| Senior Check-In Program: |
The Senior Check-In Program will allow for a daily contact between senior citizens and the Ocean View Police Department. This service can provide peace of mind for seniors who live alone or act as a caretaker and do not have daily contact with family or friends. It is a free service to all citizens who qualify. The program consists of a daily check-in phone call with the Ocean View Police Department. If a phone call is not received within the specified time frame, an officer will attempt to contact you. If the police are still unable to contact you, further action will be taken based on your preferances. Participants are required to complete a waiver, and supply the necessary emergency contact information. If you are interested in the program please contact the station during normal work hours at 302-539-1111.

| Emergency Beacon Light: |
|
The Emergency Beacon Light is a new home safety product that can save precious seconds when you need help. The Emergency Beacon Light replaces your front porch light bulb. Under normal circumstances, it works just like an ordinary light bulb; however, in an emergency, simply turn your light switch off and on twice, and your outdoor light instantly becomes a flashing signal for help. When activated, your flashing porch light becomes a signal for fire, police and ambulance personnel to quickly find your home and could also alert neighbors, and even passers-by to an emergency situation. It's ideal for any home, especially those with seniors...children...or the disabled. Most importantly, it means that once you've called for help, you don't have to leave your home to go outside to signal your location. The Emergency Beacon Light is not a substitute for dialing 911. If you are interested in the program please contact the station during normal work hours at 302-539-1111.

The current campaign will distribute over 12 million free firearm safety kits and follows the successful Phase One distribution of 20 million firearm safety kits over the past year to all 50 states. Each firearm safety kit includes a cable-style gun lock and a firearm safety brochure.
