Make Orlando Safer Today
Empowering Orlando Against Crime
"People who you may never get to meet are counting on you to do the right thing."
M.O.S.T. is designed to empower citizens against lowlifes who rely on people being ignorant to their tricks and tactics. But, we're not ignorant. We're strong and united !
Persons featured on this site in relation to a crime are innocent until proven guilty.
Thank you to all who participated in Cyber Flag Day 2010. Internally, we flagged 5,600 posts. Some volunteers are still reporting,
but our nationwide total is over 6,400 Craigslist prostitute ads flagged.
We received some feedback from participants who did not realize the massive scope of Craigslist prostitution until they began to review and flag ads. We also encountered some posts that were made by concerned citizens who were trying to recruit people to flag ads with even knowing our effort existed.When one grass roots effort links with another, things happen !
We hope that Craigslist will wake up one day to efforts like this and to the dozens of official requests they have received over the years from law enforcement to remove their adult services listings and to add social responsibility to social media.
In the meantime, stay tuned and visit the rest of our site as we deliver more initiatives to help Make America Safer Today.

A Message From O.P.D. Police Chief Demmings

A Message from O.P.D. Chief Val Demings – I am excited to announce the arrival of the Crime Free Multi Housing (CFMH) program to the Orlando Police Department. CFMH is a certified program which partners rental property owners, residents and law enforcement personnel in an effort to eliminate crime in multi-housing properties. It is active in over 2000 cities and countries. CFMH is designed to help tenants, owners and managers of rental properties keep drugs and other illegal activity off their property. CFMH is a unique three part approach. Phase One involves an eight-hour training seminar for managers. Phase 2 will certify that the rental property has met the security requirements for the tenants' safety. In Phase 3, a tenant crime prevention meeting will be conducted. Once all phases are completed, managers will be able to place signage on their property advertising their participation in the program. Some properties where the CFMH program has been implemented has shown a reduction of crime up to 70%. Other benefits enjoyed by participants of the program are lower maintenance and repair costs, increased property values, improved personal safety for tenants, landlords and managers, and increased demand for rental units with a reputation for active management. I'm proud to announce that 40 communities in the City of Orlando attended our first Phase 1 training session. I invite any rental community interested in participating to contact the Crime Prevention Division at 407.246.2461.
