Free security systems available for domestic violence victims

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Free security systems will be available to a limited
number of domestic violence victims in St. Lucie County, thanks to a partnership
between St. Lucie County sheriff's victim advocates and a security company,
according to Sheriff Ken J. Mascara.

"We are grateful to AAA Security of Port St. Lucie for making security systems to a limited number of victims of domestic violence," Sheriff Mascara said. "The security systems will make victims safer, and the public will benefit."

To be eligible, domestic violence victims in St. Lucie County must have obtained an injunction for protection, or there must be a domestic violence, stalking or violation of protection order case filed with a law enforcement agency, and the victim must not be living with the offender. Other conditions may apply.

Those who want to participate in the program are asked to contact St. Lucie County Sheriff's victim advocates by telephoning (772) 462-3230.
