Art in the Chambers

The third Art in the Chambers exhibition is currently on display with paintings by Ms. Kathleen Safi, who is a local artist. Ms. Safi holds a bachelor’s degree from University of Florida and an M.Ed. from the American College of Education.

Ms. Safi defines herself as a self-taught artist who developed her skills through a disciplined daily painting practice. Working primarily in acrylic and collage, she creates pieces rooted in the vibrant life of Central Florida, where she lives and works. Her current work explores the quiet rhythms and shared experiences that draw us together as a community. Additional information on Ms. Safi’s artwork may be seen on her website link: www.kathleensafi.com.

The free exhibition will be open to the public from November 3, 2025 until March 2, 2025 during regular office hours. Some of the paintings are for sale, and 25% of the sale amount will be donated to the Public Art Fund.

HOLIDAY SAFETY

Our Police and Fire Departments want to remind everyone to practice safety this holiday season. With Thanksgiving, followed by Black Friday holiday shopping, we want to provide some tips to keep you and your family safe this season!

Do not drink and drive

Impaired driving can lead to serious injuries or death on the road.

We know everyone wants to have a good time and enjoy the holidays, but please be responsible when it comes to grabbing the keys and heading home or to another location.

If you plan on drinking, please have a plan if you decide to travel:

Have a designated driver who will be the sober driver.
Plan on using a ride-share such as Uber or Lyft.
Leave the keys. If you drove to a location, leave the keys/car until you can pick it up when you sober up.
Always use seatbelts if you are the passenger.
Think about other drivers. You are a danger not just to yourself, but to other drivers trying to get home.

Holiday Shopping - Be Aware, Be Safe

Holiday Shopping can be a fun time for the entire family as you go out and purchase gifts. Oviedo Police want you to keep an eye on your surroundings when you are shopping.

Place bags and boxes in the truck of the car or if you only have a hatch, cover the packages up with blankets so thieves cannot see them.

Always lock your car doors.

Remove all packages from the car when you get home. Practice the 9PM Routine and make sure everything is out.

If you are purchasing large electronic items, do not let them out of your sight. Bring them inside and keep them secure inside the home.

IF YOU ARE ORDERING ONLINE, THWART THE PORCH PIRATES!

Porch Pirates can strike anywhere at anytime. They are no longer thieves in the night, but during the daylight hours also. These thieves approach homes across are area to steal packages you've ordered online. They are especially active during the holidays when more and more people are ordering online.

We want to offer some tips to help thwart the porch pirates. If you have been a victim of theft, please call us!

Protect Your Packages: Tips to Prevent Porch Theft

Install Cameras and Video Doorbells

A visible camera can deter thieves.
Recorded footage helps identify suspects and provides proof for vendors or police.

Use Motion-Sensor Lights

Bright, motion-activated lights can startle thieves.
They also draw attention to unusual activity on your porch.

Invest in a Package Lockbox

Built with durable, secure materials.
Requires a code to open, keeping packages safe until you retrieve them.

Secure Delivery Options

Ship to a Secure Location

Deliver to your office, a trusted neighbor, an Amazon Locker, or a P.O. Box.

Use In-Store Pickup

For retailers with physical stores, pick up your order at the counter.

Request a Signature

Be Proactive

Track Your Packages

Sign up for delivery notifications to know exactly when to expect your order.

Ask for Neighborly Help

Have a trusted neighbor keep watch or pick up packages for you.

Use Delivery Instructions

Request drivers place packages in a hidden spot or behind a gate.
