One parent was able to stop his teenager from sneaking out at night. Another started purchasing gift cards for food and movies, instead of giving cash, 
            as she learned that his friends were using the cash their parents gave them to buy Xanax and alcohol. McGruff Safeguard has become a valuable tool for 
            helping many parents not only get inside the heads of their teens, but also intervene to better protect their children. After installing the free software, many
            express shock at learning about the online relationships their child shares. “The McGruff Safeguard not only took one day to do what we wanted it to do,” 
            wrote a parent from New Hampshire, “Our 17 year old daughter was getting mixed up in some bad situations that could have possibly cost her life.” Using
            the software, the parents learned their daughter was corresponding with a man much older.“  He was telling her everything she wanted or felt she needed to
            hear. All the while building a trust with her.” With theinformation they learned through McGruff Safeguard, they were able to intervene and save her serious 
            heartache and maybe even her life.   

Now, The Florida Crime Prevention Association (FCPA) has partnered to get as many families using McGruff Safeguard. The service allows them to monitor
            and safeguard their kids’ online activities-without their knowledge.According to the FCPA, it is the first and only service to electronically connect parents
            with law enforcement in their common battle against sexual predators on the internet. McGruff Safeguard has been tested in homes since 2006. Parents
            report using it for everything from deleting and preventing internet predators from contacting their children, to stopping teen drug abuse. The product also is 
            credited  with preventing suicide of child victims of internet abuse. “The Florida Crime Prevention Association and its members strive every day to keep 
            families and children safe.” said FCPA president Keith Stripling. “We chose to partner with McGruff  Safeguardbecause it unites law enforcement and
            parents in their common goal to protect children.” The partnership allows the FPCA to provide a proven tool to families to help their kids stay safe online.If 
           a parent discovers an internet predator, McGruff  SafeGuard reports the suspected predator to law enforcement.At the same time, the software blocks that
           alleged predator from communicating with the child again or with any children protected by the McGruff Safeguard service. For a real eye opener, see

Soon, Orange County voters will elect a new sheriff. With current Sheriff Kevin Beary removing himself from consideration, the playing field is now more even for the remaining candidates. M.O.S.T. caught up with Edgewood Police Chief John Tegg, who feels that his vision and experience can turn around Orange County’s crime increase.

M.O.S.T. - Chief Tegg, what do you feel sets you apart from the other candidates?

J.T. - First of all, the number of years I‘ve had in the Sheriff’s Office; working my way up from an Intern position in 1975 to a Chief position. Another thing that I think is very important is the fact that I have been endorsed. I am endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police; Lodge 93 , by the Police Benevolent Association, which is the labor organization for deputies, the Orlando Police Department Fraternal Order of Police, Orange County Corrections Fraternal Order of Police and by Orange County Fire Rescue.

M.O.S.T.- As more of those endorsements come in, we bet your smile widens quite a bit because those are significant backings.

J.T. - Right. Those groups that I am naming have all worked for the other candidates. Malone Stewart was at the Sheriff’s Office where the deputies have already endorsed me over him, but they have also endorsed me over Jerry Demings and Bill Armstrong. For Jerry Demings that means that not only does the people who work for him at Orange County Corrections and Orange County Fire Rescue endorse me, but the people who worked with him at the Orlando Police Department have already endorsed me. So I think that is pretty significant because the people who worked for me are saying “Hey, I would like to work for him again” , but not only those people, but the people that work for the other candidates are now saying they want to work for me. We have a whole list of people who have endorsed now.

M.O.S.T.- Your plan includes putting more officers on the streets by assigning some of their administrative duties to other personnel. How soon would that occur once you are elected ?

J.T. - Well, we’re going to start on that right away. It’s just a matter of hiring the personnel to get them in there to get the backfield going. Some of that can take place by just changing current assignments of existing personnel in the department. So, we can start that right away and by putting more people in the streets I’ve got to go to the Communications Center and make sure they are properly staffed on each of the channels so that we’re not putting people out there without proper radio coverage. That will start right away.

M.O.S.T. - Speaking of radio coverage, tell us about your idea to have non-sworn volunteers use police radios to fight crime.

J.T. - That I think is going to be a great thing. What I am looking at doing is training some of the private security forces out there, of which there’s thousands, and training them as to what it is that a deputy sheriff needs and is looking for whenever we respond to a call. Once we put them through the training and some radio training, I will allow them to purchase a radio with one channel that goes up on a service channel. A service channel is a channel that the deputies do not necessarily use to do their calls. It might be for making phone calls or for calling for a tow truck or something like that. But it will pick up on a service channel. The deputy now can move from their operating channel over to the service channel to talk directly to the security people and get the information in real time. Every deputy on the street has a radio. This way, they can talk to them and get interplay while they’re driving and get direct information from them as to a suspect vehicle, what the suspect is doing or how they are dressed, what they have seen them do so far , are they getting ready to leave the property in a vehicle or are they on foot ; all of that kind of information which is real important for a deputy to get in real time.

M.O.S.T.- The number of documented gang members in the state keeps growing. Many of them are juveniles. What is your strategy for controlling gangs in Orange County ?

J.T.- We’ve got to first of all get our people back out onto the streets. We’ve got to establish that patrol presence and patrol visibility. Once we can get that established, we can start working with our Tactical Units and Gang Units to get these people identified and then start working them, maybe with a Tactical Unit. If they are out there at night or out there doing some activity, we’re doing actual surveillance on them and striking while it’s hot. A lot of these people have already got warrants and they’re already out on probation. They’re already out on parole. We’re going to use all those means to go after them and attack them before they get out there and get established.

M.O.S.T. - You have an impressive resume, including your current responsibilities as Edgewood Police Chief and, as you stated, all the years you have spent in Admin since 1975. What would you say though to an undecided voter who might say that Orange County is a much larger responsibility than Edgewood ?

J.T. - I would say that’s exactly right, but you’ve got to remember that I was 27 years at the Sheriff’s Office and I was a Chief at the Sheriff’s Office, so I’ve grown up in that agency and I know what it takes to run that agency. What I have done by being Chief at Edgewood ; it is just a smaller microcosm of what the Sheriff’s Office is. We’ve taken some of those techniques that I want to try and do at the Sheriff’s Office and have done the same things here in Edgewood and have seen our crime rate go done, our clearance rate go up and people feel a lot safer in Edgewood now than they used to.

M.O.S.T. - What has been your most rewarding career experience so far ?

J.T. - I would say it’s helping the city of Edgewood. I’ve really enjoyed being here and since I’ve been here we’ve gotten them State certified, so they are equal to any large agency in the State of Florida as far as meeting the policy and procedural things that the State of Florida recommends. We’ve met all those challenges and have now been certified by the State of Florida. They are accredited . Also, during the 2004 storms their police building was without power. We have since been able to secure a grant and have completely paid for a generator out of grant money so that their police building is fully operational within any kind of storm, hurricane or bad situation where power outages could be experienced. They are now fully functional. We also got a fleet of cars with less miles on them, new computers , training upgrades and we’ve been able to take care of their evidence. So we have done a world of changes here in the City of Edgewood and I’m real proud of that because now the City of Edgewood has an accredited police department that they can be proud of in their city.

M.O.S.T. - You strike us as being a spiritual man. Is there anything you would like to say about how that has helped you during your campaign ?

J.T.- Oh, absolutely ! I think that it’s faith in God that keeps you stable. You don’t ride as many of the ups and down’s quite as far and quite as high or as low because you know that through prayer and prayer support, and other churches and groups supporting you and praying for you, you know that you’ve got some good spiritual backing and you just pray that the Lord will lead you the right way and give you wisdom and guidance in all that you do. But, that only comes with that faith in God.

M.O.S.T. - Do you have any additional statements or remarks for the citizens and voters of Orange County ?

J.T. - The big thing again is; you look at the credentials, you look at the background, but certainly you look at the endorsements and the support. I think that most people will see that as far as a sheriff’s candidate, all the public safety area has endorsed me, is backing me and is supporting me . I’ve also got a lot of labor organizations. I’ve got the Orange County Farm Bureau. A lot of these groups are now coming behind me in support of my race for sheriff. I think that’s important because to have a leader that is going to go after the violent crime rate and attack crime , you need to know that the people who are working those areas support that leader and I am that person.
