When our first story on gated community security aired this week... I didn't know how the community would recieve it. Would people be angry we tested it? Or would it be the direct opposite.? It turns out we got a little of both.
But we also got something unexpected... change. Tonight we showed you how communities are tightning up, training guards, spending hundreds of thousand of dollars in upgrades and security guards.... are doing it right.
Every now and then a reporter gets the opportunity to tell a story that creates change. That's part of the reason I do this job. If we can improve our community, make a positive impact in life... it's all worth it. It would be what you call it "a good day a work." On this story it was a good two weeks.
I don't celebrate the security changes because we were the tipping point. I celebrate the changes because we may have saved you from a robbery, a domestic dispute, a rape etc.
We live in Southwest Florida for the quality of life. As the population grows... the quality of life will be challanged. Gated communities will one day be more than just a lifestyle... it will be about protecting your family. I believe this report and future reports like it will ensure you get the protection you expect.
