LEE COUNTY (August 30, 2023) – This Friday, September 1, 2023, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) is launching a new push notification campaign to remind Lee County residents to establish a nightly home security check routine.
This campaign, “9pm Routine” is a nightly push notification sent through LCSO’s app reminding the receiver to remove valuables and firearms from their vehicles, check that their home and vehicle doors are locked, and that their home alarms and exterior light(s) are turned on.
The “Lee County Sheriff’s Office AL” app is available for free download within the Apple app store and Google Play. Once inside the app, users can enable these “9pm Routine” notifications with three easy steps.
Click on the gear at the top right of the screen to go to app settings.
Click on “Notification Settings”.
Toggle the “9pm Routine” option under Public Channels to the green, on, position.
Once users have these notifications turned on, they will receive a push notification on their phone each night at 9pm CST as a reminder to do their nightly 9pm Routine.
9pm Routine was originally launched by the Pasco County Florida Sheriff’s Office in 2016. Since then, it has been adopted by agencies across the United States. This campaign has helped to prevent crime nationwide.
“One of our most commonly occurring crimes involves theft of items from vehicles at night,” said Jay Jones, Lee County Sheriff. “This program is designed to remove the opportunity for those thefts to occur.”
