Safety in Celebration Florida and the next safety meeting

Safety in Celebration Florida is a question that always comes up when we show homes there. 

Celebration is not a gated community and of course this is a question many buyers ask about.

So let’s start with safe driving.  The CROA (the Celebration Residential Owners Association) has hired a paid deputies to enforce speed limits.  Since he was hired incidents are down 45%.

Service area safety and vandalism are patroled by detail deputies foot patrol of pool areas during evening hours.  Parks and pools are now closed at dusk and signs are posted in all service areas.

Sex offenders living in Celebration – after collecting information from several sources a CROA recommendation to proceed with a covenants amendment to prohibit registered sex offenders/predators from living in Celebration.

A citizen patrol program under the supervision of Osceola County Sheriff Hansell  for commitment and support is in place.  Training and certification for the first group of volunteers has been completed and patrols begun.

Narrow streets and traffic lights are under evaluation by Osceola County Traffic Engineers on certain streets and traffic intersections.  Waiting results.

Weekly e-mail sent out by the Town Hall has a Safety Stop section to inform residents of current safety issues.  There is also a safety corner section in the Celebration News.

The agenda for the safety committee includes safe driving, lights and covered benches for children at bus stops, further implementation of the Citzen Assisted Patrol, improved coordination with the emergency management committee, instigation of camera monitoring or vehicles entering/ exiting Celebration and promoting awareness for all residents to be active in the safety of the community.
