Do You REALLY Know Your Neighbors?? - Austin Answers

Hi there Concealed Coalition community! Today we’re diving into a crucial topic that touches on the safety of our families and the importance of knowing our neighbors. Understanding whether your neighbors are helpful, harmful, or somewhere in between is essential.
In this episode, Austin Davis recounts a recent experience from when his patrol life intersected with the topic of family safety. Austin was part of a multi-agency task force with the mission of visiting every registered sex offender in a specific county. These visits were eye-opening, as some of the offenders were not home, leading the officers to engage with neighbors to ensure compliance.
What was startling here was the lack of awareness among neighbors despite the public availability of information. Discovering that a registered sex offender lived nearby shocked some community members. This is why it’s important for us all to be aware of such individuals living in our vicinity and whether they’ve been caught, convicted, and registered.
So the key takeaways here?
Support law enforcement and the work that they are doing to keep our communities safe.
Know your neighbors. Publicly available information can reveal potential threats, and being informed is a responsibility we all share.
Remember, ignorance is not bliss when it comes to the safety of our loved ones. Be a guardian alway and a warrior when needed, and let’s build a stronger, safer community together.
Disclaimer: This episode is not meant to suggest that every registered sex offender poses an immediate threat, but it underscores the importance of being informed.
