suggest a particular transaction choice. Rather the Buddy will remind the purchaser of the senior’s purpose. For example, we who deal with seniors know that a common tactic of car dealerships is to greet the lone senior who drives in with her old vehicle with the friendly invitation to wash her car for her free of charge. Once those keys are in the hands of the salesperson and passed to an associate, the senior is effectively held hostage until the salesperson or sales manager decides to release the senior or until the senior threatens to call the police as she is a prisoner. As female seniors tend to submit to any injustice to avoid discomfort, the senior usually is worn down by sales tactics and unable to leave tends to sign, not for a new car, but for a new lease agreement and drives off the lot with a leased car. The next day full of buyer’s remorse and refreshed from a good night’s sleep, the senior will call the dealership to reverse the sale and get her old car back. She is usually told that her old car is now sold and irretrievable and that she is the proud owner of a leased vehicle and its payments. If a Shopping Buddy had been present, the Buddy would have advised the senior to not get the free car wash and to keep her keys. Then when she had wanted to leave, she could have done so. If after coming to the dealership to trade in her car and buy a new one, the senior was steered to a leased vehicle, the Shopping Buddy could remind the senior that her intention was to buy a new vehicle, not to purchase a leased contract. Persons who wish to use a Shopping Buddy should contact us below. The Seniors vs. Crime Office is located at the North Miami Beach Police Department at 16901 NE 19th Avenue. Note: We will accept walk-in complaints. However, we suggest you call to make an appointment to discuss your case in advance. Specific documents may be required to review prior to discussing your case.

RAPP Residents & Police Presence RAPP Identity Theft, the fastest growing crime!!!
. Identity theft, the fastest growing crime in the country is INCREASING at an average rate of 20% annually; OVER 51% occurs in the WORK PLACE. DATA BREACHES are occurring at alarming rates, from private to public companies as well as the Federal Government. Most people are under the impression that their bank or credit card company is protecting them from ID theft. WRONG. It’s usually ONLY financial identity theft that their bank or credit card company is protecting them from which accounts for about 27% of ID theft. There are so many more types of ID theft that we are exposed to: criminal, driver’s license, medical, mortgage, social security and synthetic. Anyone can become a victim. Those that have had their identity stolen will face the same issues multiple times thereafter because their stolen identity continues to be resold. It happens in minutes and takes years for the fallout to stop. Consumers victimized by identity theft may lose out on job opportunities, be denied loans because of negative information on their credit reports. They may even be arrested for crimes they did not commit. The potential for damage, loss, and stress is considerable.
